My best advice is to use the software mp3tag to create music playlists for audio files saved under the Music folder in the Clip Sport (or under the Music folder on the micro SD card).
Then, try this method for starters:
1. Create one “primary” subfolder under Music for one Artist, for one Genre, or for one specific collection of albums, etc.
There can be several secondary subfolders within the new “primary” subfolder.
(You can create several other “primary” subfolders after you are satisfied with this method.)
2. Use Windows File Explorer to copy your desired secondary folders and music files into the new “primary” subfolder.
3. Use mp3tag software to load all the contents of your new “primary” subfolder into the playlist manager window.
Create your desired sorting scheme in this master list for the order you would like to play the music files.
4. Use mp3tag software to save the playlist file (with your “desired filename”.m3u) into the “primary” subfolder.
5. Use the Windows drive eject tool to make sure all file management is complete before you disconnect your player.
Playlists are accessed by the Clip Sport using Music Mode (internal) and Card Mode -> Music (external) NOT FOLDER MODE
It is not possible to mix internal and external music files in the same playlist.
If you want to use a “Songs” directory, this should be inside the Music directory. (like a new “primary” subfolder).
One or many music files can be part of many different m3u files. Start experimenting using these basic instructions.
I think it works best to use mp3tag software to make playlists from folders and files the software sees on the player (and the card). I think it does not always work if you design a playlist on your PC and then copy everything to the player.
Maybe report back here with your progress and SanDisk Forum members will provide more & better advice.
