For the last few months I have noticed that the batter life has drastically gone down. I can listen to my music for maybe 30 to 40 minutes. turn it off and the next day I have noticed the battery life has gone from full to nearly gone or gone. Is this a sign of MP3 player batter dieing? should i buy a new one?
Something else is I have to charge it for a heck of a lot longer then I should. It normally locks on battery low screen or refreshing media screen too.
Also, I have a 32G micro sd card in my 8G MP3 player. I only see 2000 songs which I know is not all I have on the disk. Why does it not see all the music?
A few suggestions:
Battery Problems?
Make sure you are turning off the player when you are done listening, not just leaving it on Pause.
Maybe check your Power Saver Setting. I use “5 Mins”. Will autimatically shut off the player if left in pause mode for 5 mins
Maybe try using a different micro USB charging cable. I always get best charging and data communication results with the micro USB cable that came with my Clip Sport.
2000 Song Limit in Music Database?
Maybe take a look at all the replies in this long message about beta Firmware 1.28 in the SanDisk Forum for Clip Sport

I think the 4000 file limit allowed in the beta firmware is a good match for the file capacity of a 32gb micro SD card.
I turn it off after I am done listening to it. I only used the usb cable that it came with to charge it.
Ok I get that a firmware maybe the reasoning to only seeing 2k or so songs.
