Can't play music from SD card on my Clip+

SanDisk MP3 players Sansa® Clip | Sansa® Clip+

Greetings All,

I have a Clip+ with a 4gb internal memory and a 4 gb card. Using windows media player I have added music to the internal memery and to the card.

Any music on the internal memory plays fine. If I choose any song or album that is on the card my Clip+ will play 1 second of music and then freeze.

I have to turn the unit off and back on again before I can play music again, only from the internal memory not from the card. What am I doing wrong?

Do I have to format the car in a special format.

Thanks,

Frustrated

What format are the songs in? Are they protected? Are you using MTP or MSC for the USB mode(set in the player’s menu)? Some protected music might not play from card memory and needs to be in main memory to play, while other protected music can play from card memory if transfered in MTP mode by a media player such as Windows Media Player that properly transfers the licenses. To be on the safe side, it is a good idea to put protected music in main memory, and leave card memory for unprotected music.
