Sansa® Clip Zip™

Audible Manager is telling me :

Your Device is not Supported
---------------------------
Your SanDisk Sansa Clip Zip 4GB device model is not compatible with Audible content. Please click OK to see our supported devices in our Device Center.
---------------------------

My SanDisk device driver is up-to-date.  What now?

Thanks!

Sandisk has to work it out with Audible. I dont know where they are in the process but this has come up before. Both companys have been made aware of this issue.

This player is so new that these things will come up. As Firmware updates and Audible manager updates happen this will likely work itself out.

I saw this on another forum yesterday......

Just checked with Audible as I'm the book freak. They said might have software within a month; I said that's too long! I'm going to load a
ripped book and I'll report on my reaction to the ClipZip and books.

Is posting this with your reply supposed to be a hint?

Did you notice this forum has a search function? Its not impossible to figure that someone else asked your question before you did, and we have answered it(probably multiple times). Check it out! Or Check out the Knowledge Base

If so, please note, I did search for the word "audible" before asking my question.

I'm sorry if you have to answer the same question over and over again, but in this case, tough.  The advertising for the Zip brags it's compatibility with Audible.   grrrr...

Thats My Signature. You are not who it was aimed at. This Forum is for a new player. Very little has been previously asked. In forums for The Fuze or Clip most things are rehashed 10 or more times. Thats who the signature is for. 

As for Audiobooks. I tried to add an audible book from my mac and that doesnt work either. A software update is needed for PC and For Mac... Im just out of luck (Its an Itunes thing).

The Audible issue is odd, isn't it?  One would think that Audible just "would work" with the Clip Zip, having worked with the original Clip and Clip+.  Hopefully, it gets sorted out sooner rather than later. 

[detepe]

Much sooner than later.  My daughter already laid claim to my Clip+.  Retrieval may be tricky....

I actually managed to get my audible.com books into Audio Books on my new Zip Clip, but they won't play.

I've tried everything audible.com sent me and no luck.

Also get the "not recognized" message.

Hope this gets fixed soon.   Wouldn't have purchased the Zip or the audio books if I knew it was this difficult.

The Audible Manager will have an update soon, allowing Audible book compatibility with the Clip Zip.

You will need the latest SanDisk Digital Players Plugin as soon as it is available.  This will be found under Updates for the Audible Manager client.

The Clip Zip is very new.  I'll post here as soon as the plugin update is available from Audible.
