Up until about a week ago I was able to download and play Audible Audio files (.aa) with no problems. Then all of a sudden, while the clip was connected and I was removing a file via audible manager, the program popped up a message box saying the clip was no longer connected. Fine, I disconnected and reconnected it and now audible manager says the clip is not compatible.
I still have about 14 .aa files on my clip that work (except the bookmarking is sporadic - sometimes it remembers where I left off, sometimes it doesn’t).
According to their website, I need to format the clip via the main menu->settings->format option. I’m nervous that if I do this (which I assume will wipe all my files out) that I will never again be able to play .aa files!
Anybody else have a similar experience or know how to fix it?
Thanks, Peter
I have two 2GB Clips that i use strictly for Audible and ripped audio books. One of them a few weeks back suddenly was not recognized by the download manager. Like you I was afraid to format but it is a cinch on the Clip. It simply does a
complete erase job except for firmware. Your .aa files should be re-loadable from Audible once the format is complete.
My Clip went back to working immediately. I think when we book users remove files frequently fragments are left lying
around and it just has to be cleaned up after a time. I have also had to re-format my other clip too. Be sure that you have the latest firmware 1.01.20 and the bookmarking issue should not be a problem once the glitches are cleaned up.
I prefer to remove files via My Computer>Explore>Open Clip and remove as needed.
Hope this helps,

Thank you so much! I took a leap of faith as you suggested and everything worked as expected!
