I don’t see any problem. One (the one that says this is now it should be) is connected in MTP mode, and the other (yours) is connected in MSC mode.

Which mode is better? Depends on how you plan to use the device.

  • ‘Syncing’ with Windows Media Player, Rhapsody, Napster, Audible audio books or any other DRM-crippled or time-sensitve files = MTP.
  • Load you own music (like .mp3’s bought on-line, or ripped from your own CD’s) via drag & drop = MSC mode.
  • Don’t use the Auto Defect mode.

Your computer can only ‘see’ files that were added in the mode in which it is connected. In other words, if all your musci was transferred to your player in MTP mode, you will not be able to see or access those files on your computer unless the player is in MTP mode. In MSC mode, you’ll see nothing. The songs are still there; you just can’t see them.

Likewise, if your music files were transferred in MSC mode, the player has to be hooked up in MSC mode before you can see or do anything with them. The problem with the Auto setting is thaton can connect in either mode without your knowledge. so if you use multiple computers and it’s connectiing differently on each one, it can make it real confusing.

So, go into Settings > System Settings > USB Mode and change to the other setting, re-connect and you should be able to see your music.

On your Clip, one of the main menu items is Settings. Select this (center button). Scroll until you see System Settings. Select this (center button). Scroll until you see USB Mode. Select this. You should have 3 options, Auto (or Auto Detect ), MTP & MSC. This is where you select the USB mode you wish the player to operate in.

Try one (_ not _ Auto; leave this alone), connect and see if your music files ae now visible. If not, disconnect, change to the other USB setting, reconnect and they should be there.
