This is interesting… My computer didn’t see my Clip tonight when I plugged it in. I reconnected it, & it worked, so I’m not sure what happened. I’m using Linux, so most of you won’t be able to answer this, but if anyone can give me some words of wisdom, I’d appreciate it! Does this normally happen from time to time?
I take it this is normal, then?
So this is common with portable mp3 players? As long as it doesn’t happen too often, I can accept that. The Clip is my 2nd mp3 player, & the 1st one I had(Coby brand) was rarely detected by my computer. Maybe it doesn’t work well with Linux? Anywho, it gave me problems from the start so I opted for the Clip. Wise choice, huh?.. 
What exactly do you mean by “situation”? Just curious…
Ahh, I see… thanx again Miikerman, you’ve been a great help!!
