it is skipping to song #15

MP3 players Sansa Clip | Clip+

ok this is soooo frusterating. When I go to song #1 it skips to song # 15.I cannot delete 1-15 to start over. What is going on here.
I am not computer literate so please talk in terms that I will understand.

Thanks

oh the songs that it is skipping over look like this in the song list ._07angel.
It seems to not play the songs with ._ infront.

Files that start with a . are generally hidden files so I would not be surprised if the clip ignores them.  Try using a more standard method of naming your files.  :slight_smile:

ok now how do I re name them.

Right click the file and go to properties at the bottom.  Then in properties go to the summary tab and if you have to click advanced.  You can click on any info and modify it.  You’re looking for Title at the top!

Oh I forgot to mention that I have a Mac so right-clicking the files does nothing compared to with a PC.

Any other suggestions as to why they aren’t working nicely? Should I just say nuts to this and borrow a PC from a friend?

Thanks

Hmmm, well, looking at it again, the songs that are prefixed with ._ don’t even show up in the file list when I hook the Sansa up to the computer. It seems like the only thing recognizing that there are mystery songs is the sansa (which I can’t delete the song files off of because it doesn’t stop on them - just skips right through) and me. It is getting awfully annoying!

Thanks for the suggestion - unfortunately I tried it and it didn’t work. The ._ songs are still showing up.

Anyone else having a problem with this?

Try updating to the latest firmware to fix some MAC problems.
