I am not too computer savvy. That said, I am having trouble finding an easy program to load music. I am completely familiar with “Creative MediaSource Organizer”, but this program seems incompatible with the CLIP. Is there a setting I could change on the CLIP to get it to work? or is there another good program out there? (I hate Rhapsody. My computer has all sorts of problems when it’s installed)

Something that always works in manually dragging and dropping music from your computer to the Music folder of the CLIP. Its easy and works overtime 
People do use WMP 10 (Clip USB mode set to MSC mode), WMP 11 (Clips USB mode set to MTP mode/auto), MediaMonkey. If you have problems connecting with creative mediasource organizer, try changing the USB mode under Settings menu. This may not work and if not set it back to what was originally set too (probably auto).
You may update your computer with widows media player 11, to get the latest os drivers to support media devices.
My personal opinion is keep it simple. drag and drop always works for me .

Cheers,
I’m not too wild about Rhapsody either, but you can use Rhapsody to do downloads pretty much automatically. All you have to do is create a Playlist with all of the songs that you want on your Clip. Then just drag and drop the Playlist onto your Clip and it will download all of the songs automatically. I’ve done it. It works. You can probably do that with other software, but I’m using the Rhapsody software that came bundled with the Clip.
You could drag and drop each song individually, but that is a slow process that eats up your time. I have over 600 songs on my 8GB Clip and I’ve had to reformat my Clip a couple of times. If I had to drag and drop each of those songs individually for each reformat, I would drag and drop my Clip into the garbage can.
By the way, it looks like I’m having the exact same problem with the Clip that you did. My Clip was stuck in Pause mode, I reformatted it, and then I couldn’t get it to power up. I revived it by plugging it into the computer - my Clip seems to be working OK now, but I’m worried that it’ll either freeze up in pause mode again, or won’t power up sometime when I need it most.

(Note: This post was edited. I had written earlier that I was having a weird problem when I disconnected my Clip from my computer, but it seems to be working OK now.)

You don’t have to do it 1 file at a time. That WOULD take forever and a day. Using your Shift or Ctrl key in conjunction with your mouse, you can highlight however many folders or files you want, and then drag them over ‘en masse’.
For example A - G, H - P, Q - Z. This only requires minimal attention and effort from you. The computer does all the hard stuff.
