Is there going to firmware supporting mpeg-4 audio? It is really annoying that I can’t use this type of file on the Clip+. Considering my entire libary is in .m4a and iTunes is the most popular music store that sells only .m4a files, I feel it is not right for SanDisk to not include this file type to the Clip+.

The new Fuze+ supports AAC (M4A) format for unprotected media (M4P is not supported).
From iTunes, you can convert your files to MP3 format for use on any device other than Apple.

You can, but you will lose some quality converting lossy to lossy. Better off buying a Fuze+ or putting rockbox on that Clip+.
OK, I’ve heard of Rockbox, but that is all. I am not a rocket scientist. While it is possible to convert files in iTunes, I prefer the AAC HE (AAC+) format. Is there any danger for me in using Rockbox? I will mention, for anyone who has seen my previous posts, I have returned to Windows from the Mac. Not sure if that matters or not.

Rocketbox failed to operate on my computer. I have a 64-bit version of Windows 7. Even trying the Windows compatibility mode in XP, it would not operate. So I aborted. My entire iTunes library is in 80 kbps AAC+. I have just returned to Windows from the Mac. I will have to look around for a program (free) that will convert to ogg. I don’t like MP3, regardless of compatibility.

What do you mean it failed to operate on your computer?
Rockbox doesn’t run on computers, it runs on Mp3 players. What exactly did you try to do?
Oops, I didn’t mean to call it Rocketbox. Meanwhile, I did get it to install. Turned the screen into something that is impossible for me to read. The basic Clip+ screen is bad enough. So I quickly figured out how to remove it. Perhaps I will find a program to convert to ogg or wma soon.

If you have bad eye sight, just increase the text size.
I looked at the PDF (manual) which is really hard to read, and yes I have bad eyesight. The HTML looks okay, but I guess it just isn’t that big of a deal for now.
Thanks!
