Music that is on my Clip doesn't show up on my computer.

I love my Clip, but I’m having some trouble with it.

I’m trying to delete the muisc off of my Clip and put different music onto it, but the music that has been on my Clip doesn’t seem to exist, according to my computer. When I plug my Clip into my computer and open Rhapsody, or even the Clip itself up (through My Computer, then drive L: SANSA CLIP) I can’t find any of the music on it. I’ve enabled Hidden Files, and this is what I see:

All of those folders are empty, save for RECORD, which has an empty FM and an empty VOICE folder in it.

Yet the music is still on my Clip. I can unplug it from my computer and listen to it (and no, it’s not the radio).

How can I find this music and get it off, so I can put new music on it, or am I stuck with the same songs forever?

you are connecting in MSC mode and you probably copied the files over in MTP mode.  go to settings > usb mode > and select MTP. you should then be able to see your music when you connect it to the computer.

That fixed it! Hey, what do these different modes do? Which one should I keep my Clip in, or does it matter?

I have the exact problem on mine.  However, when I set in MTP mode, Windows displays the install driver wizard.  If I cancel out of that, the clip doesn’t appear in Win Explorer.

Suggestions?

Update:  I resolved this one by installing Windows Media Player 11 and setting the SansaClip in MTP mode

You can still use WMP in MSC mode. To solve the invisible music problem just requires using either MTP or MSC…auto-defect is where the probles start developing with hidden songs. :wink:

This is the same case for my sansa fuze 8gb player. How you can read it on a mac is by using the android file transfer program which allows you to connect via mtp - which you have to select in the fuze’s system settings under USB.
