So I show what happens in that video, watch it, its only 52 seconds long.

So the name of the album is “as the palaces burn” but it shows up as “as the palac” and that song should be “in defense of our good name” but it shows up as “in defense of your good n” but otherwise the songs play just fine. Is this normal? Does it do this for you too? I mean if there are othters who experience it too and have opted to just deal with it then I will too.

Clip Sport Firmware versions 1.27 and 1.29 allow the scrolling display of 14 unicode characters for Title / Album / Artist in the ID3 tags. Genre information is not used.  

    (Beta Firmware 1.28 only allowed the scrolling display of 8 unicode characters for these ID3 tag fields.

did you even watch the dam video? the names of songs and albums are literally showing up missing letters!!! so if a song is say “High as a kite” it’ll show up as “High as a ki” does that make any dam sense to you???

This is common behavior for the Clip Sport.  Maybe make sure you are using the most recent Firmware, version 1.29.

Harsh comments for this good sounding & fun player that is sold at an economical price.

Maybe you will be better served by the iPod Nano sold by Apple?

correct this is the design. The player’s controller is not very powerful. Due to this the meta data is truncated. there is nothing that can be done as said before. As a work around you can shorten the album name etc. IIRC the character limit is 12 or 14 characters.
