I received the SanDisk Clip Zip player today to play audio books. I found a book on a legal free site in a mp3 format but it is zipped – they all are. I can drag and drop zipped file into the AudioBooks folder, but it doesn’t show up on the player. When I try to move the unzipped chapters, I can’t do it. The red circle with a line through it shows up. How do I move books from my computer onto the device? Thanks.
You have to first ‘un-zip’ the zip (compressed) files. Then copy the ‘extracted’ files to the player. 7-Zip is a good free program to do this.
Delete the .zip folder from your player. Then use 7-Zip to extract the z.ip file on your computer. Then copy/paste or drag & drop the (now larger) extracted files to your player.
Thank you very much! I’m now enjoying the player.
Sweet!
