new Clip+ 4GB

I’ve gotten a new Clip+ (4GB).  

Side note: I’m horrified at how much I paid for this tiny piece of discontinued mobile-audio gold, but nothing else will do. I suspect everyone here understands.:smiley:

So…  a couple of questions:

(1)  I use WMP v.12 to transfer Audible.com audiobooks to the Clip+.  This works as expected, and Audible files show up and play on the device expected.  But when I view the files on my device in WMP, Audible files don’t show up.  I’m guessing it has something to do with MTP vs. MSC vs. Auto Detect.  My Clip+ is in Auto Detect mode.  Do I need to put into a differet mode?  I also use Rhapsody for music, in case that matters. (No issues at all with Rhapsody.)  It’s not a huge deal, since I can see Audible files in My Computer, but it would be nice to be able to work just in WMP.

(2)  Since this is a new device, should I install the most recent firmware?  The version on the device is V01.02.17A.  If I should upgrade, what’s the newest version?

NEVER use the Auto Detect setting (or as many here refer to it, Auto-Defect).

If you primarily use DRM-encrypted files, use MTP mode; otherwise use MSC.
