I plug in my Sansa Clip USB but it is invisible to both my file mgrs on WinXP SP2. I want to congratulate Sansa designers and engineers. This is the worst possible outcome. This thing is too small for a door stop.
I just got a Woot close-out Clip 2GB. I downloaded the PDF user manual. According to the stuff I’ve read, they state min sys req as WMP10. Is it absolutely necessary to install WMP10+ or is there a good work around? I listen exclusively to recorded MP3 radio streams and WEBcasts.
I have WMP9 which is as far as I’d like to get involved with Win DRM. I can either return the player or upgradeto WMP10. As distasteful as that might be, its not out of the question. Why these engineers want to be tied to a specific player is a total mystery. I thought an MP3 was an MP3, a universally playable file.
it is not absolutly nessassary to have WMP 10. you will need WMP 10 or higher to use MTP mode. you should be able to use your clip in MSC mode with no problem.
go to settings>usb mode>and select MSC
the clip should now mount as a drive letter and you should not need WMP 10
you can use audible content but you will need to use MTP mode (which means you will need WMP 10 or higher) MTP mode allows the transfer of DRM licenses.
if you install the latest firmware 01.01.29 (there is a post stickied at the top of this board) on the clip you will get a audiobooks folder. Any mp3s you put in this folder will be able to be bookmarked. all you need to do is pause the file before you change songs and when you come back to it it will ask if you want to resume playback or start from the begining.
check out the release notes for the latest firmware for more info.
