Newly added folders are not visible in clip + 4 gig

Initially about 10 folders of music were added and played to the new player with no problem.

Now, when new folders are drug and dropped to the player, they appear in the Explorer window along will all the other folders, but the new ones do not appear on the music list on the player.

This happened with both a Amazon download and music ripped from a CD.

I set the player to MSC mode and then the Internal Memory did not show up in Explorer. Instead there was a list of the folders on the player.

=================

When your player is connected to your computer under USB MSC mode (set under the player’s settings/USB Mode), your computer only sees the files that had been transferred to the player when the player was connected under MSC mode.  Likewise as to MTP mode.  Regardless, all the files show up and are playable on your player, under whatever USB mode setting.

Possibly the player cannot read the ID3 tags of these newer files. Can you find an ‘Unknown’ listing in the Artist list? Are the missing files/folders there?

Yes, but there are not enough “Unknowns” to account for the missing files.

They show up in Explorer, but not on the player.

Then you’ve got some tag-editing to do. Download & install MP3Tag and set the Write default (in Tools menu) to ID3v2.3 ISO-8859-1 format. Open up your folders/files in it, delete anything in the Comments field and check to insure there are no strange or foreign characters and the information is correct. Then click the SAVE icon.

You’ll probably want to make these changes with the files on your computer, then copy the corrected files over to the player.

Some of the music was purchased through Amazon.

Is it common for them to be selling music with missing or faulty tags?

In a word? Yes. But, it’s not only Amazon, it’s everyone.
