I’ve had my 2GB Clip for a couple years & never had many problems but recently it has started taking a very long time turning on, selecting, & switching songs, as well as not syncing with the computer. I finally got it to sync today after doing a Google search on syncing problems, but Media Player showed that there were no files on it except for a few voice recordings, even though in the corner where it shows how much space is left, it showed that it was almost full. So I disconnected it, turned it on & tried to play songs, & to my horror, even though it’s now working at normal speed, it says EMPTY. I turn it off, turn it back on, & it’s back to being delayed with every function & it shows that I have my 317 songs again, but the song list is a list of 317 blanks & there’s no content when I try to play them… ???
Not only this but my laptop recently died so there goes all the backup of the music I have/had on the Clip! At the very least, if I can’t fix my Clip, I just want to be able to copy all my music onto my desktop from my Clip so if I end up buying a new Clip I at least won’t lose all my music! This is YEARS of accumulated music people…
