can some one also give me at tutorla on on adding podcast onto my sansa clip Please

  1. You need a podcatcher app.  iTunes is the most famous.  Subscribe to the podcasts you like on the iTunes Store.  Retrieve them.  iTunes puts them on your PC.

  2. Assuming you are using a Windows PC, use Windows Explorer to drag-and-drop podcasts (easiest is to have two Windows Explorer windows open):

  • From: C:\Users\<yourUserName>\Music\iTunes\iTunes Music\Podcasts\<podcastFolder>\<individual pocasts>

  • To: Clip, folder “Podcasts”.  Putting them in “Podcasts” ensures that you get proper resume[Note 2] for every podcast.

Note 1: Most all audio podcasts are in MP3 format.  When you subscribe via iTune, sometimes you’ll get them in M4A format (like the gdgt weekly podcasts).  Those won’t play on the Clip (and most other non-iPod players).  Solutions: 1) M4A podcasts are rare, just ignore them or listen on your PC; 2) use a separate converter app to convert to MP3, or 3) use another podcatcher (Juice, Doppler, others?) and usually you can subscribe to that same podcast in MP3 format.

Note 2: “Proper resume” means you can navigate away from content, listen to other content, then go back to the first content and it will pick up within the file exactly where you left off.  On the Clip, you get proper resume if the file is tagged “Podcast” or the file is located in directory “Podcasts”.  (Similar for audiobooks: tagged “Audiobook” or resides in directory “Audiobooks”.)
