Possibility to label/asign names FM stations

MP3 players Sansa Clip | Clip+

Got new idea!

i like fm, but when there are many stations - it’s difficult to navigate

so that what i mean - just scan FM frequencies, save presets, connect Clip to computer, go to the root of the Clip, open config file, where all presets are stored, and after - just add labels to every freaquency

hope, sansa devs. will understand what i mean

thnx !

If I understand you correctly, you are suggesting that it be possible to re-name your pre-set FM radio frequencies to the station’s call-signs, or other familiar name rather than just the numbers. For example, K101, KKSF, The Rock, WKRP in Cincinati. [I used to love that show. Dr. Johnny Fever was too cool; Herb, the salesman was too lame, and Loni Anderson was just too (.)(.)] :smileyvery-happy:

Not a bad suggestion for any of the Sansa models! Don’t know if it’s possible, but it’s not a bad idea. :smiley:

Yes.

When I configured the stations I missed that possibility, and I think that it would be  nice to have that option. As feromon said the configuration can be done on the pc, so there’s no problem about creating a virtual keyboard in the Sansa.

It would also be cool if the Sansa team could just read the call signs from the station itself. Song name and artist etc. That would be neat.

Yes it would, but as i know, Sansa Clip does not have an integrated RDS chip.

:cry:

I second and bump that idea. Naming the preset (if RDS is not possible) is essential for me.

I was so surprised to see that this can’t be done on my Sansa Fuze.

Thx

Using a text format for the preset list not only allows setting it up on the PC, but you can download a preset list for some city you may travel to.

I’ll third that.  I had a Nokia phone with built-in FM that had that feature.  A cheap model, at that.

I would like to bump this up. This is so far the only feature I really miss on this otherwise fabulous player. Please, sandisk, implement this in the next firmware!
