Renaming Podcast files

MP3 players Sansa Clip | Clip+
1

I’ve downloaded several Podcasts (mp3’s) of Fresh Air interviews with Terry Gross. They are all named with just numbers, so I renamed them in my computer in order to know who the interview was with. When I copied these podcasts to my Sansa Clip (2GB) the file names I gave them disappear, and instead, the interviews appear on the Sansa as the original numbers. I can’t figure out why the Sansa doesn’t read the new file names that I gave these Podcasts.

Thanks,

Bill

Milkerman, I can’t say for certain, but at least on my earlier M240 if all tag fields were missing files would be stored in the unknown folder with the windows filenames, I can’t recall in what order they were displayed.

Obviously it’s easy enough to default to ‘unknown’ for all blank album tag fields, but the files themselves would have to default to some unique identifier and I suppose the filename is as good as any.

My comments apply to the music folder. I haven’t used podcasts, but voice recording is different and it appears you can’t change those filenames in the podcast directory, even by re-tagging. You can tag them and stick them in the music directory.

I had a special instance of this. I wanted to record a limited number of contact information files but I had to tag and create a special folder under music to readily get to them using meaningful names.
