My Clip+ has a “Play Previous” or “Resume” feature that doesn’t seem to be present on the Clip Sport. So, if I was listening to music, and then decided to listen to music again, I was given the option to resume listening from the same place in the playlist which I had been before I switched over to the radio - and of course the playlist would continue to play.
The Clip Sport seems to lack this feature. Or am I just somehow overlooking it?
You are not overlooking anything. The behavior is real.
It remembered the exact track and position even after switching to the radio or powering off, then asked whether to resume.
The Clip Sport does not have this feature. When you leave Music mode, it stops the playlist state. Returning to Music starts from the beginning of the playlist or library.
SanDisk removed this functionality in the Clip Sport firmware, just to simplify software and reduce memory usage. There is no setting or workaround to enable it.
