Just bought a Clip+ and updated to FW 1.02.15, USB en MSC mode, computer is Linux.Tags have been cleaned up by Mp3Tag 2.46a.
I copied *.ogg files and drop the files in the MUSIC folder with the following structure:
\MUSIC\MyCollection\CD1\MySong1.ogg
There are plenty of weird issues. Mostly “Refreshing your media” got stuck and hung up the device. I went to a time consuming process of powering off (press 15+ seconds) then move the *.ogg file around (reduce the number of parent folders, removing all *.ogg except a dozen ones, etc.). At best I could get 20 *.ogg regcognized and all played OK once. On another try, the device displayed the song info but got stuck on pause and refused to play the song.
As soon as I connect/disconnect the device another time (for example to add ONE mp3 file), the “Refreshing your media” kicked in again and the hang up cycle resumes. The only way to fix is to remove all the ogg files. I guess the issue is the parsing of the ogg tags.
In conclusion, ogg support is problematic ! Can anyone confirm?
Are you sure your headphones are plugged in all the way? The socket can be very tight to begin with and can require an extra push.
Otherwise, it sounds like something is wrong with your player–what you report is not the norm. You could exchange it for a replacement or contact SanDisk as to the issue. Unless this is all due to the particular radio station you are listening to–have you tried others? And have you extended the headphone cord, which acts as the antenna? Perhaps this is a reception issue.
I have an issue with the Sansa Clip which I just received as a gift . The FM radio reception is not good. On stations I normally receive well, using Sansa Clip FM radio the station does not come in clearly . I checked that I have latest firmware . I took it back to Best Buy to exchange it but I still have the same problem. Any suggestions?

Note that your earphone cord doubles as the FM radio antenna. If it’s coiled up, it won’t be able to receive a strong signal.

In addition, check that the headphone plug is fully inserted into the player. The jack can be quite tight when new, so it may require more force than you expect to fully seat the plug.
Yes, thanks for the reply… I’m aware that the headphone is usually used as the antenna so I tried another that was used on another radio and Im sure that its plugged in all the way but no change. I was hoping someone has had similar issues.
Updated from 01.01.05P to this one. So far no problems. Have 4 Gb with 8 Gb mem.
Radio: deleted all presets and let it scan again. I set the FM to World region instead of USA. My region is Europe but use North America for the volume boost. I must say that the receiver is amazing. Normally I could not listen to the radio when I sad down near my computer. That was a horrible noise and distortion. No influence of the computer system clock anymore. Very amazing!
I use this device for more than a year. I’m happy with it.

Glad to hear it, although you seem to be in the minority as far as lovers of the FM Radio on the Clip+ goes. Most everyone else is complaining about the reception (or lack of it) when compared to the previous (original) Clip.
I’m getting a 0-byte file when I try to get the manual-install version of the 01.02.15 firmware. Can anyone at Sansa see if there is some issue with it? Thanks!
I am a new user of this tiny powerful MP3 player. Until now I always used my cellphone to listening radio and MP3s.
FM reception is beyond comparison with my cell phone. It was impossible to comfortably listen radio during my journey to work. With the Clip+, it works fine!
I do not have the habit to write reviews, but I think I will for the Clip+.
