Sansa Clip+ Firmware Update 01.02.16

It seems to me that whatever SanDisk can do to make things easier for Apple/Mac/iTunes users only helps SanDisk get them as customers, and increase sales.  Having aac capability would be part of that. 

 

There is a real opening for the Clips, over the limited Shuffle and those who don’t need or want the video of the Nano.  Making it easy for users of those players would help. 

The newest Nano doesn’t do video.:wink:

It’d be nice if Playing from the Folder View would skip the Mac “Dot files” instead of trying to play them and repeating the whole folder because of them. I had the same problem with Fuze. I know there’s and option to delete the Dot Files before unmounting the clip+ and there even exist some applescripts that semi-automate this, but it’s be nice Sansa’s players would just skip these files.


I’m not sure this issue is unique to just Sansa mp3 players. I wouldn’t be surprised if all non-pod players have this issue.

Indeed, the Cowon players have problems when paired with Mac computers also.

when it says to make sure battery power is “>50%” what does that mean? at least 50%? exactly? less than?

>If you have to constantly format the player because of a recurring “Not enough space” error message, then you have one or more corrupted files on the device that’s causing it. Firmware isn’t going to fix this; you have to. Treat the disease, not the symptoms.

Mine’s brand new and I still get this message, even before I out anything on it.  What corrupted file should I be looking for then?

If it’s brand new with nothing added to it yet and doing this, personally I’d beat feet to return it. You paid for a working product. You deserve a working product. You didn’t get a working product. Return it and get another one.

Or if you’d rather play around with it (and hope nothing else goes wrong with it later when it’s too late), you could try re-installing/updating the firmware. The download link and instructions are in the 1st post of this thread.

Im going to buy the clip+ and want to use few languages for the mp3 names…and see them correctly.

Thanks

Please start your own thread (New Message). Your question is

Smiley

for this one.

Jeff is probably long gone, but the answer to his message would have saved me a lot of back-and-forth with Support. It turns out that if you put the player in MSC mode before connecting it to the PC, you can load the clppa.bin firmware update file to the root directory with no problems, and the update proceeds normally when you disconnect.

p.s. Do Not mess with the folders pre-loaded onto the Clip+, even if you don’t use them and would rather they were off the menu list…

Is there a diff between F and P Rev.
P should be newer?

I think P should be newer? I got P rev. from the file download. I installed it manualy

It’s the same firmware, just for different geographical regions.

F = Europe w/FM

P = Pacific (Asia)

A = America

Is it important?
and also If I want to change form P to E how to to this?
reinstall the firmware?

I reinstalled and used Eurpe now it say Rev F…

Thanks

See the (grey) sticky thread at the top of the page entitled:

No More High Setting In Music Volume?

have they solved the battery indicator?

Insted of turning off chaging, the unit will over charge, and the indicator restarts…

The unit looks at the indicator, and see’s 10% and shuts down when it THINKS its almost discharged.

You can leave it plugged in and the Battery indicator just goes up to 100% then resets to 0% and shows it recharging…over and over.

Fun isnt it?

Um, neither one of mine have ever done that…

When plugged in the indicator just runs up the scale…over and over…  Just showing its charging…

I unplug it to check its levels…

Some times I leave in plugged into the computer for an extended time, 6+ hours…  even over nite…

And upon disconnecting, its not fully charged.  Which is weird.

If I watch it closly and disconnect it at 100%, its fine, and I can even use it a few days later, If Im not using it…
