Sansa clip ++ freezes when inserting sd card

MP3 players Sansa Clip | Clip+
1

Hi

I bought an sd card to give my clip++ a bit more space as it only has 4 gigs. I bought an 8gig PNY micro sd. When I insert it in my clip++ and turn it on, it displays the logo, freezes on there for a while - then if I wait a few minutes it says “refershing media” gets about 10% of the way then just freezes until I hard reset the device.

Could anyone offer any suggestions please?

Thanks

depending on how many files are on the card it may take quite a while to refresh the database 5+ mins so make sure you are not resetting it before it finishes

Sorry I should have mentioned I’m just putting an empty card into the player… I took it out straight from the packaging and haven’t done anything with it yet.

I’m having a similar problem. I have the Sansa Clip+ 2GB. I purchased a 2 GB PNY MicroSD card that seems to work just fine when I connect it directly to my XP and Vista PCs but seems invisible to both the PCs and the Clip+ when installed in the player. It shows up as " Drive H:" in My Computer but asks for media on both machines when in the player. I thought it might be some DRM thing so I installed the software that came with the player(big mistake, guess I’m gonna have to rip my CDs again) to no avail. Anyway, short of taking the player or card back, I’m at a loss. HELP!

You are inserting the card when the player if off _ then _ turning it on, aren’t you?
