Hello,

I have a sansa clip player and just purchased a Gomatic MP3 Player adapter to use the player in the car.  Well, i can’t get the player to play.  THe adapter seems to work but the player is not playing any music. 

Does anyone have any suggestions? Does the player need to have the songs put onto it under a certain format?  If so, can you please give me details on these settings?

Please advise.

THank you in advance!

There’s no special file format for using an car adaptor. MP3’s or WMA’s are fine. You may have to set the USB mode of the player to MSC though. Check the manual or the manufacturer of the device’s website for any FAQ’s or troubleshooting tips.

Well, the adapter isn’t the issue.  It’s the player…i need to know if i should have put the songs ON the player using MSC, or MTP, just details like that.  If I need to format the player and start over, etc.

Thanks.

Thanks for this information.

I actually tried the player using MSC mode AND MTP mode…neither work.  All I hear is a blank sound with a low pitch pulse sound when the player is connected, even though the player itself is playing the songs.  It’s just not coming through the stereo of the car.

Were your songs transferred to the player in MTP mode? I would format (provided you have other copies of the files on your computer or somewhere) and re-load a few in MSC mode, See if they play now. If so, go ahead and load’er up.

Thank you, i actually formatted the device and DID put evetrything onto it in MSC mode.

I plugged it back into the adapter and tried in teh car, and actually found that it works when the plug isn’t pushed all the way in! but as soon as it moves, the music stops cmoing through the car speakers!  SO…must be a fault adapter.  Because headphones work fine on the player and htey are plugged into that same hole.

I had the same problem.  It turns out that you can’t plug in both the charging cord and the playing cord.  If you unplug the charging cord, you can play music.

Kind of stupid design, but I lived with it … for four days.  Then the Gomatic just stopped playing in mid song.  The display went out and the unit never came on again.

What a piece of junk.
