Hi everyone ,

am at a bit of a loss

I got a 64gb sdxc card  and formated it as fat32.

have put it in the clip+ but it cannot see the files on the device say that sd is 0 meg and drive is empty.

but this is the odd thing i put in the clip+ via usb and i can see the files on the drive on my pc and see if listed as fat 32

any help would be much apricated I have latest firmware and even tried rockbox

many thanks

Mat

What software did you use to re-format the card? Maybe you should try another.

Could it be that the Clip+ doesn’t support 64gb cards?

Assuming that it does, perhaps you could try deleting the file/files that the Clip+ uses as a database. I don’t have a Clip+ myself, but if it’s anything like the Fuze, perhaps the name of this file is “MTABLE.SYS”. It couldn’t hurt, since the file will automatically be rebuilt from scratch.

It doesn’t in its native exFAT (SDXC) format, but it will if re-formated to FAT32 (SDHC). Many have successfully done it and are enjoying the extra memory space. But it seems to depend on what formatting software you use; some will convert it properly while others won’t. Gui Format is one I’ve heard works well for this.

Some people have reported issues using (or, better said, trying to use) a Class 10 card in ths Clips.  At this point, safest to buy a Class 4 card for the Clip (or be able to return/exchange a Class 10 card, if it doesn’t work).
