Ok, so I’ve udpated the new .20 firmware. Thanks Sandisk for providing such great after-sale support for such a low-cost device!
Now I’ve got a strange message (bug?). All of my music is DRM-free, copied using MSC from a linux box. However, now if I delete a song as it’s playing, the next song in the list comes up paused, as I would expect, but when I hit play, I get:
Synchronize to continue your music subscription
It goes away in a few seconds and puts me back to the paused screen, but no matter how my times I hit play it still repeats the message. It’s not actually a major issue because I can just go back to the music list, select the song manually and it plays fine.
Any idea what that’s about? It’s a minor oddity at best, but I thought I’d report it.
Very interesting! I updated the firmware on two Clips (of four) from .18-.20 this morning. My Clip is running happily, but my wife just called with a “synchronize to continue subscription” problem, just like yours.
The firmware ID is correct on the device.
I told my wife to use the Clip’s format function (settings menu), and she’s reloading the Rhapsody files. I think this is the hot ticket.
Note, my daughter’s Clip was “dead as Julius Caesar” when I plugged it in…she left the device on.
I’ll update everyone as soon as she calls back.
The new functions of the firmware update are great on my personal Clip; those of you expressing issues with the volume (FM) will be happy with the new volume steps…thanks sansafix!

Update 1306: The format procedure was successful!

I’ve listened to my clip for several hours today and it’s never given me the message unless i delete a song. Then it gives me the message every time. But like I said - jump back to the track listing a select a song manually and everything works great. So all in all, so far it’s just a minor annoyance and easily worked around. Not a show-stopper bug by a mile.
By the way, all in all I think this is a great update. Thanks again to SanDisk for taking care of its customers like this. Not too common these days…
