This took a ridiculous amount of trial and error and looking for clues in this forum, but I finally managed to sync playlists onto my Clip Zip’s sdhc card using Media Monkey. This is what worked for me – I make no promises that it will work for anyone else.
-
First, make sure you are able to sync to your card at all. I had to try three different cards before I found one that worked with my device. Fortunately, my Sansa Fuze and my phone were less picky, so I had different cards to try. The one that worked was a Sandisk 16GB Micro SDHC, Class 2. If you can’t even sync music, the problem may be your card.
-
Downgrade your firmware to version clipzip01.01.12. I could not get it to work with the current version.
-
Open Media Monkey. (The basic version is free.)
-
Connect your device. The device should show up in the tree in the left-hand column of the page. The device and card will be listed as two separate devices. Click on the listing for the card.
-
Media Monkey should take you to a Summary page. In at the top of the center cection of the screen, click the “Auto-Sync list” and select the playlists you want to sync.
-
Under options, click “Playlists”.
-
Check box next to “Sync playlists.”
-
Under “Generate device Playlists for”, click “Library Playlists.”
-
Under Destination directory, enter “Music\Playlists”. (No quotation marks.)
-
Check box next to “Force relative paths.” Leave other boxes (e.g., “use unicode …”, “use extended M3U”, “Use Linux folder separator”) unchecked.
-
Click “Apply” to save your changes.
-
Right-click on the device and select “Auto-sync” to start syncing.
Unfortunately, playlists that were more than 1,000 songs were cut off at the 1000th song, but otherwise, it worked great!
I hope this helps somebody out there.
