Unknown Artist on every song?

I’m dragging and dropping mp3s into my sd card attached to the Clip +. Every song is displaying an unknown artist on the player.

I know these songs are tagged correctly. What could be going wrong? Thanks.

Doesn’t sound like they are. Sansa players are very picky about what tag formats they will read and which ones they won’t. The preference (or requirement if you want to look at it that way) is ID3v2.3-ISO-8859-1. Use a good dedicated tag-editor like MP3Tag to check and/or change them. Change the default Write Setting in the Tools | Options menu to the format above, open your files in the program and just hit the SAVE icon. The tags will be saved in the new format.
