I had some issues dragging & dropping files. First I had many ghost files like ._abc.mp3, I managed to get rif of them using KopyMac to transfer files.
Now, I am still left with this problem that a few tracks, even though they are properly tagged in iTunes they still get classified as “Unknown” Album or Artist. First I thought that this was an ID3 tagging issue so I switched from v2.2 to v2.3 to v2.4 but that did not resolve the isssue. Currently I have 493 songs on the Clip and 2 show up as Unknown Artist and 14 show up as Unknown Album. Iniitally I thought that I could just move them into their correct folders on the Clip using the Mac Finder but as it turns out they are already in their right places!?
Yes, I suspected that editing track info in iTunes is probably not the best/most compatible for the Clip. Unfortunately I am still on OSX10.4 and the MP3Tag workaround you are linking to is only workable from OSX10.5. There are many Mac-native ID3 tagging apps out there…if someone has a good recommendation which will work for Sansa players pls let me know.
I think I also read somewhere that one can edit tag info directly on the Clip or was that only possible on some other Sansa players as I can’t see anything like this in the Clip’s menu?
