Sansa Clip Zip Firmware 01.01.21

Not that I like it, but I seem to recall, from long ago, that SanDisk explained that it can’t guarantee the RDS feature (it almost sounded like this was a beta-like feature, despite what the product info. had indicated).  Perhaps I’m mis-recalling this, however–it was from when the Zip first came out, years ago.

Also, where are you located?  It has seemed, over time, that U.S. users have had better luck with this feature than users outside the U.S.

Again, not that this is any solace to you.
