Hi Dave

 

Its completely different. Try dragging a music file onto the external memory card using nothing but Windows Explorer and see what happens. The file name itself gets changed, the playback shows only the ID3 tag, podcasts show up in audiobooks, theres no elapsed time on the playback…

The Clip+ and Clip Zip work the same in this regard.   My guess is that you set your old player to MSC mode (which does not rename the files on the player) and your new player to MTP mode (which does rename them).
