The SanDisk instructions for manually installing Clip Jam firmware do not include a picture of the player's root directory.

Maybe this picture of the Clip Sport root directory will provide sufficient guidance for you?

Is there a firmware revision for the Clip Jam that disables the FM Radio like there are for older devices as mentioned here:

Here is an easy way to stop the player from displaying the Radio mode.
