The sport does not recognize album names over 30 characters. I renamed the album with by selecting all the tracks on the album, right clicking, choose properties, and change the album name to something shorter - it now plays fine. I also updated firmware to 1.22

I am considering purchasing a Sandisk Sansa Sport 8gb. However, whether you’re listening to a Paganini concerto or a Beatles album, song order is highly significant, and almost never, if ever, is supposed to go alphabetically. Unless of course, you’re on crack or act like it. So, I have to know beforehand whether the issue with playlist song order was fixed for these devices. Would someone here be so kind as to inform me about the status of the song order problem? Has there been a fix?
For starters, use Win Explorer to copy one specific album of files into one specific subfolder inside the MUSIC folder on your Clip Sport (or the micro SD card)

Given that the ID3 tag has been a completely standard thing since at least 1996 I find it incredulous that I’ve bought an Mp3 player that can’t actually deal with them properly.
Retagging all of our track names with 2 digit prefixes is a completely insane fix. Sandisk, please get your finger out and fix the apalling software for this player as soon as possible.
It feels like a product that’s someone travelled into the future from the crappy early 2000s.
Prior to my recent purchase of a SanDisk Clip Sport, I enjoyed using a few iPod & iPad devices from Apple along with music file management with iTunes software. Even now, I continue to use iTunes to rip my CD collection into mp3 files for playback on my Clip Sport.
I always observed that iTunes automatically creates 2-digit prefixes to CD music filenames during the “ripping” process. These 2 digit prefix filenames are perfectly compatible with the FOLDER playback method of Clip Sport and Clip Jam.
Unfortunately, iTunes uses 1-digit track numbers in the ID3 tags for tracks 1-9 during the CD ripping process. The Clip Sport and Clip Jam will confuse the play order of music files using MUSIC playback method for 1-digit track numbers. One easy fix for this confusing behavior is to create 2-digit track numbers in the ID3 tags for music files 1- 9 (01, 02, 03, etc).
Once I decided I really enjoy using my cute little Clip Sport(s), using MUSIC playback mode, I decided I could easily resolve this minor nuisance using free mp3tag software. This software includes a command to change 1-digit track numbers to 2-digit numbers. Here is a link to the latest version (Jan. 2016).
So since buying this product a week ago I’ve basically taken up a 2nd job of attempting to tag and retag things and it still just seems to do what it likes.
Having just double checked a bunch of artist and album names in tags (id3 v1 and 2) using kid3 on OSx (I’ve also used iTunes for retagging with no dice) and guess what, still all over the place, one song in it’s own ‘folder’ when browsing, the rest in a different folder but out of order.
There is categorically no way that I will ever recommend this piece of trash, I’d probably advise people just to use their phones, or maybe listen out the window to see if any passing cars are playing something they like as you’ve as good a chance of hearing it there than trying to navigate the Clip Sport.
I also love the clunky interface and the way that every single time I try to change the volume, it asks me if I’m sure that I want to do it.
