If all MP3 players on the market have to use editing software why doesn’t Sandisk provide it with their products so their won’t be all these issues? I shouldn’t have to read for hours to find a fix for a supported format. On the Clip Sport box it lists all the supported formats and it should also say a software program not provided must be installed for the formats listed to work. They aren’t really supported if they need an outside software program to make it work…
Is there not a mp3 by sandisk that I don’t have to edit tags? Will the Clip Plus work the way my M240 did? I never had to do that with my m240’s. They transferred perfectly every time to my player and each book was in its own folder making it easy to delete each book when I’m finished. What if I did a drag & drop with the TCNANDO software program from my M240 and copied it onto my Clip Sport? would TCNANDO work on the Clip Sport?
sandisk does not dictate how content providers tag (or lack there of) their content. This is not up to the MP3 player manufacturer. this is a sole decision made by the content provider.
All MP3 player will sort one of 2 ways.
1. By ID3 tag. This requires all the info be present in the ID3 tag. If not all will show under an unknown artist because the data simply is not ther to sort by
2. By file name. This only sorts by file name. this type of sorting cannot be sorted by Artist, auther, track, etc.
If you want to brows the folder content simply use the Folder option in the main menu. This will bypass the ID3 tag sorting and show you the file table of on the Sport.
1- I read on here where people were having issues with the last part of a chapter being left off of long chapters. Is that fixed?
this occurs with Audible.com books in the Audible Enhanced Audio file format. Sandisk recomends using Format 4 for Audible content
2- Someone else posted that if there were more than X many chapters the last chapters won’t play. Will I be limited to how many chapters a book can have or is that fixed? At the Metropolitan Library I have to select download before I know how many chapters a book has.
I am not aware of any limitation with the number of chapters for MP3 file format audibooks.
