Has a fix to this problem been discovered?
I have a brand new clip sport + I bought last week, and am running into the same issue:
Several podcases downloaded over the last few days (The Moth and Fresh Air so far) play betwen 20 and 40 seconds, then the ‘File format not supported’ message appears.
-
the files are mp3, 128kbps, loaded onto the internal memory.
-
As I said it’s brand new, so the firmware is up to date, but I reinstalled v. 2.02 anyhow
-
I ran CHKDSK /R /X on the internal memory.
-
the files aren’t particularly big, 20-40 meg.
-
the files are NOT corrupted - I can connect the device to my computer and play the mp3 from the device on my computer just fine.
I’m REALLY annoyed by this - apparently this problem goes back to 2014? And the only “solution” offered is to re-encode downloaded podcasts? I love these little devices, I use them every day - this is my 3rd or 4th one. The older versions of the Clips never needed these files to be re-encoded or any crazy workarounds, I can’t remember ever having this problem with any mp3s, whether downloaded or ripped.
