Yes, I just tested and the Clip is slower than the computer when I play the same song on the Clip and the computer. It gets out of sync in about 5 seconds.
So yes, this problem should be fixed… and I agree it is unacceptable if it’s been known for a long time. Still, it’s imperceptible by the vast majority of people.
Why not transcode to 48000 in the meantime? Seems like a decent workaround and one that I probably will do because I’m now certain that my lackluster gym workouts can be directly traced back to this slowed down music.

For me there are few problems related to transcodeing to 48kHz
First, there is a reduction in sound quality caused by ripping a CD at 48 instead of it’s native 44.1 kHz sample rate.
Second, There is a reduction in sound quality caused by reencodeing Mp3 to Mp3 from 44.1 to 48 kHz songs for which you no longer have original CDs.
Lastly, it would take an enormous effort to reencode my entire music collection and require another large hard drive to store the reduced quality transcoded Mp3s.
