Creating Playlists

Hi.  Thank you for trying to help me out.  When my clip is in MSC mode it shows the music folder as being empty, so I cannot access any of my mp3 files in MSC mode.

 

That’s because your files were loaded in MTP mode (or Auto Defect which is the same thing in most cases).

I noticed in the clip’s user manual that MSC is a Mac compatibility mode, so I thought I’d throw out here that I run Windows Vista…in case that makes a difference in what’s going wrong.

 

MSC is not exclusively a Mac compatibility mode, but the only mode in which you can use a Mac with it. MSC allows your computer to see your player as any other drive, where MTP mode makes it be recognized as a musical device which must be ‘managed’, something Macs will only do with i-thingamabobs & iTunes.

For most people, MSC is the easiest and preferred connection method. MTP can be a royal pain at times.
