Sansa Clip+ id3v2.3 artist field only showing 31 characters

The tag should scroll across if you give it a chance. It’s possible there is a 32-character limit–that is a lot of characters for an artist name. 

Try mp3tag tagging software. Download the current version’s setup.exe file, not any other junkware that might appear on your screen.

When installing let it add itself to context menus so you can right-click and album folder and open it with mp3tag. Under Tools/Options/Tags/Mpeg choose ID3v2.3 ISO-8859-1. Just highlight your current tags and Save them and they’ll be fixed. Or with the tracks in playing order from top to bottom, use the Auto-Numbering Wizard with leading zeroes, which makes the track numbers 01, 02, etc. Otherwise, 1, 11,12, etc. will play before 2. 

The Sansas are a little too picky about tags. ID3v2.3 is preferred. ID3v2.2 usually works. ID3v2.4 is problematical.
