Now uninstall the updater. There will probably be no more firmware updates for the Clip+. if you want more settings, much better on the go playlists, a much better equilizer, and crossfeed, there is the the free alternative firmware(operating system for the player) Rockbox. In case you don’t know what crossfeed is, it mixes some of the alternative channel with a slight delay, making headphone listening much more like speaker listening, where each ear hears both music channels. This is adjustable, or can be turned off. The downsides to Rockbox is that it doesn’t support protected files, and it might permanently impair the player’s ability to play some protected files.
Rockbox is installed as a dual boot OS, so the original Sandisk firmware(OS) is still available, and can be booted into by holding down the left button on startup of a Rockboxed Clip+. Rockbox also gives you choices to customize the screen. If you are curious about Rockbox, check out the Rockbox manual for the Clip+. My Clip+ and Clip Zip have been Rockboxed. Rockbox is great for those who listen to podcasts, as it has variable speed playback with pitch correction. This is good for listening to slow speakers at around 1.4x or 1.5x the normal speed.
Rockbox for the Clip+ has 110 themes, or 110 choices for how and what is displayed on the screen.
