Sansa clip user manual is online at Sansa clip.com and is easy to read and follow. You can also download the manual to your Sansa for future reference. The onlne help forum is quite helpful too.

The proper way to remove the SD card is to power the device down, and then press on the SD card to make it pop out. never place the SD card back in to the device or take it out while its powered on.

I haven't had to remove the card I added to it yet, and I'm not sure where my son kept it or I'd tell you how. Maybe try Googling it? Most of the time you simply push it with your fingernail and it ejects. As far as uploading songs (audiobooks) to it, I used the card reader that came with the card, inserted it into my computer and click and dragged the songs and books he wanted on it. I would think for a instruction booklet or help, Google is where I'd go or sandisk.com. Hope that helps.

I purchased the Sansa e280 and am attempting to load Audible books. Media Player wasn't even recognizing the player until I changed to format of the player. I am stuck however as to what to do next.

Yes, I use my shuffle only for audiobooks which I get from the library or Audible.com. First, Connect Shuffle. Then, 1) download book to OverDrive Media Console. 2) Open Finder, book chapters should appear in Finder. 3) Open iTunes: click on File on task bar; click/open "Add to Library" in drop down dialog box. 4) Go back to Finder and highlight book/chapters in Finder. 5)drag chapters to music under devices in "Add to Library" dialog box. 6) Click "open" at bottom of screen. 7) Click "sync" at bottom of screen. Hope this helps. I think I got the steps in order. Seems confusing at first, but after you do it a few times it's easy. Enjoy listening.

Unless there has been an update, it will only recognize up to 32gb. If you are not using extremely large files there is no need for it. The player will only "see" up to 8000 files. It Has a cap of 4000 mp3 or audio files and 4000 other files. I have heard of people "hacking" the device to remove the file limits, but I'm not that good with computers and such and didn't want to risk damaging mine. I have a little over 2000 mp3s on mine and it has taken up about 16gb. I have heard of some people having luck with larger sd cards but some do not, it's hit and miss depending on what software version it has I guess. I have a 32gb for mine but have never used it.

Sorry I never put an SD card in mine. Only way I can think of is to take the SD out and put it into an card reader. Or keep looking in the menu.

I don't know. I use it for audiobooks and I delete them when I have listened to them. Ann TT

Same problem. Had 2 Sansa Clips (1 GB) and no sound when headphone jack fully inserted. Had to be juggled repeatedly, kept falling out when in position to create sound. Sent both back. Got money back from Proton, but AM Sales pretends they never received the product back. Riiight. Ordered Sansa Clip Plus from Sandisk, and it's better than the other two, but still has places where it just doesn't give sound.

I'm glad you warned me. I notice there are firmware upgrades on their site. But why would I have to upgrade a brand new player? One of them said it was necessary to listen to audible books? I hope not. I may very well get back to you with questions. Thank you again!

But how do you go about putting videos onto your card. Can you just click and drag stuff out of your itunes library and drop them off in the Removable Disk "g" folder? If not please tell me in detail!

I haven't had any problems with podcast and audiobook files, many audiobooks, especially ones from libraries have several files that are numbered. I don't have any music on the Clip Sport. There is an update for the firmware, if you buy this player make sure you update, from what I understand they took care of glitches with song orders, etc. The only thing I don't like about this player is that it won't play wma files that have drm protection. Not sure it'll post but here is the address for instruction and the file for the Sport update: http://forums.sandisk.com/t5/Sansa-Clip-Zip/Sansa-Clip-Zip-Firmware-01-01-20/td-p/270703

On my older Sandisk Sansa Clip+ offering, Under the "Music" Screen my downloaded songs shows as one list in the "play all" and "songs" menu selection. There is a folder browser screen also, which the internal and external memory is browsable to. The Sansa Clip Zip also works like this, I would hope the newest version the Clip Sport works similarly. there are adobe reader version of the user guilds at sandisk.com .

I have never used the Audiobook. For my mp3 downloads I had to get a converter from CNET. I just looked, there are two Audio book converters based on category selection. I'm not sure this will help but I hope it does. Always scan what you download first.

I know that you can put the music into folders but I did not do that. I would just dump the mp3 files on to the card and use it that way.

Christopher, There was no snide, since I am not the seller, but a buyer! I´m using a 32gb mini sdcard that I loaded music to before placing it into the Sansa device that I purchased online from Amazon. I don´t on a Radio slot card, and I´m sorry for your confusion. Peace!

The Clip Zip has a color oled screen that is slightly larger than the monochrome screen on the Clip+. So the clip zip can display album/audiobook cover art while playing. The Clip Zip can play aac files. I don't think the Clip+ can work with aac. The Clip Zip also has a sports timer function that isn't available on the Clip +. The ClipZip does not show information about track time for music as the Clip+ did. The Clip Zip does show time remaining for audiobook and podcast files. The Clip Zip is supposed to have slightly better battery life but I have not paid close attention to play time, so I cannot confirm that.

I use my mp3 exclusively for audiobooks. I'm a real junkie and listen nonstop all day when I'm not at work. The first one I bought was a Zen V. It had issues, but improved when Creative came out with new firmware. After using it for a year, the battery would no longer hold a charge. There was no way to replace the battery. So I decided to look for a player with a user-replaceable battery and bought a Zen Micro. It worked fine for a few weeks, then it broke and Creative said they could not repair it. I decided the battery was more of an issue than the bookmarking, so I bought a Sansa e250 v2. I've had it for about a month and it's great. Better than either of the Creative players. But it doesn't have bookmarking. Rockbox wizards are working on a new version that will work with the Sansa e250v2, so I'm hoping that will give it bookmarking capability. The resume playing works really well with the Sansa (unlike with the 2 creative players). Since I only listen to one book at a time and don't listen to music, the only time bookmarking is really an issue is when I transfer or delete books when the player is connected to my PC. (I have a Gomadic wall charger to recharge the battery at night.) I'm really not sure about the full time stamping. My library changed from netLibrary to Overdrive. Overdrive breaks audiobooks into multiple files instead of having one really large file like NetLibrary, so that hasn't been an issue. In 2006 a survey showed that 25% of the adult US population listens to audiobooks. It's really stupid that mp3 manufacturers continue to ignore our needs when the technology and software already exists to provide every player with full time stamping and bookmarking. If just one of them would come out with a reliable player with a user-replaceable battery and those features, they would probably rival iPOD overnight. If Sansa would respond with a firmware update to provide those features, the e200 series could be that player. Instead, they foolishly continue to ignore the pleas of audiobook listeners.

SanDisk Sansa Clip+ 2 GB MP3 Player (Black) I am trying to help my daughter with purchase of a memory card she feels she needs for a mp3 she has purchased on Amazon from CrazyonDigital. Would a memory card be automatically included with the mp3 or does she even need one?
