I called tech support and they said you can plug in a 16 GB microSD/SDHC card and thus have 24 GB total (!)

The Fuze will work with any MicroSDHC card you put in it, but MicroSDHC will max out at 32GB. So 32 gigs is the highest you'll be able to use on it.

The bigger the card you put in it, the longer the "refresh" cycle takes every time you add or delete anything. As a matter of fact, when you put a loaded card in, the first time you turn it on after that it will do a "refresh".

I'm almost positive the largest it will recognize is a 2 GB microSD (not miniSD). 2 GB is the largest microSD i'm aware of. However... my brother claims he met someone who was using this player with a 5 GB microSD card. I looked all over the internet, and the largest I've seen is 2 GB, so I don't think there are 5 GB cards.

I don't have a SD card with that much memory. I don't see why it would not work. The songs go into the Disk so it doesn't affect the SanDisk Sansa Clip itself.

Sandisk clip + can take a micro SDHC card up to 32 GB - I use a 4 GB and the added space coupled with the fixed space is more than adequate for a half dozen audio books and a couple of hundred mp3 songs. Adding anything over 8 GB would be overkill. Be sure to keep a back up somewhere on your computer of your songs because there is always a chance of device failure in the future and when one of these fails you are going to lose all the data on the fixed internal memory

im really not sure. I just received the sandisk sansa clip. 4gb. Dont know. I had seen the ads of the (plus) but couldnt figure it out either. Probably a way to get an extra 20dollars outta u. Or it could just be a upgraded newer model?? I dunno? I love mine. Kinda tiny. But thats what (i) needed.

You won't be sorry if you choose the Sansa Fuze MP3 player. I have two of them now, the 4 gig and the small 2 gig Sansa Clip. I previously bought iPods for my grown children as gifts and am very familair with their functions, but the Fuze goes way beyond them and the price is well less than half of that of a comparable iPod. Read my review of the Fuze above. I think the audio and video quality is as good as you can expect, but mainly depends on the quality of the digital input from whatever device you take them from. The one thing iPods have over the Sansa products, as well as most other MP3 players, is the abundance of peripheral devices to use with the iPod. You can find all sorts of things that accept the iPod, but usually have to find devices for the Sansa here on Amazon or other on line sites. They exist, you just have to look harder for them. My advice....don't hesitate...get the Sansa Fuze and look here on Amazon for other devices to use with them if you feel the need. I did, and don't regret my choice at all.

Hmm ... well, SanDisk says it "supports" up to 32GB, but "recommends" that you limit card size to 8GB for playback of MP3 and WMA files ... probably to ensure you don't get any drop-outs or glitches during playback. The "recommendation" for playback of these kinds of files on the Clip+ is 16GB. [Update: I got a 16GB card for my Clip Sport, and loaded about 7GB of MP3's onto it. So far, I've had no trouble with either menus or playback.]

Yes, it does. I first bought a 2gb Sansa Clip. I had to update the firmware to get the bookmark feature to work. This is very easy to do. The Sandisk website has an updater you can download. I recently purchased a 4gb and it came with the bookmark feature. If I'm not mistaken, only items placed in the Audiobook or Podcast folder will bookmark and you have a maximum of 10. I use my player only for audiobooks and I subscribe to a bunch of free podcasts through iTunes. I can easily listen to one podcast, pause it and then listen to something else. Then when I come back to the first podcast, I have the option to either resume playback or start from the beginning. The Sansa Clip is very easy to use. I just copy and paste my files into the folders on the player and that's it. It also works with Audible if you get books through them. And the clip itself is very handy. I usually listen when I do the housework. I don't need to have a pocket to use it. I highly recommend this player.

After reading this question, I decided I wanted to know the answer also. I've only been using generic 1 and 2GB micro SD cards without problems. So I grabbed my DSLR and took out the Sandisk Ultra 32GB Class 10 micro SD card inside. I downloaded a bunch of music folders from my PC and copied them to the card. I put the card into the SimplyVibe Portable Speaker and it immediately started playing my music.

Lillie Trotter,Please note that the Sansa Clip+ accepts microSD cad, which is physically much smaller than a regular SD card.The microSD card is used as an extension to the MP3 player's internal 2GB memory. So initially you can use the player without buying an extra microSD card.

You have to buy one. I had a tough time finding a cheap one with a small amount of memory then whenI finally did, I loaded the card with my kids music put in new batteries (because I thought they were dead) and found out that the MP3 player had died and I wasted my money on not only the SD card, but on on MP3 player itself as well :(

Sounds like Sam W J found yet another problem with this MP3 player. Both of mine failed and the USB was not disconnected. Also there was no way to tell if there was a 0 byte file on the player because the computer couldn't see the player.In the meantime I'm using my Creative Zen Nano Plus -- transfering old cassette tapes, Recording FM radio programs, as well as using it for all the features of the Sansa. It's menu is quite different but all in all it's a better player.

I was a bit confused about the SD versus micro SD thing when I ordered also.Turns out, its both. Apparently an SD card can be used as is, if that's what your gadget takes. But if you want the micro SD you just pop it out of the SD.It is actually INSIDE the SD card!

I have a 32 GB flash drive plugged into mine & I control everything from the unit itself. It just has to be set on source "USB". I've also had a 64 GB flash drive in it with NO problem. I've been using it like that for over 2 years. I've never tried it with an mp3 player as I can get everything I need from the flash drive!!!

You don't want it to be mini-usb, that kind is better. Mini-usb ports have little pins in them that can break. I had a Sansa Clip with a mini-usb port and when I pulled it out of the charger, one pin got all bent out of shape and it wouldn't charge. I had to get a new mp3 player.

Hi Tom, This MP3 player also features a microSDHC card slot, so you can expand its memory by up to 32GB with a SanDisk microSD or microSDHC card**Card(s) sold separately. This is from here: http://www.sandisk.com/products/music-video-players/clip-zip/

in the specifications, it says it can support USB and SD Card (Up to 32 GB size). I don't know if that is a total for both connected at once or 32 GB for USB and 32 GB for SD card. I assume its the latter but i use smaller capacity cards like 4 GB and 8 GB that way because there is no scroll list and i can find individual music folders easier on smaller capacity cards. There is a model that costs about 10 dollars more that has a scroll list which would be easier to find folders on larger capacity cards and drives. I have been using this music everyday in my car for nearly a year and love it to death!!
