Can I transfer audiobooks to this device? And, can you erase material? Thank you.

I don't know why not. This is a click-and-drag kind of deal, so I can imagine you could load whatever you like. I have other mp3 players which I am happy with, but this one makes it easy to delete/add selectively, rather than adding a whole playlist at a time. You should have no trouble with your books and 4g for this price is a great deal. Hope this helps.

Yes, but depending on the memory of your device you might not be able to fit all the chapters. I would suggest 8 or even 16 gig. Really good player and great price, I would just get some good head phones or use it with an auxiliary cable connected to an audio device.

According to Wikipedia, some audio books are either MP3 or WMA format, so yes, this player can play those specific format audiobooks. However, I am not sure if there's any copy protection that might prohibit it (WMA possible, MP3 I doubt it).Yes, you can erase the material afterwards. The device appears as an external drive (when plugged into your computer), so you can delete files from it just like you delete files from your hard drive on your PC.NOTE: Never format this device! You can actually erase the program that makes it run, turning it into a very nice paper weight (speaking from experience).

Yes, you can....Attach a USB cable to your Coby MP301-4GB player and let your computer bring your system up on the screen. Select the item you want to add or erase (MUSIC OR AUDIOBOOKS).... Very easy to do...

Yes, you can! I download audio books from the library using the Overdrive platform and it recognizes the player. It actually works really well for books (but not for playlists).

Thru tips learned here, I finally figured out the "secret." Hours of frustrating reading and trial runs later: WMA Audiobooks are not compatible with the Micro SD -- MP3 format only -- transferring from Overdrive is done outside of the Sansa Clip, direct to the Micro card -- insert the Micro (in its carrying sleeve) into the computer slot; when it is recognized by Overdrive, transfer as usual, listen by inserting the Micro into the Sansa Clip. MP3 format is a drag -- takes twice as much space as WMA, but seems to be the only game in town.

I made one, just like a subfolder on a PC. It comes up, not by my design, under the Music category. I think Sandisk recommends use of "Podcasts" for audiobooks.

I know sansa supports audio books, not sure which format though. If you install rockbox, I believe it supports many formats. Will make your battery last considerably longer. It is noticable

That's why I bought it, for old talking books like stuff. It did load them to audacity on my computer. We will see if some one will help me get them out!!!

I think if want to download audible files to it, you'll just have to convert it to MP3. Hope this helps!

Hi Jayne, I have not used for audio books but, I have downloaded audio lectures and bible studies, so I would think there would be no problemKathy

I have a 1gb card and i'm still limited by the 3min voice memo. If there is a way around it which I dont think there is I havn't figured it out. I don't think you can transfer the memo's digitally to your pc either. However you can using a microphone and holding it up to the ear peice

I haven't had any problems. When you get ready to transfer your Overdrive book to your player, there should be a drop down menu indicating where you want the book to be. Just make sure it says Sansa Fuze External uSD card. The audiobook will actually be placed into a music folder, so once you're done transferring the files, just move it into the audiobooks folder on your memory card.

This is perfect for audiobooks. Always get the largest GB you can afford or just buy the 4 GB and purchase up to a 32 GB micro SD memory card for it. You'll be amazed how many books you can store on it. I usually download mine from our local public library.

I simply connected the device to an USB port on front of my computer, wait for 30 seconds and the device is assigned the next Disc letter. I then go to my computer icon, click on it and go to the place music files or audio books are stored, select desired ones and copy them to device. I have done this both under Vista and Windows 7 operating system.

The best answer I have is to make sure the audio files are in the proper format for your storage card. If they arr make sure they actually play on th computer, if thry do not play on the computer obviously they wont play on the device. Otherwise most likely the storage card isnt a match.

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 also updated my firmware, thanks for the information. I get books thru OverDrive media from the local library. These automatically download into the music folder. How can I get them to download into the audiobooks folder? I've tried moving the folders on the computer and it shows that they have been moved to audiobook folder, but when I disconnect the clip, the audiobook folder is empty and the audiobooks are still in the music folder. Thanks for any help. I have Windows Vista, media player 11 and sandisk sansa clip 4gb.

Nope, it couldn't be easier. When you plug the clip into your windows computer a menu pops up, one of the options is for transferring music, click on that, a folder opens like any folder in windows. In that folder there are several folders for music, audiobooks, etc. Copy your music into the folder and you are good to go. No need to use any program to do the transfer, its super easy.

Depends upon what you mean. I have listened to audio books that I have downloaded from my local library on the Electorhome and they sound just fine. However I did need to copy the files to the player (this is as easy as copying files from one directory to another in windows). The player does not, as far as I know, have built in support for things like Audible like some more expensive players. Also, the player does not have the ability to play books at various speeds - which is a feature I would dearly love to have when listening to audiobooks. That said - for the money you get a very good player for audiobooks. Depends upon what you mean.
