Uninstall all the Sansa software completely, and then reinstall it either from the CD or the Sandisk website.

I have a new Macbook Pro. How do I download Mp3 files to my Sansa clip Mp3 Player?

  1. The Sansa Clip will only play digital files that are in the MP3 format.
  2. Anything you "drag" to the Clip must be dragged to the MUSIC folder of the Clip drive represented on your desktop.
So, first make sure your CD "audio files" are in the MP3 format (iTunes can convert them, if not). And second, make sure you locate the MUSIC folder on the Clip drive as your destination.
Getting Songs onto the Clip
This is just a matter of copying files.

1) Plug the Clip into your USB
2) Copy song files (in the format the Clip accepts, see Clip manual) from your source to the MUSIC folder of the Clip drive.

NOTE (applies only to older versions of firmware): Copying files to the Clip on a Mac created extra files on the Clip and you would see them on the Clip display. If you are using an earlier firmware, you need something like the application, KopyMac to prevent this during copying. With the latest version of the firmware, this problem is eliminated.

FYI, if you keep your song files in the Artist:Album:song folder hierarchy on your source drive, you can copy the Artist folder to the Clip MUSIC folder and the hierarchy will be available through the Clip Music menu.

How do I get the downloaded music from my computer into the clip?

You have 2 ways to transfer your songs from your computer to your sansa clip:
1. Plug sansa clip to computer, double click on "Sansa Clip ...GB", double click on "Internal Memory", you will see the file "Music", copy your songs and paste them into Music file of the device.
2. Using Windows Media Player: open windows media player, plug sansa clip into computer, click on Sync tab, select songs that you want to sync, drag and drop song selected into "Sync list" on the right side of the windows media player (you should update wmp11), then click on button Start Sync.

Good luck

When I turn on my SanDisk Sansa Clip MP3 Player all it has on it is record and ready, I used to have a bunch of music on it and I don't know what I did , I did try to download a book once,I think I did...

Hello,
  • First you could try to RESET the Sansa Clip as next:
>>>
1. Turn the player on (shortly switch the power switch up)
2. Slide and hold the power switch up for 15-20 seconds
3. Release the power switch
The reset is completed
<<<
4. Shortly slide the power switch up
Check if the player functions normally again.

  • When the reset does NOT help next steps will be required:
>>>
1. Put the player in MSC mode: this way a computer recognizes the player as a removable disk.
How to put the Sansa Clip in MSC mode:
1.1 Turn device OFF.
1.2 Slide the Hold switch down to Lock (orange color showing).
1.3 Press and hold the center button while connecting the device to the PC.

2. Backup the media content on the player to the computer.
Connect the player to the computer and backup the files to the PC,
exploring "My Computer" in the removable disk.

3. Perform a firmware reinstallation / firmware update.
Use next link for updating the Clip's firmware:
http://kb.sandisk.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/300/related/1
The Sansa Firmware Updater execute file is mentioned as installer
for getting the matching updates for the Sansa Clip.
Direct to the Sansa Firmware Updater execute file with next link:
http://mp3support.sandisk.com/sansa/Application/SansaUpdaterInstall.exe
Right click the link above and select "Save Target As..." for saving the
installer to a location on the computer.
Double click the execute file after the download has completed to run it.

I can't hear songs I've downloaded to my mp3 player once I unplug it from the computer and they don't actually show up in my mp3 even though when I look with my computer, I can clearly see them in the...

hmm..that's weird. i would delete all the files i've imported onto my mp3 player and maybe restart my computer. if that doesn't work, check to make sure that the mp3 type is compatible with your sansa player.

hope this helps,

Synch.

Make sure the DRM licesnse on the songs is valid, make sure your music svc sub is current, or convert every song to Mp3 format - or you will have that skipping problem.
