Hey guyi,

According to information provided by the manufacturer (Sandisk), the Sansa Clip MP3 player can use two different methods to upload songs: a simple drag-and-drop interface, or syncronizing the player with Windows Media Player.

With the traditional drag-and-drop interface, you would need to connect the player to your computer and select the "Open device to view files using Windows Explorer" option when it is presented. Once you have done this, you should be able to double-click on the "Sansa" player and then the "Music" folder. After this folder has been opened, you should be able to drag and drop (or copy/paste) the files into this folder to upload them to the player.

For more information or instructions on how to add files to your Sansa music library using Windows Media Player however, you may wish to refer to your owner's manual or the following link on the manufacturer's website:

http://www.sandisk.com/assets/File/Downloads/user-guides/clip-usermanual.pdf

Unfortunately Windows Media Player does not currently appear to support the ability to directly import iPod playlists, but if you keep most of your music files in the same folder/directory on your computer, both programs should be able to share the same music library. Please keep in mind that this may only apply to music that you loaded onto the computer yourself and other unprotected file formats that both programs recongize (like .MP3 files), and may not necessarily apply to copy-protected songs downloaded from iTunes or other online music services.

Hope this helps you out.

Sincerely,
Aaron
Go Ahead. Use Us.

As I know, iTunes music video files has apple drm license protection that prevent users playing itunes content on other non-ipod portable players, so if you want to load the tracks on itunes to play on sansa player you may need to convert itunes music files to mp3 first:)

How do I get my itunes library to play on my sansaclipplus?

If you've purchased your music from the iTunes Store, it is in a format that is incompatible with your Clip. BUT, iTunes has the ability to convert songs to MP3 format, which your Clip can play. In iTunes, select a song(s), then under the "Advanced" pulldown menu, select "Create MP3 Version". Wait for it to finish, depending on how many songs you've selected, it could take some time.

Once you've created the MP3s, find them on disk and copy them to your Sansa Clip's "Music" folder. Or, use a program like iTunes Agent to sync an iTunes playlist directly to your Clip. Note, iTunes Agent requires a little bit of computer knowledge, it's not for pure novices.

Loading music from sansa

iTunes uses AAC copies of music files. The Sansa Clip needs the files in WMA or MP3 format. You need to find a free audio converter online and convert the songs you want to MP3 or WMA format. Many programs will create a converted copy while still retaining the original AAC copy.

How do I delete duplicate songs from my e280 song list?

You can have a try Leawo Tunes Cleaner. Just follow below steps. If you still have issues or have a massive music library in iTunes or other music folders that requires a more powerful and less time-consuming option, the third-party software like Leawo Tunes Cleaner can help you. It can not only automatically clean up duplicate songs in iTunes, but also automatically delete duplicate songs in other music folders. If you want to automatically remove duplicates in iTunes, the automatic duplicate remover might have the answer for you.
1. After kicking off Leawo Tunes Cleaner, click the "Clean-up Duplicate" entry. The program provides 2 duplicate scanning modes: Quick Scan mode and Deep Scan mode. Select one of them to scan duplicate songs.
2. You could delete duplicates in iTunes music library by directly clicking "Scan iTunes" button or click "Add" button to load music files for duplicates removing.
3. After loading source music files, click the "Scan" button on the upper-right corner to start scanning duplicates. The program would display all duplicates clearly and suggest what to remove. You could decide which duplicates to delete by checking them and then click the "Remove" button to remove duplicate songs.

Loading itunes library into my sansa view ... how?

You will have to use windows media player to load your songs onto your mp3 player. Open windows media player and see if the songs you want are there (they should be). If not, go to itunes and right click on a song and click on a option that should say open file location and go there. Then transfer all of your songs to your windows media player and transfer them to your mp3 player. Then it should work. If you need any more help, ask.

Unable to download itunes from itunes library to sandisk clip mp3

Make sure the files are in MP3 or WMA file format. If they are in a different file format other than the ones above convert them because for audio those two are the file format that the sansa clip supports. Im not sure but iTunes convert songs to AAC or MP4 depending on the settings of it.

The best way to transfer songs tot he sansa clip is to change the mode of the player to MSC by going to Settings and then USB Mode. This would help detect the drive as a flash drive so you could copy and paste songs to it.
