Firmware 1.29 allows for 2000 objects in each Music database (internal and mico SD card). This capacity should be good for a 16 gb SD card. Firmware 1.28 allowed for 4000 objects in each Music database (internal and mico SD card). This capacity should be good for a 32 gb micro SD card. What size micro SD card are you hoping to use with your Clip Sport?
Personally, I do not mind swapping out 16 gb cards every month or so for my music listening variety, etc etc.
Maybe you can read the entire message trail in this link to a discussion of FW 1.28 in this forum?
