I would love to see the option to disable tag browsing in the Clip+ and Fuze, so that cards can be swapped without any delays to refresh the database.
Excellent idea!
You would lose folder browsing too then. It actually uses the database for that, it’s not actual storage-level folder browsing.

Well, yeah, fix that part too.

If that is true, then it really ■■■■■. Why isn’t it storage-level folder browsing? Unfortunately I think you may be right about this though, as I was using my Fuze last night in folder mode, and two files in a folder on the player were in reverse order from the way they appeared in the folder on the pc. I still can’t understand why. I will watch for this.

Is the idea here that the database loading algorithm might load the files by creation/modification date, causing the files to not be displayed in alphabetical order by filename?
Maybe it is storage-level folder browsing, and the firmware simply sorts by some other file attribute than filename (why, I don’t know).
The files that were switched in order had names that were the same until the 20th charachter. Windows dealt with this properly, but the Fuze had them in the wrong order. I guess the Fuze doesn’t look at the full filename, or even the first 20 charachters.
I’m in the market for a MP3 player to take to the gym, so I would also like a FM turner on it. The sansa clip+ was recommended.
When you download music, do you put it on a sd card first?, opposed to my a windows library? What about other free download music sites… can they be used as well?
This forum did not speak highly of the accessories for the sansa clip+. What accessories are available for the Sansa Clip+?
Is the Sansa Clip+ a better purchase than the Ipod Shuffle? How comparable are the two?
Any type of tutorial video would be helpful.
Thank you.

The card is not SD, it is microSD. You can load music on the card with a separate card reader, or while it is in the player. The player also has internal memory (models from 2 to 8 GB) and does not require a card.
I don’t have a shuffle, but AFAIK the main similarity is the size. The clip+ has FM, recording, a DISPLAY , some control over what songs you listen to, and the memory slot.
Thank you;excellent information.one more thing,for the clip+,what style of ear buds come with it?can you chose
different ones? does scan disk have a picture of them on there site?
The supplied earbuds with the Sansa are pretty decent, compared against many readily available types. I find that they have a warm balance with pleasant bass, compared against many other “off the shelf” types. Many users never use them, opting instead to use a favorite pair with their Clip.
Managing your music, audio books, and podcasts is simple with the Sansa. You can simply “drag and drop” the audio files to the connected device, or use any one of many available applications, Windows Media Player being the most readily available, to keep track of your music.
Many users use applications like Media Monkey or Winamp to handle the task, or services like Napster or Rhapsody to transfer subscription music. The Clip is happy with all of these. Which one you will use, or even a combination of all the above, is up to you; one isn’t limited to a sole application to enjoy the Sansa.
