The learning curve is way more than I ever needed using my iPod Nano.
I started “small” until I was confident in my increasing enjoyment of this device. #EXTINF:nnn,ArtistName - SongTitleSubfolderName\Filename.mp3ĪND, I make a decent effort to curate my ID3 tags so I can use my Clip Sport to play Albums, Artists, Song Titles and Shuffle All. The required structure of one entry in a working playlist looks like this: I always save the m3u playlist inside one subfolder that contains all the other cited music files.ģ.

If I first create a playlist of music subfolders & files that are saved on my PC and then simply copy these subfolders and related playlists into my Clip Sport, the device is not able to correctly interpret the location of all the subfolders & files. My working playlists must include the specific subfolder locations of my music files inside the Music folder on my Clip Sport.Ģ.

But I have learned a few things while testing VLC and Mp3Tag software to create playlists on my Clip Sport.ġ. Would you like an almost new Sansa Sport? Sandisk need to make their units user friendly and not expect use to work to get what we paid for. I can and have synced my old iPod Nano in Media Monkey until the Fiio arrives. That’s why I write tags!ĭon’t get me wrong, I appreciate your post and your suggestion but to go to such lengths isn’t worth it in order to use the media player. To have to load my music library in it’s entirity would take an age or go hunting through directories isn’t worth it. MP3 Tag is a good piece of software for rewriting tags and so on but it isn’t pheasible to use, in my situation, for creating playlists. I currently use Media Monkey and occasionally, if I need to, WinAmp.įor as long as I can remember I have always used a media library, even in the dark days when I used iTunes and before that WinAmp but for the last 4 years Media Monkey. I have about 50,000 audio files, just under 800GB, so I need to manage them in a media library. I am not interested in using the Sandisk Sport that much! To be perfectly honest, I don’t like VLC software and I shouldn’t have to go through a convaluted proceedure to get an MP3 player to do something simple. I did read 2 threads that contained a proceedure involving copying files to the device and then using VLC to create playlists. So now, I’ll sell the two Sandisk units and it makes me a little sad because I doubt I’ll return any time soon as I tend to stay brand loyal unless there is a major issue.
That isn’t a problem but the worry that the playlist problem will come with it scares me off even though I have not read any complaints about it anywhere. I looked at the Fiio M3 but I read that it uses the same chip as the Sport so has the 4000 song limit.

I already own a couple of their portable amps which are superb.
Now I have a choice to make and it looks like my choice is going to be a Fiio X1. I like the Sandisk range, the sound is good and until I got my hands on a Sport I didn’t have a bad word to say. Sure, I could play songs from folders on the Sport but that isn’t why I bought the **bleep** thing. Just connecting it to sync a podcast takes almost 30 minutes after disconnecting to refresh the library. I would continue with the Clip+ with Sandisk firmware but it takes too **bleep** long to refresh the library because of the large memory card I have. How can this still be a problem after 2 years? How can Sandisk screw up something so simple? I returned to this forum and saw a few other people with a similar problem. I tried a few different playlist formats, relative paths, different folder options and nothing works. I removed the card, put it in my mobile phone and all the songs are shown. I removed the card, put it in the Clip+ and the playlists show all songs. Once again songs were missing from the playlist even though the songs were copied on to the player and I could play them via the folder. I updated the firmware to v1.29 and synced a few playlists. I basically abandoned the unit to a drawer and carried on using the Clip+ running Rockbox but now I am so tired of the small screen I decided to look at the Sport again. It’s been just over 2 years since I posted about the playlist problems I had after buying a Sport.
