Is it possible to change text size on MP3 disks? I just installed the player and it seems to be working well - but when I pop in a disk of MP3 songs, it can only display about 6 or 7 titles at a time...and only about 10 characters of the name (with no artist information, etc). Is there a way to configure the text display to be smaller and include more information? Thanks! Is it possible to change text size on MP3 disks?

I went to the site; it appears to simply be spam-type links. Did you actually find anything there?

On this particular player I hit the mode button on the top left side of the player. Mine doesn't have a playlist listing. Basically I've got mine set up where it plays my songs in alphabetical order. After it plays the last song in the alphabetized playlist. It will return to the first song alphabetically listed on my player. But you'll have to push that button until you get the results I got. Depending on how you set that mode button the player will play your mp3 files on a randomized setting. I don't like that setting cause from my experience with other players you don't have any control over what plays when. Long story short. If you push that mode button to the "proper setting" for me. You can play, fast forward or rewind until your heart is content and hear what you want when you want. Hope this helps. Sorry for the delay in answering.

It does not show up in my file explorer as a drive. It shows up as exactly what it is, Sansa View, with an icon that resembles a generic mp3 player with headphones. There is no (*:\) anything tagged on at all.Looking into the system settings I see nothing that allows me to change any USB options. In fact, there are absolutely no options for changing the way the device interfaces with a computer.Hope this helps.~BS~

I have about 2000 songs on an 8 GB USB drive and it plays them but not in a random order. I have not tried a larger one. I am doing a separate drive for a 60's class reunion and want song to play in a certain order so I have numbered them on the flash drive 1 through 120 and that is the order they play.

Actually there is a limit. From page 63 of the user's manual "This unit can recognize a total of 9999 (a maximum of 999 files per folder)." Although my entire mp3 collection tops out at around 7500 folders & around 375gb. Appreciate the response though. I'm upset they couldn't have done something about the file limit on last year's models, as it was the same for 3 model years.

I have a 32 GB flash drive plugged into mine & I control everything from the unit itself. It just has to be set on source "USB". I've also had a 64 GB flash drive in it with NO problem. I've been using it like that for over 2 years. I've never tried it with an mp3 player as I can get everything I need from the flash drive!!!

Does the selection look for all file types, or just MP3 files. Can you select "All Files" and see everything on your player?

I don't have any lyrics attached to any files, since all mine are from my own CDs. There is no mention of this in the Sansa manual (you should probably download it from the Sandisk site). The closest I could find was the few "tags," they suggest you can add, if they are missing, and lyrics was not one of them. After more than 6 months of nobody fixing or even acknowledging the major bug in the player, and taking more than 2 months to get one with a decent battery, I wasted no time in converting mine to "RockBox." There is a plugin called lrcplayer that works with it. You should download the PDF to read up on it... it's called "rockbox-sansaclipzip.pdf", and you can get it from the RockBox site. However, final note, with the size of the screen (in pixels), it is questionable as to how useful displaying lyrics on it would be.

Donald, Have you had any success fixing this problem? I am having the same problem, I try transferring DVD files to the MP3 and it seems to work, but when I go to play the video on the mp3 it gives me an error. I think it needs to be converted but don't know how. Thanks.

HI Judy! Turn your machine on. The LCD Screen will show an icon that looks like a page. second column, 3rd down. Press that icon, and then the &gt; key. You'll see 3 options, Buzzer, Initial position, and English. &lt;&gt; The English is what changes the format from inches to metric. Hope this helps. Judy, if you are on Face Book, we have a wonderful group of SE400 owners. We exchange successes and failures, questions and answers. Also we exchange costs of items accessible for purchase on Amazon.

I don't have an audio book on mine yet, but for a song, there is a play speed option when you hold down the right side of the screen for an extra 2 seconds. It can be set to 0(default), 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5. Not sure what speeds they correspond to. Since audio books are part of the Music library options, I would guess this option is also available for audio books.I have firm-ware version 2.01US, so you might have to upgrade if your player has an older firmware. I didn't remember seeing the audio books option in the earlier firmware.

Are your music files normal mp3's or copy-protected music? If they're normal mp3's, then you should be fine. If you use some subscription service (which I don't, or really know anything about) and have a computer full of windows media files infected with that DRM junk, then you might have to. Before I bought the Zen SLeek, I was looking at the Toshiba Gigabeat (same price and capacity), but I passed on it once I found that it converts your mp3's to copy-protected wma files when you trasfer them to your player. The Zen Sleek does not do that.

The Sansa Clip displays looks like this:(shuffle) 412/729 [ ===]ArtistSong/Album|> -----==== 5:12By line:- mode, song #/total songs, battery status- artist name (scrolls if long)- song name / album name (scrolls if long)- play/pause, play position, play timeWhen searching, you can search by artist, album, song, genre, or playlist. It's *very* handy.

I use a 16gb flash drive but I always use random play--sometimes it freezes when loading--but if I switch to cd then back to usb-it seems to always work fine. I've had no problems with sony or Philips mp3 devices--just seems to lock up when first reading flash drives--it is a little slow at reading files before it begins playing--I'd say about a minute delay-not a problem. Display information depends on what is available on flash drive--ir title artist album are provided it will display them--though you have to turn on the display by using the remote 'display" button or it just gives numeric info I use a 16gb flash drive but I always use random play--sometimes it freezes when loading--but if I switch to cd then back to usb-it seems to always work fine.

I've never played MP3 CDs so I can't really answer the question. I use an Ipod (the ultimate CD changer) with my head unit. I've had zero problems with the random feature with this arangement. good luck.
