Sansa clip manager4/8/2023 ![]() usb 1-4: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=3 usb 1-4: New USB device found, idVendor=0781, idProduct=74d1, bcdDevice=aa.8c usb 1-4: new high-speed USB device number 12 using xhci_hcd I need to load quite a few players for school use so it is important that I get this working for the new players. I can manually mount the jam player and access it. Upgraded to buster and the clip+ players continue to work but when I introduced a sandisk jam mp3 player, nemo doesn't recognize it.ĭmesg show both the clip+ and jam players recognized when plugged but the jam player never show up on nemo file manager. I have quite a few sandisk clip+ mp3 players that have been running with debian 8 and 9 for years without troubles. We were somewhat disappointed by the battery, which lasted around 11 hours in our tests at a moderate listening volume, making it unsuitable for extended journeys if charging isn’t an option.This is debian buster 10.1 running cinnamon desktop. The Clip Zip supports ReplayGain volume profiles, so if you have the tag set correctly (using a music program such as foobar2000) your tracks will play at similar volumes. That said, the volumes in question were loud enough to be physically painful to listen to. With the volume unlocked, we found that some of our louder tracks sounded harsh and slightly distorted at the very highest volumes. Fortunately, setting your region as Rest of the World unlocks the Clip Zip’s high volume mode. However, it’s worth noting that if you set your region as Europe, the MP3 player will apply a volume limiter that makes it so quiet as to barely to drown out the background noise of our office, let alone output music loud enough to be clearly audible over the sound of a tube train or a gym’s music system. The Clip Zip’s 16-bit DAC outputs clean, accurate sound. Music through the supplied pair sounded a bit fuzzy, but once we’d switched to our own headphones, we got to appreciate our music properly. They’re comfortable to wear, but don’t feel very secure. The supplied earbuds are much what you’d expect to get free with an MP3 player. The player has a microUSB port and supports MSC mode for easy transfers from various popular audio programs including Windows Media Player, or you can set it to just mount as a disk in Windows and drag and drop your tunes. The Clip Zip supports Amazon’s proprietary Audible audiobook format, as well as a wide range of audio file types including OGG, 16-bit FLAC, WMA, Protected WMA and AAC. Track order for standard audio files is determined by the track number tag, so if you have these right albums or MP3 format audio books will play in the right sequence. Other menus provide access to the player’s FM radio, audiobooks and podcasts, voice recorder, a file manager to browse an inserted SD card, a stopwatch with a lap timer and logging functions and a settings menu. You can use the menus to add individual songs to a quick playlist but there’s no handy iPod-style interface for adding multipl e tracks. ![]() The music menu allows you to shuffle all tracks or view them by album, artist, genre or playlist. The colour display has a range of icons for the Clip Zip’s key features. A microSDHC slot allows you to add up to 32GB more audio content to the Clip Zip’s built-in 8GB capacity. The whole thing measures just 55x33x11mm, including the sturdy plastic clip on the back, which is particularly handy if you want to use it while running. There are volume buttons on the side and a power and locking key at the top. Below it are six buttons for navigation and selection. This latest incarnation of Sandisk’s Sansa Clip adds a full colour screen to our favourite budget MP3 player.
