A:AnswerYou may have to delete your cover art from your computer, then also delete your song from your player, then add your same song with newer cover art and or blank.
A:AnswerSandisk offers many such devices. I have 2 of them... The Clip+, and a Sport Clip. Both units have the option of using a Micro SD card to expand the memory capacity of their devices. The Clip+ can handle up to an 8GB Micro SD card, and the Sport Clip will accept up to 32GB extra memory.
I use them when I go riding. I get hours of music without having to deal with lost radio signals.
A:AnswerThis is a good question. There is one little wrinkle that I encountered with this version of the clip that I didn't experience with prior versions. The operating system of the 8GB Sport Clip apparently only stores the album title in a 12-digit field. So, if your album title is, for instance, The Edge of Eternity - Disc 1, it will only store "Edge of Eter". This is a problem if you have multiple CD's that have the same first 12 digits album name because when you try to play it back through the music feature, it will play the first track of the first CD, then the first tract of the second CD, etc. rather than playing the tracks in order. I have reason to suspect that the operating system of the Clip Sport Plus supports longer album names but I'm unwilling to shell out $60 just to find out.
The workaround that I have discovered is that, after ripping the CD using Windows Media Player, just edit the album name to 12 characters or less (Eternity 01, Eternity 02, etc.). right in Windows Media Player. An alternative way to rename them is to change the album name using Windows Explorer. Select all the files in a folder, then select properties, then Details, then change the album name there. A bit cumbersome and a lot easier right in Windows Media Player. Either way, changing the album name to 12 digits or less before copying the files to the Clip Sport fixed the problem for me.
A:AnswerIt will charge if your boom box is capable of that. It can play via a usb port if your boom box can see it as a thumb drive and access the songs that way. It doesn't output music via the usb port. It looks like a thumb drive when connected to a computer.
A:AnswerI don't use a program other than the "windows explorer" function of Windows i.e. I treat it like a hard drive, and manually select whether things are going into the Music, Podcast or Audibook folder. As for why it matters which folder you can put things in, the software interacts with them slightly differently, giving you different options: Ex: you can play podcasts (& Audiobooks?) at 3 different speeds, but you can't shuffle or repeat like you can files in the music folders.
