Preliminary Steps:

1. Go to the Sandisk site, download, and install the firmware update (I used method #2).

2. Create a plain text file (.txt) in the players root folder named .is_audio_player (view hidden files to see it). Inside the file put:

audio_folders=Music/,Podcasts/

podcast_path=Podcasts/

Output_formats=audio/ogg,audio/mp3/audio/m4a.audio/flac,audio/wma,audio/wav,audio/aa

Note: you will also need to do this for your Micro SDHC card. If you have a card that has a capacity above 32 Gig, you will need to reformat from exFAT to FAT-32.

Loading is just drag-and drop from Banshee.

Creating a Playlist:

The SanDisk Clip Sport likes to have all the music for the playlist in one folder. Create it in a file browser and drag all your songs into it. Put the folder into the player's Music folder. Open up EasyTAG and create a playlist (.m3u), saving it to the folder.

Audio-books and Pod-casts

You can drag-and-drop from Banshee, although this tends to place the podcasts in the music folder. I usually use the file manager to keep them in the Podcasts file.
