WAV and Clip+ not a good match

Thread Starter 
Just bought a Sansa Clip+ and for some reason I can't figure out is that it won't play some of tracks I have ripped from my personnal CD's and some of them it plays just fine . So I reripped the same CD's in Flac and it played all the tracks just fine . Sansa support is closed today and I can't find anything here on Headfi so I was wondering if anybody knows anything about this , like could it be the player or something else ? , sure would like to know , so far I really can't tell any difference between FLAC and WAV on this player but I sure don't want a defective player either even tho I really like this player alot . Thanks

Try ripping some new .wav files. Maybe some of yours are corrupt or didn't encode properly. For example, if you know of a particular .wav track that doesn't work, rip that cd to a new .wav file and see if that works.

Try looking into clip firmware updates.

There is no sound quality difference between the two. Both are lossless, they're just coded differently to store the data.

As a test, I just decoded one of my FLAC files to L-PCM, and then copied it over to my Sansa Plus 8GB. It played back fine - standard 16-bit PCM audio, at 44100 Hz.
