Sansa Clip+ Impressions - Page 13

post #181 of 190

Guys, a question:

 

I am looking to get one of those Clip+ players :) I've managed to test one in a local electronics store and I've found one think that bugged me.

 

Let's say that I have a full memory worth of MP3s playing on random. I'm jogging on the sunny day, the music's playing gently one song after the other, everything is pretty and beautiful. Suddenly I realize that I feel like I'd like to listen to one particular song I have on my player. So I enter the menu, navigate to the song through the Artist -> Album -> Song submenus and select it to play.

And now it's the funny thing - when I tried such thing on the Clip I was toying with, it suddenly 'forgot' that I have other MP3s on the device, and when the selected song ended it didn't go to the next (random one from the memory). It just stopped at the end of the song and I had to enter the menu and select "play all" from the menus. My old iRiver didn't behave like that - when it was set to 'random' it just shuffled to the next song even if the song which just ended was selected manually.

 

My question: I didn't had much time in store to assess the situation properly, so I ask you: if this behaviour is normal or is it a bug in the early firmware? Is there a way to acheve the aforementioned 'iRiver-style behaviour' on the Clip?

Try putting "shuffle all".

i also recently got a sansa clip+ 8gb and love it, i never found it veiled, rockbox it and it's good, prefer it to iPods mainly because of the amout of settings and things to mess about with. And the size is very good, it's tiny, and i hook it up to a cmoy and it works a treat. You can't go wrong at the price of the clip+

That's not very encouraging.  Got a set of quads for the gig and wanted a better player than what's on my phone.
