My Questions About The Sansa Clip+ ?

I purchased a Sansa Clip+ and it should be here this thursday. But i have some questions. I am only using it to play music encoded in flac.

Where can I find the latest firmware upgrade for the Clip+?

Here is the lastest firmware for the Clip+

Is it worth it to download the latest firmware?

It wouldn't hurt

Do you have to turn the Sansa Clip+ On first before installing firmware updates? 

Follow the directions for the update and everything will be fine.

Is this true about folder navigation on the clip+?  For example, selecting a folder for playback doesn't move on to the next folder after it's finished, but stops or repeats the same folder.  MMm 

How would you rank the sound quality of the Sansa Clip+?

I've only had my Clip+ for a day then I Rockboxed it so I can't say too much about the sound.

Also hows the battery life playing flac files?

I'll have to give it a try and let you know.

Thank You All.

Since I already Rockboxed it they have a setting that you can play from one folder to the next and so one.

Also hows the battery life playing flac files?

First test was, songs already loaded on 8 gb micro sd card and with a full battery.  FLAC files have been playing 12.5 hours and the battery indicates 25%, volume has been set at -15db the entire time, also minimal buttons have been pressed so screen hasn't been on long.  I'm thinking the screen has been on under 5 mins total and not longer.

Thank You All.
