Sansa clip installation software

The confusing thing is that your computer can only see one mode at a time. Auto Detect will choose MTP if it finds WMPlayer on your computer, MSC if not (for Apple and Linux users). MSC is the drag-and-drop mode–it just sees the Sansa as two regular disc drives, one for the internal memory and one for the microSD card sot. MTP is the mode WIndows Media Player (10 or above) uses. If you turn on the Sansa and go to Settings/System Settings/USB Mode you’ll see MTP, MSC and Auto Detect.

If you want to try Rhapsody, you can go to and download the same software.

The Rhapsody disc is just a trial of the Rhapsody music service.

Then you can drag-and-drop the mp3 versions over–though you do have to find where iTunes has stashed them. Using iTunes, you can highlight the files you want, right-click and choose Create Mp3 Version. (If your music is all in iTunes, it may be. You can connect the Sansa to your computer and drag-and-drop music onto it. Not quite as seamless, but it does the job.īut you don’t even need that. If you’ve had an iPod, using Windows Media Player and the Sansa is something like using iTunes with an iPod–it makes playlists, synchs, etc.

I don’t know if you’ve had a music player before. (If you have a really old PC you’d have to update Windows Media Player from .) In fact, you need absolutely no software to handle the Sansa.If you have a PC that has WIndows Media Player 10 or above, that will connect automatically to the Sansa. I have no idea why they send out those stupid little CDs.
