deleting songs: Has anyone figured out how to delete stuff off the player once you're tired of it?

You can only delete files while it is hooked up to the computer via USB cable. There is no way to do it using the buttons on the player. When hooked up via USB, you will see an extra drive appear in Windows explorer. Simply right-click on the file you wish to delete, and select "delete". You can also delete files from the device using Windows media player (I have v10), which is probably the best way. There is an "explore device" button near the bottom when you have the player plugged in.

It can be done in 2 ways:1. to remove one song, just select (play) the song you want to delete and then press the down button until you come to the option "delete song". Press enter.2. To delete all music from your device, go to "settings", then "system settings", then "format" and select "all".

I don't know how or if it is even possible to delete files on the player itself. I connect it to my PC and drag and drop the files.

Deletion of songs is done within the Explorer (labelled Browser) in the middle of the bottom row on the Menu screen. Highlight the song with the stylus and use the delete button at the bottom.

I haven't tried that feature. We are having a difficult time to get it to shuffle in a playlist so I would think if you assigned it all to the playlist it will play it. To be honest, this wasn't a good purchase...freezes up quite a bit when trying maneuver from folder to folder.

I'm sorry, I just read the other responses. I thought you were referring to the capability to 'shuffle the songs.' I haven't tried it but don't see why not. It worked for my playlists. Unfortunately I have it in my classroom and wont be able to try it until Monday, August 5, 2013.

I did end up with one problem and had to call the company. I was deleting songs off the player, but the space available was getting smaller. It turned out that I needed to empty the trash... simple enough. As I said, I just got a mac (macbook) so I don't know if this type of thing happens often with a mac. But, make sure you empty the trash if you are deleting songs or the player will get filled!!

You can fast forward, shuffle, repeat all that. The downside to this player is moving through folders. I have my music organized my artist & album making 88 folders filled with mp3 files. There's no quick way to get through the folders; such as going from folder 40 to 80. Also the screen shows no data on the files or folders.

I assume you mean just a few songs or albums and not everything. To erase everything is easy; just reformat from Settings in the ZipClip. To erase selected items connect to your PC and from the start menu open Computer, open zipClip and then open folders until you find what you want to erase, and right click on that and hit delete.

If it is in MTP mode or Auto Detect (default) then you can use Windows Media Player. If it's in MSC, then you can just drag and drop your music.

You are absolutely right David. I create my playlists on Windows Media Player 11 and zip,it's on the player. To delete a song or add, it's the same thing...hook it up and do what you want-thru WMP. This is our 2nd SanDisk. The other one is the black 2MG. Only problem we had with that one was every time we plugged in the USB XP said the deivce wasn't recognized. SanDisk was great! After walking me thru some instructions to no avail, SanDisk said we'll supply the shipping label and costs and will replace immediately. They did. Now, no problems. I think the service at SanDisk is top-notch.

I couldn't find a way to do so. I needed to remove the music from folders in order to play them. You could use separate memory cards I suppose.

Yes, you scroll to the file you wish to delete and hold down the volume button. Then select Yes or No. My player came with the complete works of Shakespeare installed. Nice feature, but I deleted them all for more music room.

no, just make sure you leave the song in your itunes playlist (and stop it deleting automatically in your options settings). it will have a little exclamation point next to it but as long as you dont actually delete it from the playlist it wont delete it from your ipod. I dont have space to hold all the music on my ipod on my pc so i did exactly this.

Yes you just have to set up a play list in advance, or jump around your music to find what you want. I have different play lists for different activities.
