I can't copy radio podcasts from my PC to my sansa clip

I have downloaded radio podcasts from the internet onto my PC and cannot copy them onto my sansa clip by dragging and dropping or copying and pasting onto the podcast area - I get an error message saying I do not have permission to create this item. I have an identical sansa clip and do this all the time on that one.

SOURCE: Problem with drag and drop

(FOUND THIS SOLOUTION ON AFTERDAWN.COM) The problem is that this player have 2 standards for connecting to PC. One is MSC and other is MTP. Each one have different directories structure. If you put music when your player is connected as MSC, when you will conect as MTP you'll be not able to see the files uploaded previous. The same case is available when you write music files as MTP=> you can't see these files in MSC mode. So, set USB mode of your Sansa as MCS, power off, put hold switch to lock and connect to PC. You will see 3 directories: Audible, Records and Config (or something like that). See if your "invisible" music files are here. If they aren't connect as MTP. To connect as MTP: set USB mode to auto, shut down Sansa mp3 player, put hold switch to unlock and connect to PC. You will see only 2 directories now. Media and "something" (I can't remember now). Look for your "invisible" files and do what you want. MTP mode is for use with newer PC's. I advice you to use MCS mode all the time because is compatible with any PC (old or new). Good luck!

SOURCE: Sansa Clip with invisible podcast files

The podcats that aren't recognized may be in AAC instead of Mp3 format. Use Media Monkey or some other free software to convert them to mp3 format.

SOURCE: placing mp3 podcasts in the podcast folder

Create a folder on your View (in MSC mode) named "PODCAST". DO NOT put it in your MUSIC folder, but in the root directory. Place your Podcasts in there and disconnect your Sansa. After it refreshes you'll find your Podcasts under "Music\Podcasts" on your View :)

I can't seem to download videos into my mp3.
Good morning, afternoon, evening or night, whatever time you are viewing this. You are having trouble downloading videos onto your MP3 Player? Well there is a reason for and you probably won't like this... There is no way you can play videos on this MP3 Player. Sansa Clip doesn't support video files, only music files and audio podcasts. Sorry about this, but FixYa encourages you to come visit the website again soon. Again sorry, but I hope you have a good day, evening or night, whatever time you are viewing this solution post.

Am getting very frustrated with my Sansa Clip. I download a podcast or music onto my Clip, yet the Clip tells me that the folder is empty, but when i plug it into my computer again, all the downloads are...
what is the size of the podcast mp3? Many podcasts don't actually send you an mp3 of the podcast, but a link embedded in the mp3 that streams the podcast to your player of choice. (twit does this, fairly frustrating) if the mp3 is not very large, that is probably why.

I am running Windows XP. I have 2 problems. (1)I rip CDs using itunes having set the default format to MP3. Then I use windows explorer to move the albums to the music file of the sansa clip. However, some...
1) You need to set the "tags" in the music files ... artist, album and song name. I would suggest opening up the files in MediaMonkey, which will let you edit the tags.

2) After you download the podcasts with MediaMonkey, you need to find out where they exist on your disk. Then, copy them to your Clip using Windows Explorer.

Will turn on but message appears saying "Not enough space for music DB. Please free 30mb." then shuts down.
I had the same problem two days ago.

Working on the assumption that the problem was a corrupted file, here's how I fixed it. As you'll see, I connected my Clip an Macintosh computer to fix it, but there is probably an analogous procedure using a PC. But I'm not very PC savvy, so someone else will have to figure that out.
Also, I don't know that all the following steps are needed, for example, trashing the old content folders and creating new ones, but this is what I did, and success resulted:

Connect Clip to Mac

Click on Clip's icon to open it.

Open up all content folders and drag songs, audiobooks, podcasts, etc. to trash and empty trash. (The idea is to get rid of the corrupt file, wherever it is.)

Drag all Clip system files to a new folder on the Mac desktop to copy them. This will include DID.bin, RES_INFO.SYS, SYS_CONF.SYS, version.sdk and WMPInfo.xml (Basically, I copied everything that wasn't a content folder.)

Don't bother copying content folders AUDIBLE, AUDIOBOOKS, MUSIC, PODCASTS and RECORD. (Later, you'll create new folders to replace these, to ensure that no corrupted file is reloaded to the Clip.)

Go to the Mac's Utilities folder. Launch "Disk Utility." Select Disk Utility's "erase" function. On the left, where disks are listed, select the Clip. Click on the "Volume Format" dialog box and choose "MS-DOS filing system." (Don't bother with any of the erase options, such as replacing all data with zeroes. Just do the basic erase.) Erase the Clip.

When erase is completed, drag copies of Clip's system files from Mac desktop back onto Clip icon.

Use "new folder" function to create new AUDIBLE, AUDIOBOOKS, MUSIC, PODCASTS and RECORD folders on the Clip.

Eject Clip from Mac and note whether the screen shows the Clip "refreshing" normally. If it does, you're in business.

How do you download a podcast on the sansa mp3 clip?
Hi wyostardust,

There is a workaround to not use iTunes to subscribe to and download your favorite podcasts. This workaround is called Juiced : http://juicereceiver.sourceforge.net/ and it is free. Once you have used Juice to download all your podcasts you can then transfer them (the mp3s) to your Sansa Clip the same way you do with your music.

Regards,
-SHG

How to download abc podcast
The sandisk c200 is not an ipod and therefore will not support a podcast. I have gone to abc radio, through internet explorer, and it looks like if you click on the podcast section then find the one you want to put on, it is already in mp3 form. If your your having trouble putting the mp3's onto the sandisk, simply plug it into you computer, open the folder my computer, and it should be listed in that folder. ( most likely as drive Drive (D:) ) . Drag any songs you want into the drive its listed as and it will be on the sandisk.
