I am having terrible issues with my Clip Zip. It randomly either freezes, in which case I have to push the off button for 15-20 seconds to turn it off; or it simply quits in the middle of a song. In neither case can I turn it back on again. I have to wait for hours to try again. The battery seems to drain too quickly, as if it's not really turning off even when the screen is black and I cannot get it to respond. I can't get it to be recognized by Windows at the moment as I can't turn it on, so I can't reinstall RockBox.
I feel like throwing the stupid Clip in the pool. The reason I even installed RockBox in the first place was because it would freeze when I tried to go backward, and make a noise like a record skipping. For a while, that issue disappeared, only to be replaced by worse issues. I think the thing is junk, actually, and RockBox saved it for a while.
