Some files don't appear on comp and some files don't appear on Sansa Clip plus

Such a weird problem.


When I plug in the Sansa Clip plus onto my Linux computer, I don't see a zip file. The zip file is on the Sansa Clip. I can see it when I look through the File browser.

I wonder if this has something to do with MTP/MSC or formatting (on Linux/Windows/Mac). I don't know which format the Clip nor the MicroSD card is in.


Please help.

That would be my guess.  Rockbox only supports FAT files systems, so most likely both your player and microSD card are FAT32.  This shouldn't cause any problems for any modern OS.

what's the connection between mtp, msc and fat32? And how can i check whether my rockbox and MicroSd card are fat32.


Oh, I realized that the files I added to the SDcard or Clip when on a Windows computer don't show up on a Linux comp.

MSC is what you want to use, MTP is what you don't want to use.

I think formatting a Clip as anything but FAT breaks it, so if you can turn it on its probably FAT.

i still don't know why my linux comp can't see the files/folders on rockbox/microsd card that i added from a Windows comp.
