Rockbox not properly running with Sansa Clip plus ?

[FrenchCounty]

Hi,

Last week, I just received a brand new sansa clip+ under blister as a gift (hidden for years at the bottom of a drawer in my sister's house  ). I updated it with the official firmware then I installed rockbox 3.13 After browsing for a while in the settings menu, my first impression was really good.
Later on, I got the first clue that something was going wrong. I noticed that when safely unplugging sansa clip plus from pc, it was always sending me back this message :

Error accessing playlist control file

Then I tried to add preset for my favourite radio stations. Unfortunately after reboot, all of them were disappeared, and i got this message :

No settings found. Autoscan ?

I couldn't find anymore the specific folder .rockbox\fmpresets
After many many tests, and I don't how, I suddenly managed to fix that problem, and i enjoyed listening to my favourite stations

Then, I decided to load via Rockbox Utility, a custom theme for a better readability. I managed to implement it in my device, but when i select it, I get a message

config load

but when I reboot, nothing is changed.
After many many tests, and I don't know how, I suddenly managed to install & run a custom theme. For ten minutes, I have been comparing 3 or 4, making sure by rebooting each time that the tested theme was really working.
Unfortunately, the last theme I chose cannot be removed or replaced anymore : I'm stuck now in audiobooks theme  .
I manually deleted it from windows explorer, but this "ghost theme" is still being operated by rockbox.

My question is simple : How should I fix this reliability problem ?

Thanks

Update to the current development build. 3.13 is ancient and was released relatively early in the clip+ port.

Either run the installer in the picture you linked to and select "development build" or click the "dev builds" link on the left side of your screen.
