SanDisk Clip Jam 8GB MP3 player - Black

Product Information

Yet made in Linux they don’t work, I’m guessing they don’t from a Mac either. Maybe they need to have DOS line ends instead of unix or Mac . I’m in Linux with nothing handy to try that with. In a hex viewer you can see the difference. In the top line of dark blue, in the 3rd section you see a 0A line end. That’s Linux. In the bottom viewer is the same file converted to DOS line ends, the 0A has been replaced by 0D 0A. This playlist now works fine in my ClipJam.

The budget price of the Clip Jam clearly comes from the fact that the device is made with cheap plastic. Likewise, the face buttons are finished in a matte coating that’s prone to scuffs and scrapes. After only a few uses ours was scratched up.

On a Linux/unix machine you should be able to cd to the directory where your mp3 are and do something like “ls *.mp3 > mylist.m3u”. No dragging and dropping or Windows Media Player or Windows Explorer or other nonsense. If I remember right there’s a way, like “dir /b *.mp3 > mylist.m3u”, to get a bare list of file names from a Windows/DOS command prompt. One of the best features of the Clip Jam is its wide variety of supported file formats, including MP3, WMA (NO DRM), AAC, WAV, and Audible (DRM only). All of these come through crystal-clear, thanks in part to a strong equalizer in the Settings menu.

We’re happy to report that the Clip Jam’s radio came through loud and clear, even if we wish it had the ability to do AM radio.
