I'm an extensive audio book listener. I have several, i.e. about 6 or so, mp3 players. I have found that there are three data items that need tending too.

1. The file name.
2. The track name.
3. The track number.

Different devices will use different items to play consecutively. I have also found that on the two "names" that the sorting will only go for the first 6 or 7 characters. Thus: "Harry Potter disk 1 track 1" will be confused with "Harry Potter disk 1 track 2"

So.... The first thing I do is rename the file and track with "001 Harry Potter", etc., and MAKE SURE the tracks are numbered. Sometimes they all get number "1" which confuses the "you know what" out of the systems.

As far as the Sansa Clip, I have one with the microsd card slot. On my notes I keep for all my players, I wrote that the Clip plays by "File name".

Hope this helps.

BTW: I only use MP3's audio books. If you are using DRM'd WPA, I'm not sure this applies.

good luck.

AJ
