Sansa Clip plus Download Problem

[lhenry]

Using Sansa Clip Plus with Over Drive Media Console some of my audio books are downloaded on the unit with some parts out of order.

WMA or MP3 is the format utilized.

The shuffle option is “off”

I would appreciate any suggestions to alleviate this problem.

It has to do with the way the chapters are numbered in the files. If the first 9 chapters don't have leading zeros, then the book will play out of sequence. Your Clip plays chapters in this order: 1, 10, 11, 12... ...19, 2, 20, 21, etc. What you want is 01, 02, 03... ...08, 09, 10, 11...

Here's a tutorial from SanDisk on how to correct it:

Playing Audiobook Chapters in sequential order

How do I edit Audiobook Chapters to play it in sequence on a Sansa player?

In order to EDIT Audiobooks for playing in sequential order first move the audiobooks to computer from Sansa Player and then we will edit the ID3 tags (Chapter Information)

Can you use Mp3tag to edit library books? It's a free program, easy to use.

MP3TAG is an effective solution for me. I use a Sansa also. Be sure to get the track numbers entered correctly -- either manually or using the built in auto-numbering wizard in the tools menu. You will need to select all the tracks first.
