Received from Woot in very good condition. Now that I have this MP3 player I would have paid $50 for it. It's amazing.

didier wrote:My Sanda Clip won't charge and it won't connect. When I plug it in the USB port, the display comes up, the charging indicator works for a little bit, then the player stays on but the charging indicator stops moving (stays on "low") and the device does not charge. I left it plugged in several hours yesterday and it stills says "Low battery".
Also, the device will not show up in Explorer. I did get one notification that a new device was plugged in, but typically for USB drives, you get two notifications and I never got the second one and the device does not show up in Explorer. I use WinXP Pro SP2.
Any advice appreciated, otherwise I will have to return it, and that would be bad because of the good reviews.
Thanks in advance

Mine more or less does the same thing. Which makes me sad as this was my first ever woot.

I see that the USPS in my city was electronically notified on the 10th after it sat in Denver for several days. It was supposed to be here today. Bummer. This is the first and last time I will order from Woot until better shipping options are available. I can ship from the East coast a similar size package for a buck or two more and have it in three days.

DITTO, Brutha. Still waiting with nothing but a tracking number that mocks me.

I think I figured out my not charging problem. I have a 7 port USB hub and I was trying to charge it through that. It wasn't working as the supplied USB cable was just too short for me. So I used another USB cable supplied with a camcorder I bought earlier this year and it seems to be working(charging) now. Charging it through a front USB port as I type. WOOT I heart you. =)

I got mine yesterday. Worth the wait on CheapSlow shipping. Very nifty little device for the money.

I am haveing troubles with my player. The computer will not recognize the player. I havecontacted SanDisk and we have gone through all the steps. They then told me to try to return it to Woot. has anyone seen or heard of any fixes for the player to be read. Any help would be great. Thanks.

Ordered on 08/29
Tracking says delivery should be 09/12
USPS still says no as of 09/13
Maybe 09/15?

Really slow. I hope I don't receive a broken one like so many other posters.

I live in New Mexico. This location is in the United States. Here is the tracking info:

I just hope something shows up. Like I said before, first and LAST time. What an embarrassment.

What do you expect for next to nothing for shipping? I'm sure that WOOT takes a hit almost every time they ship something. This is nothing really. Try collecting sports cards. I win sports cards on eBay all the time (mostly from Canada) and sometimes it takes a month(sometimes longer I don't heart you Canada Post) to get here. So to me the wait. while somewhat inconvineient is nothing compared to other things.

This may also help you out. I know it did me.

Just got mine today, works great, even came with songs on it.

I don't care how little I paid for shipping, this is a small item. I frequently order online and I have never had this happen except when something was back ordered. 10 days to go from Texas to Idaho? Mail was just delivered, nothing. You be the guinea pig for Smartpost AKA gettheresometimepost. This form of shipping stinks.

Just got mine today and it works perfectly. Whats more I'm thoroughly impressed with this thing. It is small, unobtrusive and holds way more then I would even think of loading into it. One surprise is how comfortable and well sounding the earplugs are. I figured I would have to buy a set of earplugs now I'm not going to bother, sounds great.

Anyways, thanks Woot for a great 1st purchase.

Got two yesterday.

Can't get WMP to recognize them - even though Windows Vista recognizes them as valid 'Portable Devices' and I can drag/drop files directly.

There's a recommended firmware update here (they use a "downloader" to detect your device and then push out the correct firmware):

Some people are having success rectifying detection issues with these:

My clip just suicided on me this morning. It wont turn on and wont charge. I've had it for about a week with no problems. I've tried several USB ports to no avail. I tried the FAQs but didn't see an explanation about RMA's. Should I go directly to Sandisk with this issue or Woot?

If i go with Woot, will I have to pay for shipping on a RMA?

Thanks in advance

I used mine 5 or 6 times, loved it. Then it just died. It didn't even say goodbye. Any tips on revival? I plug in the USB, nothing happens--the player doesn't respond, and the computer shows nothing there.

i live in los angeles... what the heck is this?

That is what is called "affordable shipping." Note that I didn't say anything about delivery!

Sansa Clip is a reliable small mp3 player. It has small size and big memory. I've 2GB Clip. Such tiny thing can keep lots of my favorite music. I'm impressed!

My clip just stopped charging. It only charged half way after hours when I first got it, and now that im trying to charge it again its not charging at all.

Add me to the list of folks who bought a player, had to wait an additional week to get it, and now it won't hold a charge.
I realize it was only $20, but still - if I buy something from Woot!, I expect it to at least be vetted enough to work.
Now I just need to figure out if it's worth going through the hassle of sending it back and asking for a refund.
Any thoughts or ideas?

Thanks!

I realize I'm quoting myself, but wanted to perhaps help others out there who are having the "not holding a charge" problem. I had an additional, longer, USB power cord from my Rio Carbon 5GB. Used it instead of the little 6" that Sansa provided with the Clip, and it works like a charm.
Kudos who the person above who recommended this!
Hope this helps others having issues.

Good advice - I've got a Sansa e270 that was having intermittent issues, and a new usb cable solved the problems.

do I need to buy a charger for the sansa.
Or can chage it on the computer.

Am I missing something here? (besides the Sandisk Clip 2GB MP3 Player). The tracking information looks as if it has come to CA, bounced around to a number of different cities, then somehow ended up back in Dallas.

I ordered some other stuff since then and it came in about a week via FedEx.

Now, just so I understand, what part of SmartPost was the smart part?

Smartpost is an oxymoron. Emphasis on the moron part.

Smartpost just plain vacuums-but-it's cheap. So like many others have said, basically just expect it-deal with it-and appreciate the cheap shipping.

Also, the intructions were linked to the original page but thanks to those who posted links as I lost the copy I made from the original.

i've had my clip from woot for about a week now.

it was working great at first and then it started to glitch and freeze up and now it wont even turn on. i'm so sad.

I received mine late last week, and Have been using it for a few days now. I upgraded it to the latest firmware and so far I'm really happy with it, sound quality is quite good, and its been holding enough charge for 2 or 3 days of use. Hope it keeps on working.

Got mine last week works like a charm great player. Specially the sound, it has been by far the best sounding mp3 player that I ever had. I wasn’t also very unhappy about the shipping the smart or rather snail mail as I call it took almost about 2 weeks to show up.

smallville824 wrote:A response to your email was sent today 9/15/08 explaining the shipping process via smart post.

Smallville824, I just received an empty box 9"x6"x4", from Woot. By USPS, from Woot.com in Carrollton TX, brown corragated cardboard box, with ZIP USPS label, with the bottom retaped with 2" clear tape. Inside was a white corragated cardboard box, with a round adhesive seal , still intact, on the opening tab, one end of the box was crushed, and nothing was in the box.

What do I do now?

Ti

Got mine about a week ago.

Works great!

Sorry to read others are getting broken units.

For people having trouble charging via USB - try using a different USB port or even another computer. Some USB ports are not powered - or powered enough - for charging. And if your computer goes to "sleep" too quickly will cause it not to charge as well.

Hope this helps some of you.

Cheers, and take care,
