I don't have a sansa so I cannot answer the question affirmatively. It the width of your sansa is about the same as an Ipod or Iphone, it will work.

I did not work on my Sansa so I tossed it in the garbage. Got Anker® 1A USB Wall Charger Home and works great. Needs a mini usb cable

Thanks for your response, but I do not understand what MSC or MTP modes are or how to access them. :( Do I open windows media player and then plug in my sansa? Is there a step by step instruction anywhere for people who are totally computer and mp3 illiterate?

I really couldn't tell you. I don't have a Sansa Clip. I'm using them on my MBP and it sounds excellent. I'm enjoying listening to music again.

I just use the memory stick so I don't have to take my player with me or charge it. All the controls work with the stick. If you are worried about the battery life just buy another battery like I did or get a little battery supply like the Anker to recharge it. If I want to play certain songs then I use the Sansa. But I don't see no advantages except the playlist.

I don't - I use the computer for charging, but a computer is needed to download the video files anyway.

Yes you can charge without a computer if you plug the wall transformer plug in.

I don't have a SD card with that much memory. I don't see why it would not work. The songs go into the Disk so it doesn't affect the SanDisk Sansa Clip itself.

No, maximum supported external microSD/microSDHC memory card capacity for the Sansa Clip Zip is 32GB, and it must be formatted as FAT32. See user manual pg 27.

http://mp3support.sandisk.com/sansa/UserManual/CLIP/CLIP_UM_English.pdfHere is the manual for the SanDisk Sansa clip MP3 player. There are instructions on how to create your playlist on your computer using Windows Media Player and then transfer them to your Sansa.

These Pioneer speakers connect to the computer by regular USB cable and the speakers are not self-powered from batteries; they get the sound signal from the computer and power from the one USB cable. I am not an expert and only own an older SANSA MP3 player. My SANSA's sound output is not supported by the mini USB connection -- Sound out is only thru a headphone jack. So I highly doubt if they would work with mp3 players that are like mine. Maybe others have more information.

Yes, you can load music onto the Sansa Clip from a Mac. The software Sandisk supplies does not work on Mac, so updating firmware or reformatting might get tricky for us on Macs. But even without software, the Clip mounts on the Mac desktop fine. Drag-an-drop MP3 files into the music folder on the Clip and song titles show and they play correctly. Great player for the money.

I have a Sansa Fuze and yes, it does charge while playing. I am not able to tell you, if this dock works with the sansa clip or not.

No you can't unless you have a small usb connection attached to an electrical plugin like some phones have. Otherwise you will have to use a computer to charge it.

You cannot when charging from a computer (that's all I use, so I assumed....). But from external power source it looks to be a yes. (sorry folks)
