Clip zip renaming songs

[pieman445]

I recently got a SanDisk clip zip to replace my Sansa 240m which finally gave out (that thing was crazy!)

Anyways, everything on it seems fine except one odd thing that I noticed on it. Whenever I put on a song that begins with the word "the", it renames it to not have the "the" in it. For example, the song "the trap" was renamed "trap".

I dunno if this is a feature I accidentally activated, or something with WMP, but if anyone knows why this is happening, or how to disable it, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks!

Here is your answer......read this post. http://www.anythingbutipod.com/forum...30&postcount=8

Basically, it was designed to be a feature, not a problem.....some people like it, and some people don't.

Okay, thanks! That probably means that it cannot be disabled too easily, right?

I guess you would have to go to an earlier firmware version (available in that thread I linked to before) to do so. But be warned, one of the early ones would emit a loud blast of white noise occasionally at track changes...not pleasant if your volume was cranked up!

Okay, thanks for the help!

You can also try running rockbox firmware as an alternative, read up on it on link under my sig. I've never had a problem it displaying albums/tracks how I ripped & tagged them.
