Sansa Clip

bigangus

Hello
I have a Sansa Clip, and have downloaded some Flash videos that it will not play. So is there a simple solution to this?
Thanks in advance:beer:

Have you ever played any form of video files on the sansa clip before. I thought the clip was purely a mp3 player. I know the sansa clip zip has a colour screen, but that is for album art only (yes it does display all the usual track info and time)

Hi Neilwoods
Yes it is only an MP3 player. so i suppose what i am asking for is some way to convert the flash videos so that it will play on an MP3 player?

Tou could use a program called VLC, it plays practically all video and audio formats, but it will also convert flash to mp3. Never used to convert myself though, so not to sure how to set up.

But if you still know where you got the flash video from, then try this site.

http://www.flv2mp3.com/

Just copy the the url address from where the flash video it, press convert to mp3, once it is done, you can then download the mp3.

Okay if you're talking about converting it to play on an mp3 player (aka an AUDIO player) and still being able to watch it, no chance. it's an audio player, and miracles can't be performed that way.

If you're talking about downloading the likes of music off you tube, stripping the music out to convert and only play the music yeah you can do that, but it's just the same as stealing music from file sharing places.

and...
I'm not gunna say at all how to do it.

Just Google strip music from you tube videos and if you run Chrome you can install a download button on to the you tube screen with the choice of Mp3 or Mp4 download.
Save and transfer to Media Player and create a playlist, plug in Sansa and synchronize hey presto sorted.
