MP3 player compatability

So I recently got a Sansa clip as a gift... put all my music in there and plugged it in... and nadda... it gave an error saying that it wasnt recognized ... or no files existed.... this is in a 2010 SS ... the Sansa was this years model...


any ideas?

I never saw what Chevy put out as to the compatability list for the USB connector....

I've seen you tubes of Ipod's connecting.. but nothing else..

does the sansa act like a USB thumb drive when connected to anything? the mp3 player must act like a flash drive for it to work and even then its not guaranteed

it tries to I think... it searches for it.. but then errors ... says there are no files... which is odd.. because my Ipod did the same thing... and I know i've seen people connect right to it.. but I experimented and tried a regular thumb drive and it worked lol... so Im like... wtf... cause the two I spent more money didnt work...

I was curious this also. I have 8gig Zune HD. When I connect it via a USB cable I get the same error messages. Did GM ever put out an firmware update for their head units to recognize other MP3 players beside the ipod?
