The problem is that the default firmware does not allow users to mount the drive like a regular USB drive. There are two options: [[https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/musicvideophotos/C/music-portable.html|use MTP mode]], or install regular MSC USB mode support. To install MSC USB mode support: 1. Back up any previously installed audio files, as these will not play. 1. On the Sansa Clip, click Menu > Settings > Format. 1. Upgrade the firmware according to [[http://forums.sandisk.com/t5/Clip-Clip/Sansa-Clip-Firmware-01-01-35-amp-02-01-35-Release/td-p/144965|these instructions at the SanDisk forums]]. 1. Restart. 1. On the Sansa Clip, click Menu > Settings > USB > MSC. 1. Transfer audio files. 1. Test. This firmware also installs [[https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats|OGG]] playback support. In some versions of Ubuntu, it seems that a service called "gphoto2 volume manager" gets in the way of successfully mounting a Sansa Clip. This is still the case in Ubuntu 10.10. If this bug bites you, try the workaround ([[http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=7173964&postcount=3|source]]): {{{ sudo killall gvfs-gphoto2-volume-monitor sudo chmod -x /usr/lib/gvfs/gvfs-gphoto2-volume-monitor }}}
