Put the binary from inside this archive in the root of your Clip and be done. No need for the Sansa Updater app. (If you don't know what this means, use the Sansa Updater app.)
Upgrading the firmware will reset your custom EQ settings - so write them down before upgrading!

United StatesLoaded the new firmware on my Clip using the Sansa Updater. All seemed to go just fine, no problems to report thus far. Podcast recognition is pretty sweet and seems to actually work.

Gilbert, United StatesCool, glad to hear it. I have a new Clip coming and it will probably have the old firmware. Upgrading will be the first thing I do with it.
