Just close the error box and go on your merry way. I get that error, too, but I don’t know why, since the sync operation seems to work perfectly. Just close the error box and go on your merry way.

Then you won't get the Python-pymtp error. I just ran into that this weekend when I had to replace the Clip with a Clip+. And believe me, setting it up with gPodder is nothing to the trouble of setting it up with Audible. Whoops, David, I meant to say you need to have the Sansa in MSC mode.

Still no luck. I get the message that I am missing the dependency python-pymtp. I think I will have to wait until this thing becomes idiot-proof. Thanks for trying to help me. Still no luck.

This is under Settings | USB Mode on the Sansa. Then go into gPodder's Preferences under Device. You want to choose "Filesystem-based MP3-player" and then select the drive letter and path you've assigned to your player. (I gave mine S for Sansa, so it's syncing to S:\Podcasts.) To find this, you have to connect your device and browse to the appropriate directory. I checked "Only sync tracks that have not been played" and "After synchronization, mark episode as played." But I don't think those matter as much as the part above. First, you have to have the Sansa in MTP mode. This is under Settings | USB Mode on the Sansa.
