There may be differences between a clip plus and a clip zip.

Here's my fixed.cfg file, copied from the .rockbox folder.
A few comments.  I believe that rockbox will create a config file for
you which you can copy to fixed.cfg
To use this file, just cut it into fixed.cfg

The big change you would want is to have the files and folders read what
they are. To do that you need to create a file for each item beyond the
main menu.  A text to speech application will do that. Or perhaps you
can use the tags on mp3 files. From page 77 of the Clip plus manual.

Use File .talk Clips. This option turns on the use of .talk clips for
files.
On. Use special pre-recorded files for each file. This functions the
same as for directories except that the .talk clip file must have the
same name as the described file with an extra .talk extension (e.g.
Punkadiddle.mp3 would require a file called Punkadiddle.mp3.talk).

Off. No checking is made for file .talk clips; they are not used even if
present. This can reduce disk activity. Use of a .talk clip takes
precedence over other filename voicing. Otherwise (e.g. if a .talk cl

Or you could have the words spelled out. This is discussed starting on
page 76 of the manual.. I only get the front menu and battery level
announced. This config file is optimized for podcasts and audiobooks. 
For clip plus, the details of the config are in Appendix E of the
manual, starting at page 195.  You want to change the talk options in
the config file. They are set out on page 197. Here they are

talk dir  off, number, spell
talk dir clip off, on
talk file off, number, spell
talk file clip off, on
talk filetype off, on
talk menu off, on




Here is the fixed.cfg file I use.
