 Sandisk Sansaclip June 30, 2008
Have bought two for family members and recently bought the 4 GB for myself. Much better than the ipod shuffle because you can choose from your playlists, albums or artists. You can also see your selection. Very easy to download your music and its size is practical to use when you workout. Headbuds are not that great. Other than that cheaper than ipod and a better product.

Con's - Nothing major, all fixable.
The headphones included don't take advantage of the sound quality this thing puts out. When you hook it up to a car the volume is low compared to other players so you have to raise the car's volume a lot higher.
Pro's -
Hands down the best sound I have gotten from an Mp3 player, the bass response is just amazing. I bought some Skullcandy 15 buck headphones that insert into the ear and its like having a subwoofer in your ear. Not an annoying bass, its a smooth responsive bass.
Its small cute and tough as nails. I take it on long hikes, runs and work (construction.) The battery life is OVER 15 hours of continuous use. Oh and mp3s are coming in higher bit-rate so get a higher gig one cause the new mp3s will eat your space. A cave man could use this thing, display is bright and buttons are responsive, menus are easy to navigate. Get one.
Tiny player... that Rocks! June 23, 2008

This little player was a big surprise to me. Have you ever seen a super tiny electronic device that seems to do more than is possible for it's tiny size? Well, this certainly fits into that category. To illustrate how tiny this thing is, the size of the circular dial on the front of it (the blue glowing circle) is slightly smaller than a quarter. The player itself is super thin too. So here are a few more reasons why this player is amazing:
Pros:
-Super Tiny and Thin
-Sound quality is great
-Built in Radio
-Built in Microphone
-Built in Clip (hence the name) and perfect for jogging
-Super bright 2 color Led Screen (it's probably organic LED)
-Plug & Play (at least it was for me)... just like a USB drive
-Long lasting internal battery (my guess is at least 8 hours play time)
-Charges through standard Mini-usb to USB cable.
-Amazing price for all the features it includes.
Cons:
I honestly don't have anything bad to say about this player, and I swear that I don't work for Sandisk. I kind of collect MP3 players and also own the Creative Zen Vision and Zen Muvo^2.
Conclusion: If you are thinking about buying an Ipxd shuffle or replacing your shuffle, this player is perfect for your needs and is so much better than a shuffle. It is easier to use, has more features, and sounds better! Not to mention it also has a LED screen. Plus, you don't have to deal with Itunes. Just plug this baby in, drag some songs from your computer and you're done. And yes, it does have a "Shuffle" play mode which includes "Repeat tracks" or "Play once" options. This little player really is a marvel of modern tech... I hope someday they will sell one with 60GB of memory. Now that... would Rock! For now, they only come in 1GB, 2GB, and 4GB... I think.

I bought my SanDisk mp3 player to have something to listen to on my morning walks but find it also works great when I need to get to sleep and my husband is snoring big time. The radio works great and was very easy to tune to my favorite stations. I was a bit apprehensive about loading music (thought I'd have to get the grandkids to show me how) but I learned in just a few minutes. Have also found downloading from Amazon to be a snap. It's great for finding that one song on an old album that no one else ever heard of.
Glad I bought it in red - makes it easier to find.
Some have complained abut audio quality but unless you're a really sensitive audiophile I think you'll find it's great.
 Great price, great player! June 15, 2008

I purchased this 1 month ago, mostly to listen to audio books during car commute and while doing chores. I listen to both Audible files that I buy, as well as Overdrive media files, which I digitally borrow from the local library.
I've always transferred Audible files (proprietary .aa format) to MP3 players using Audible Manager. When I first took the Sansa Clip for a test drive, my older version of Audible Manager failed to recognize it, despite using the automatic update feature of Audible's software. However, after uninstalling the older version, then installing the latest Audible Mgr, the Sansa Clip was recognized and file transfer went smoothly. Audible files are automatically transferred into the "Audiobooks" folder on the Clip. For transferring Overdrive Media files (.odm) from the library, I use Overdrive software, and have not had any problems. However, the .odm files are automatically transferred into the general "Music" folder on the player.
For audiobook junkies bookmarking is important, especially if you listen to a few books at a time. It's important to be able to bookmark and be able to switch between books without losing your place on any of them. However, the Sansa Clip does not offer a bookmarking feature on its own, so the ability to bookmark is dependent on the file format itself. Playback for Audible's .aa files is convenient because this proprietary format bookmarks itself at the place a file was paused, and will remember that place whether you switch between files or turn the player off. On the other hand, Overdrive's .odm files will only remember the last place paused if you do NOT switch to a new file. If you pause and then switch to any other file, you WILL lose your place. (This was also the case on my older MP3 player, a Sansa M250). You can, however, pause a .odm book and then turn off the device without losing your place. When you restart the Sansa Clip, it always begins on the last file played, at the last place played.
A problem I encountered on the first test drive on the Sansa Clip was with fast forwarding: it wouldn't fast forward within a file. The player would fast forward about 20 seconds into a file, then jump to the next file altogether. This happened to all file formats, both music or book. This problem was quickly fixed via a firmware update from Sandisk's website (had to install the Sandisk Sansa updater software). No more fast forward problems since.
As far as sound, it sounds great, way better than the M250 (which I used to think was pretty decent). The included earbuds are OK for books, but for music I think a nicer quality set of earbuds would definitely let you take advantage of the great sound from this player.
Although the face has the appearance of a scroll wheel, the buttons are actually hard-click buttons. For me this is a plus, but it may be too low-tech for some. The screen graphics also have a low-tech appearance, very pixel-y. Not quite Atari-looking, but definitely NOT hi-def. Unimportant to me, but if you need cool-looking graphics, look elsewhere. What IS cool-looking on this player is the red color, which is much darker than the picture shows; it 's almost metallic. I put a silicone skin on my player, so the color's obscured, but again, appearance may matter to some.
The small size is so convenient! It is 2x the length of an Ipod Shuffle, and thicker as well, BUT...it's still so small! The shuffle wasn't even an option for me because I need a screen on my player.
The Sansa Clip must be charged through a USB port using the included mini-USB cable, which can be inconvenient, and for which I took off 1 star. After all, if you're going to offer a rechargeable product, you should offer the most convenient way to do this -- through a wall outlet. It's a lot easier to take a charger on vacation than lug a laptop you have no intention of using except to recharge your MP3 player! I purchased a kit that included the silicone skin, an AC charger and a DC/car charger, to give myself more options. I haven't tested the battery all the way to empty, so I don't know the actual battery life.
I haven't had any problems with the plastic clip so far. It seems neither particularly weak nor sturdy, but I do try to be careful anyway.
Considering the price of this player -- 2GB of memory for much less $$ than a 1GB no-screen Shuffle -- it's a great deal. In fact I'm sorely tempted to pick up the 4GB Clip. Hmmm....
