 Best bang for your buck! July 4, 2008
I am so happy with this cute little mp3 player! I didn't like the idea of paying more money for a certain brand, so I searched around and found this little Sansa clip. After reading the reviews on Amazon and other tech sites(check out the Sansa Clip on youtube) I was convinced so I got the 4GB silver Clip. The sound quality is absolutely amazing and it is so easy to use!
My father-in-law got a Shuffle a few weeks before I got my clip and he's still struggling with how to load songs onto it, whereas I simply drag and drop the songs I want onto the little Sansa icon. It comes with a free 30 day trial of Rhapsody, which I am using, but you don't even need it. Simply use whatever media program you already have on your computer. And unlike the Shuffle, I have a screen on mine so that I can change to a different artist or playlist if I want to, or change the settings.
One things I learned the hard way is that the clip will only charge while it's on, so I got concerned that it wasn't holding a charge. Just make sure it's on while you're charging it. You might also want to look into getting the protective cover/charger bundle. As soon as I got the cover on mine I dropped it, but there was no damage at all. On the other hand, if you have a charger for a Motorola Razor it will work with the Sansa Clip. And if earbuds hurt your ears, like they do mine, you might want to invest in good pair of earplugs. I got the JVC Air Cushions and they are amazing!
All in all I would highly recommend this Sansa Clip to anyone who just wants to have a good mp3 player but doesn't want to spend a whole lot of money to get one. And if you're not too tech-savy, no problem with this little thing. The screen is great, the AM-FM tuner is great, the sound quality is phenomenal, and the price is just right.
 Great for running July 3, 2008
After all this time, I've finally hopped on the MP3 player bandwagon. Here were my criteria for this purchase:
-Drag and drop file transfer. I didn't want to be tied to any proprietary program, particularly one cluttered with DRM nonsense. Check. The supplied USB cable is pretty short, so I use the one that came with my camera. Someone said the cable is proprietary. It's obviously not.
-Format compatibility, especially MP3 and WMA. Check.
-Compatible with running. Check. The Sansa Clip is small and extremely light. And the nifty clip obviates the need for an armband or sewn-in pocket. Also, battery life is well up to long runs. As for durability, the player seems sturdy enough overall, but I bought a silicone cover as insurance against the inevitable moisture problem. So far so good.
-At least 4 GB capacity. Check. I'm glad this version came out because I really like the convenience of loading my whole song collection and forgetting about it.
-Good sound quality. Sort of. Most reviewers rave about the sound quality. I don't think I qualify as an audiophile, but I find my music lacks the detail I really enjoy hearing. The bass is a bit muddy, and the highs are bit weak. Customizing the EQ helps some, as does using better headphones or speakers, but not as much as I would have liked. I will add that I have no experience with other MP3 players, so perhaps this middling audio is par for the course.
-Headphones? Related to the above paragraph, people often say you should replace the stock headphones right away. Maybe that's true for the more substantial players, but I don't think this unit's processor is up to the task of producing excellent sound through any device. I've experimented with a pair of decent Sennheiser headphones and my desktop Creative Gigaworks speakers (which are surprisingly good) to little avail. That said, I might buy a pair of inexpensive sport-oriented earbuds to address the occasional slippage I experience.
-A display, any display. Check. I disqualified the iPod Shuffle from the get-go because of iTunes, but the lack of a display certainly would have done it, too. The Clip's screen is basic and easy to read in all conditions except bright sunlight.
-Good control interface. Apple does this one better, but the Clip's works quite well all the same. The on/off slider could be a little easier to use, although I do like the lock feature.
-Stability. Pretty good. The player locked up once and came back to life after a simple reset. I updated the bios (or whatever it's called), and it hasn't caused any trouble since. On that note, the update was extremely smooth. Kudos for that.
I'm pretty happy overall. I'd buy the Sansa Clip again for running and piddling around the house. For occasions when really good audio is more important, like flying, I'd invest in a more robust unit.
I like it July 3, 2008
This is a nice product for the money. Pretty sturdy and really small. This is the second one that I have bought for our family. I don't have any complaints - yet!
Tiny player... that Rocks! June 23, 2008
3 out of 4 found this review helpful
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.
 Problem loading music June 18, 2008

This product never came with a disk that would enable me to download music. Amazon abdicated responsibility and referred me to the manufacturer who said they would send a disk. They never did. The gimmick is that you have to go to rhapsody to pay to subscribe to download music. You're better off buying this product at Best Buy where they do provide software disk.
