 Gift for my baby July 20, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I ordered this for my daughter's 13th birthday to update her old 1GB. She always had to "switch out" her songs. Now all of her music fits and it's easy to add music to it. She listens to the radio occasionally and it sounds fine. The only thing is, it doesn't seem that the battery lasts that long but again, you're talking about the constant use of a teenager. but she loves the color and love the whole thing so I'll say it's a wonderful product. Hasn't frozen, lost music, etc. Headphones that come with it sound pretty good and havent' had to replace them yet (that's a first for us!) So I'll say the product is great!
Wonderful little mp3 July 18, 2008
One of my co-workers bought this player and brought it to work. I was amazed @ how small it was. When I listened to it the sound was amazing. I have an IPOD, 30 GB, but decided to buy this one because of the size and the power it packs. It was well worth my money. It's plug and play and very easy to upload music.
 Bad battery July 17, 2008

I purchased this for my sister as a gift (she loves these electronic gadgets, but she is still in college so she can't afford to buy them for herself.) At first she loved it. She went on about how great all the features are. Then about 3 months after I gave it to her the battery stopped holding a charge. Great item if you get one with a good battery, but based on this experience I won't be purchasing an item from SanDisk again. I'll spend a little more on her birthday next year and spring for an iPod.
Great player, upgrade the firmware July 15, 2008

This is a great little player. Good sound (don't use the included headphones though), FM radio, and with a firmware upgrade, it is even better! Works well with Ubuntu Linux, and again, even better with the firmware upgrade!
I highly suggest you upgrade the firmware. You either need to do this in Windows or do a search for the download to do it in Linux. Just download the zip file, extract, and put the .bin file in the player root directory. With the upgrade Linux will recognize the player as a music player instead of just a flash, and will open up on a music player. Additionally it will add added audiobook and podcast support and folders. It will also allow the player to recognize .ogg files, which is a great addition for even better quality music files!
Radio is a great feature but reception is a little weak. That is common among MP3 players, as you really don't have room for an antenna. Great buy for the money. Don't waste money on that product from the fruit company. You will get better options and quality from this player, which is less expensive!
Oh, and transfer speeds (drag and drop files in Linux) are VERY fast. Nice that the transfer speeds are good, so you don't have to waste time when swapping out your files.
Sansa Clip 2GB July 15, 2008
Great small player for the gym or exercising outdoors. Easy to clip on shirt or shorts rather than wearing a bulky armband.
Upgrade the headphones and you are ready to go.
