SanDisk Sansa Clip 4GB MP3 Player

Perfect size, great player for the price!

Strengths: Size, radio feature, ease in use, the clip is very strong, very durable product, sound quality is great!

Weakness: Its difficult to add your music from itunes to this player. We were able to download a program to convert our songs - it was just tough in the beginning.

I love the size and this thing is durable. I have had mine for about 6 months and I use it on my bike commute to work everyday. I have dropped it several times and its not even scratched! I buying one today for my husband because he likes mine so much. The size is great! It clips onto everything. I can hook onto my bike, my pants, my hat, whatever I am wearing it clips on and stays attached...

I love the size and this thing is durable. I have had mine for about 6 months and I use it on my bike commute to work everyday. I have dropped it several times and its not even scratched! I buying one today for my husband because he likes mine so much. The size is great! It clips onto everything. I can hook onto my bike, my pants, my hat, whatever I am wearing it clips on and stays attached throughout my activity. This is especially important to me because I could never clip my ipod to my pants when I would run. It would pull them down. I also love the radio feature which my ipod never had. If you are ready to make the switch from ipods, I would highly recommend this product!

Great Player for the Price!

Strengths: Small, removable clip, decent battery life, FM tuner, light, cheap!

Weakness: Cheap headphones, battery not "15 hours", plastic feels cheap-ish, screen hard to see in sunlight.

I needed a small portable player for working out and running. I don't need extra junk like a screen, a billion GB to store a hundred thousand songs, or the sexiest device alive. My choices were the Sansa Clip and the iPod Shuffle. Yes, the Clip has a screen and is about 175% the size of the Shuffle, but I opted to buy the Clip because it was cheaper than the lowest-end Shuffle. I also didn't want...

I needed a small portable player for working out and running. I don't need extra junk like a screen, a billion GB to store a hundred thousand songs, or the sexiest device alive. My choices were the Sansa Clip and the iPod Shuffle. Yes, the Clip has a screen and is about 175% the size of the Shuffle, but I opted to buy the Clip because it was cheaper than the lowest-end Shuffle. I also didn't want to use iTunes, not did I want to have to convert my music to MP3s, which is what the Shuffle can only play (sure, AAC too and other useless file-types). All my music are in WMA format because of my music subscription service. The Clip is actually compatible with subscription music! It also has a radio tuner for situations where I want to listen to the TV at the gym. The screen is definitely hard to see in direct sunlight, but I don't need it at all.

There have been a few firmware updates to the Clip, which apparently has better shuffling capabilities and other performance updates. Definitely check out the Amazon reviews, but also check out the players first-hand in stores! It took me a long time to decide between the Clip and the Shuffle, until I found a 4GB Clip for $50. I'm glad to say I am very happy with my decision!

Sansa Clip

Strengths: Good sound, lightweight, good size.

Weakness: Initial setup wasn't straight forward.

I like the size and sound of this player. I've used the Clip while jogging, and it can hold a lot of songs. The negative I had was when first connecting to my PC, it wouldn't recognize the player as a drive. I had to set the USB mode to MSC for it to finally show up.

Drag & Drop Inop!

Strengths: FM radio OK packing a headache to open!

Weakness: Can't add MP3 WMA or Wav files to unit from PC via USB.

Can't add MP3 WMA or Wav files to unit from PC via USB.

Returned for cash back as I needed a player the worked for my vacation TRIP (NO PUN)!

SanDisk Sansa Clip (4GB, silver)
