 | SanDisk Sansa Clip+ 8 GB MP3 Player (Black)
Sansa clip plus, a good buy -- 2010-03-13
You know, for the price, this is an excellent player. It is very small so don't lose it in the piles around your house and car.
The only negative as I see it is the location of the place you press the clip open and where you place your thumb on the opposite side; right on the LCD screen, I have adjusted my tactics.
I have a 16 gB card in it so it's capacity is a little less than 24 gB. That's plenty of music. I just load music in, program random and let it rip. I have used the sleep timer and it would be nice if it was enabled at turn on so the battery wouldn't be used up accidentally, I would just turn it on when it truns off after an hour if I wish to continue listening.
The headphones that come with it are quite good, I prefer the in ear buds so I use the originals only at home, but they sound good.
I can easily recommend the Sansa Clip + for music listening, just don't lose it.
Perfect little player -- 2010-03-12
This is a perfect mp3/audio player. I had ipod earlier and wanted some small and lightweight player. This serves my purpose. Audio quality is good even at the max volume. I have added 2GB microsd card and it works flawlessly.
Overall good value and quality for money.
Some of the improvements that could be done are - put a cover over the sd card opening and have model come in more colors.

Good value, small screen - A decent mp3 player for the money -- 2010-03-13
Pros:
1. Small/light weight
2. Easy interface, "almost boring" - cnet reviews
3. Micro SD slot for extra storage
Cons:
1. Small screen - watching videos a chore
2. Windows XP did not recognize this device - SanDisk forums has a good thread
3. Did not come with a AC charger - Radio shack has one for $20
4. Sound volume is low. I suggest upgrading the ear buds - Apple ear buds are good
Conclusions
If this item was for me I would have purchased the iPod Touch 8GB.
SanDisk come through again -- 2010-03-12
Let me begin by telling you what I believe to be the worst thing about this mp3 player: The designers had the audacity to not include a lanyard hole. Yep that's right, the worst that I can come up with is that you can't use a lanyard with this player. Other than that, I have nothing but high praise.
To be honest, I've been blowing this player off for quite some time now because it's, like... Short, squat and kind of resembles an iPod. Call me prejudiced, but I just really don't like iPods. It just seemed to me SanDisk was purposefully attempting to mimic the form of the iPod.
My last mp3 player was a Sansa e260 which I dearly loved. There's absolutely nothing wrong with it, other than discovering that 4GB was too small. I realize that I could have expanded the players capacity with a removable micro SD card, but I recall reading a forum posting which mentioned that putting an SD or micro SD card in your device would cause a greater drain on the battery. I tested this with several other devices that I own and found that it was not necessarily true in all cases. Unfortunately, having a micro SD card in my Sansa e260 did indeed cause the battery to drain at a greater rate.
Perhaps it will be different with this device. Once I finish filling the internal memory, I intend to add external memory and see if this player suffers from the same problem. I certainly hope that it doesn't because I have about 100 more CDs to rip.
Anyway, I happened to be in one of the big box stores last week and had the opportunity to handle this player. Once I got past the "It resembles an iPod" thing, I began to see its merits instead of judging it through prejudiced eyes, which I'm really glad that I did.
This player is a fraction of the weight of my e260 and about half the thickness. I admit, having the headphone jack on the bottom seemed kind of odd to me but the more I use it the more I realize that this was a good design change. Another improvement over the e260 is that the thumb wheel used to be surrounded by four buttons. On this player the buttons have been integrated into the thumb wheel itself which allows for a more intuitive, less clumsy operation.
The thumb wheel is free spinning; that is to say, it doesn't "ratchet". This, too, helps to give the unit a more sophisticated feel. I understand some other reviewers concerns about how easy the thumb wheel is to turn considering how much I've had to manhandle some of the other devices I have just to get them to operate. With a deft touch, you have precision control and with a little practice you will find yourself zipping through menus and settings with greater ease than you've ever experienced before.
With my old player, I never even truly understood what the lock function was for as I never had any need for it. With this one however, I can see right away that I will be needing it to prevent jarring changes in volume as I am moving around with the player in my pocket. I also like how the designers incorporated the lock function with the power switch.
You can read the technical specifications and the description of the functions until your heart's content but words don't do justice to this device. It's almost a work of art. Coupling this player with my recently purchased earphones (which I reviewed) makes this one of my better investments.
My experience with this device consists of using a Dell computer running Windows 7 with Rhapsody (to which I have a subscription) as my music player of choice. I protect my devices with Zagg screen protectors and store them in Case Logic cases. And when I purchase removable media, it is of course, SanDisk.
Oh, just one more thing... if you tend to be short tempered, get a friend to get it out of the package for you. This thing is better protected than the Constitution of the United States. Seriously.

Love the Sansa Clip+ 4 -- 2010-03-10
Small product with big capacity and great sound. I use it mostly to listen to audible books and newspapers and I have no problem moving back and forth to listen again to anything I want contrary to someone's earlier comments.
My only problem was I thought it wasn't working initially but found the Sansa player and [...] were just not compatible with only version 9 of windows media player installed on my computer. Easy solution was for me to just run the free update to version 10 of windows media player. I also thought Rhapsody would be of some benefit but have found I don't need/use it however, if you want to buy music it appears cheaper than some other sources.
Its a real bargain for what it does and an excellent replacement (10 times lighter and displays the book titles and progress) if you are still using the old Audible Otis to listen to books, etc.
mp3 -- 2010-03-09
I like that is smaller than my old one and lighter, but does not seem to hold charge as long. Since the product is much smaller I assume it is due to having a smaller battery.

I gave my Ipod away -- 2010-03-13
After having Itunes erase my entire library of personally-owned music off my Ipod Nano (all I wanted to do was create a new workout playlist.....) I came to Amazon, read the reviews on this great little Clip+, and ordered one. Loading music is so easy and intuitive (unlike the Ipod and its neccessary Itunes software) - and it *syncs* - doesn't automatically assume I'm trying to pirate music just because I want to change something.... By using Microsoft Media player, I can save all my music to my Sandisk flashdrive, also - something I had attempted to do with Itunes but it wouldn't let me.
The sound is nice and rich; I like having the equalizer, shuffle, and "song delete" features right on the player; and of course I'm simply blown away by its tiny size! Thank you, Sandisk, for creating such an easy-to-use MP3 player!!!
Misleading Ad -- 2010-03-10
This device does not support .WAV files for music. It only supports .WAV files for voice recordings and audiobooks. It does NOT support .WAV files from music CDs. had i known this I would not have purchased it.

The product is good in all aspects except one. -- 2010-03-13
I like the product although I only owned it for a day. The recording functionality is awesome, the display is cool, every thing is good about it otherwise but one flaw for me made me return it. This is just a suggestion if you are thinking about buying one. If you are like me all the time on the move, skiing or jugging and you think about putting this player in your packet, every time it moves around will turn the screen on b/c the wheel is so easy to turn. Locking the device doesn't run of this function. This drains the batter much faster then needed, and increases the run on duty cycles.
nice small player -- 2010-03-12
This has been a great MP3 player so far. I really like the color display screen and the size of it. I had a Dell Jukebox before and it had tons more memory but was really bulky and you had to have specific software in order to download music. I really like the ease of adding music on this one. I did have a problem with it when trying to delete a song directly off of it, the screen froze and wouldn't do anything. I finally was able to get it to turn off and once I started it back up it was fine. I just delete songs off directly from my laptop now and so far no more issues.

SanDisk Sansa Clip 2GB MP3 Player -- 2010-03-12
Good durable MP3 player. Have had this model for 2 years and it works great! Bought this one as a gift fo someone because I was happy with this product.
Compact size with excellent performance! -- 2010-03-09
I purchased this product after reviewing good and bad reviews from others (who doesn't?). Most of the bad reviews seemed relatively simple and avoidable (broken clip, etc.), and there were many more good reviews that were convincing, so I thought it sounded like a good purchase. After purchasing the product, it arrived very quickly (within a week). I uploaded a few songs that would be inspirational for a short workout, and I noticed that the product came with the battery fully charged! I appreciated that as much as a full tank of gas in a new car. I went to give the product a test run over my lunch break, and I was very impressed. The clip holds very well, the MP3 player is small and unintrusive, the ear buds deliver impressive sound and are COMFORTABLE (I have had issues with ear buds in the past), and the product performs just as advertised. Imagine that! It's still working just as good 34 days later. I think SanDisk did a wonderful job with this product. If you're thinking about buying it, and you don't like wasting your money (this sounds a lot like me), then I think you just might find it to be a worthy investment. I hope this helps...

Nice product - IF IT WORKED! -- 2010-03-13
SAVE YOUR MONEY! I've bought two of these things and both times they quit working within a week. It may be the USB cord that's faulty as both fried the second time they were being charged. It's not the computer's fault since I've never had a failure charging any other products, including a larger Sansa MP3 player I'm very happy with. The first time this product "fried", it also took the USB port with it.
Love it! -- 2010-03-11
I have another mp3 player, but had to buy this one after buying one for my daughter. It's so easy to use, holds so many songs and the clip makes it super convienient.

Sansa Clip+ 2 -- 2010-03-12
Its not quite as easy to create playlists on this device as it may be on an Ipod, but if you are opposed to being a slave to Apple, this is the way to go. Two small cons: 1. When using FM radio mode, the volume does not decrease to a minimum volume, even though the volume bar shows that it is; rather the minimum "true" volume is probably about 25% of the max. volume. This apparently is a known issue with the San Disk (Sansa) engineers, and according to info on the Sansa users forum, is expected to be delt with on the next software update. 2. When the battery meter goes down to about 50% capacity, the remaining capacity diminishes disproportionally rapidly (2 hours max).
GREAT MP3 player and a GREAT price! -- 2010-03-12
This is my first MP3 player and I LOVE it. So small and portable. Easy to use and SO reasonably priced! The sound quality is amazing. The battery life is not quite as long as I would like, but I really cannot complain about it. I have a car charger for it so I can charge it on the road.

Can't live without it -- 2010-02-28
OK, so my title is probably melodramatic but I love my Sansa Clip! This is my 3rd Sansa clip although my children have other various Sansa models that we also like. (The 1st one still works fine but the clip broke & I need the clip. I should mention that it broke under extreme circumstances, not everyday wear & tear. The 2nd one was stolen so I had to come buy my 3rd one recently.) I primarily listen to audiobooks (from [...]) while I cook, clean or do laundry, etc and having the clip is so handy. I clip it to the neck of my shirt and can easily access the player if I need to pause it. I will say that the headphones are useless to us. They don't fit comfortably for any single person in our house (from toddler to adult) so we just don't use them. The Sansa Clip is easy to use. It's compatible with [...] but I can also easily upload music.
Great! -- 2010-02-01
Purchased this sansa clip for my child. It's wonderful and easy to use. Only good things to say!

Better than an ipod -- 2010-03-12
Let me keep this simple; the price is right, it's very easy to use, I only downloaded one program and I can quickly and easily upload mp3. It's perfect in size, very slim and durable, plenty of settings you can change, plenty of storage capacity. I've had mine over a year with no battery issues, no playback issues, etc. Great investment!
Great value -- 2010-03-05
This is my third for my family.SOOOOOOOOO much beter than ipod.Only negative is lack of acessories.
