 Sansa Clip 1 GB - Great MP3 Value and Performance! November 21, 2007

The Sandisk Sansa Clip 1GB is a great value MP3 player. It has the same capacity as the iPod Shuffle at $35. It also has a screen, FM Tuner, voice recording and more. You can get the 2GB version for $25-40 more.
Pros -
+ good sound
+ nice capacity for a decent price
+ light-weight
+ FM tuner (20 Presets)
+ voice recording
+ nice design with color options
+ Nice format compatibility (MP3, DRM WMA, WMA, Audible)
+ USB 1.1 and 2.0 connectivity
+ Can be used as a USB drive / mass storage
+ Can sync music with drag & drop or via software
+ 15 hours battery life is better than Creative Clip Plus
Cons
- larger than the 2nd and 3rd generation iPod shuffles
- for just $20 more you get the 2GB Clip with added features
The new Sandisk Sansa Clip has the advantages of the iPod shuffle with some of the compatibility, feature, and price benefits of other MP3 players. Unlike the Sansa Express, which you can plug in directly into your USB port, the clip uses a standard USB B cable.
The Clip is definitely a little bigger than the iPod shuffle, but not by much. It has a great feel and a nicer clip. It is also priced VERY well for the holidays. It fills the market for a starter MP3, workout unit, or gift.
The rechargable battery seems better than the Creative Zen Stone Plus and gives you a respectable 15 hours. The sound is nice. The earbuds are passable for beginners but most people will replace them. As for durability, only time will tell; so far it's holding up nicely.
The Zen Clip also has a larger 2GB option. For those needing more space, you will have to explore the Creative Zen, Sandisk Sansa View or new iPod Nano. All of those units have higher price tags.

This thing is amazingly small and light. The display is not much, but it will hold 3 lines and is well lit and easy to read. The menu system is good and lets you scroll through songs by title, artist and album. It uses a standard mini-USB for data transfer and charging. It requires no software or drivers as it uses Windows Media Player to sync songs.
This player has a few things greatly improved over their older ones (like the Sansa e260 I own). It has about the best sound quality out of any MP3 player I have seen. It also has a nice seemless quick fade from one song to the next. I use my MP3 players for listeming to audio books in MP3 format. Some of these are 20+ hours long. My old player took forever to fastforward through, about a 20:1 fast forward, so yes, fast forwarding 10 hours would take about 30 minutes. Now this one has a progressively accelerated fast forward that can run through hours of MP3s in 10 seconds. Also when you turn off the MP3 player it will start back at the exact spot you left off and if it was playing when you turned it off then it will start playing automatically when you turn it back on. It also start up in only a few seconds.
The only issues I see is lack of colors on the 1GB version and maybe a few more colors overall would be nice. The only bug I found is that it does not change the hours on the time elapsed counter and leaves it at 0, but the progression bar is still right.
I was so impressed with the 2GB pink one that I got for my girlfriend that I got a 2GB black one for myself... yes to replace my more expensive 4GB Sansa e260. If I could give it 6 stars I would.
So cool, and so small November 12, 2007

We bought one of these for a Christmas gift, and a second one for my wife. What I really like about it is that you just drag and drop your MP3s into the Sansa music folder. No special software needed.
Sounds great, although we used earbuds we already owned, rather than the ones included.
It is slightly bigger than an IPod shuffle, but it has a very clear OLED display. Makes it easy to select the songs.
The best small player November 1, 2007

I have the 2gb version of the Clip. I own other mp3 players but this is by far the best. Few players have the features of the Clip for such a reasonable price.
Pros: It's small- the size of a matchbox- and easily and firmly clips to shirt or pants. The controls are very easy to use and the screen is easy to see. The sound quality is very good when used with better headphones than those that came with it. You can play and record from FM radio. And, most importantly for me, it works with Audible downloads.
It also looks good. I have the red one and many people have asked about it and where to buy one.
Cons: The sound quality of the voice recorder could use improvement. And, as someone mentioned, there's a glitch in the counter that impacts files that are over an hour in length other than Audible files. Supposedly Sandisk is working on this and there will be a firmware adjustment at some point.
For anyone who wants a player with storage of 2gb or less, the Clip is the best available.
 Somewhat Disappointed November 24, 2007

When I first got this item I was really impressed and thought I had made a really excellant purchase. The item is very attractive with an excellant design, and despite what some others have said I found the sound quality to be good. I also found it to be too loud, however, and since the device only allows for "normal" and "high" volume settings I was not able to lower the sound to a level I could tolerate in bed. My primary use for the device was to be for at work and for workouts at the gym so I tried to overlook this. I was pleased that the device has such a nice, bright display, records songs off the radio and had a clip for my clothing.
The thing that made me return it, ultimately, was the fact that it would not download any music files from my computer! I tried at least 4 times, and my computer clearly showed the music transferring to the Sansa but when i later tried to play it on the Sansa it was nowhere to be found. I called Sansa direct and no one answered the phone. So then i emailed them and got some good Customer Service that way but no one was able to offer a solution that actually worked, though they did try hard. Another problem with the Sansa was that after the first day or two it suddenly wouldn't stay charged more than about an hour; it's charge life kept getting shorter and shorter. It's supposed to be good for 12-15 hours after the last charge-up but mine clearly didn't-and I was not even playing it continuously. I also found that it was unable to get much radio reception outside the city limits, which doesn't bode well if your local gym is on the edge of the city. I was lucky to get maybe 2 or 3 stations tops there, and none of them the ones I wanted.
I think in the future I will look for a player that has a longer battery charge life and better volume control, in addition to finding one that downloads files. This one turned out to be nothing more than a glorified radio, I am sorry to say, and failed even at that in some ways. I'm guessing it's going to cost me more...
Anyway, given the mostly positive reviews on this little player, maybe your experience will be different than mine. Just don't throw away the packaging or receipt right away when you get it home, in case you have to return it.
