Great mp3 player, 2010-07-27
i brought this for my son's birthday and he love's it. It small and compact and clips to anything.
 Yeah its great, but keep the warranty handy....., 2010-09-02
because it will give you problems eventually. If you have a look at the forums there is a plethora of things that go wrong with the clip,
ranging from PC's not recognising it, to it not charging from a laptop.
The new problem i have with mine is only being able to listen through 1 headphone, not because of the headphones, but becasue the socket has broken - if you move the jack around you can get sound into both, but not for long.
I even bought new headphones before I realised it was the jack input.
Here's the punchline: its only a month and a half outta warranty. Bah!
Like I said, its great, but it will give you problems.
great, mostly, 2010-07-31
Pros
* good sound quality
* tiny
* solid construction
* clip is useful (clip it on your t-shirt and go for a walk)
* generally good GUI
* stops at the end of an album and also has auto-poweroff so you can listen while going to sleep
Cons
* FLAC support buggy
1) a 440HZ tone plays as silence -- only on Sansa Clip -- so whatever it is decoding it is not the original sound which kinda defeats the point of a lossless coding.
2) a FLAC with no padding blocks is ignored -- the Sansa Clip thinks it is invalid.
3) FLAC playing sometimes has drop-outs (more as the battery runs low? I'm not sure ... I gave up using Sansa FLAC "support")
* Metadata support limited
Album names are cropped at 32 characters. This can result in different albums being mistaken, by the Sansa Clip, as the same album. All the tracks from these different albums then get jumbled into a single list.
* User Interface is counter-intuitive in places
e.g. Generally the Forward and Back buttons navigate the menus. Forward goes deeper and Back comes back out again. All good so far. But once a track is playing Forward and Back are reassigned to go between tracks. This means you have to press Menu and then Forward on the "Back to Music List" menu item to get back to the music list(!). Whereas pressing Backward on "Back to Music List" takes you back to the track playing screen. Pressing Forward to go Backward is definitely odd. I think they were trying to make it iPod-like but because the "wheel" is only four buttons they can't quite do it.
* Voice recorder records regular 'clicks'
The voice recorder adds a regular click click click over everything it records.
(maybe it clicks when it writes a segment of sound to its memory ... i'm not sure)
* No filesystem navigation (only by metatag)
This has been pointed out in other reviews. I came from a Creative "Stone" that only used filesystem navigation. Many mp3s come with deficient tagging or no tagging. Quirks like the 32-character thing above mean you often need Sansa-specific tagging.
* You cannot grow the "Go List" while the player is playing it.
This means you cannot pick songs to play next while you have a song playing (as you can on most players). It is simply not possible on the Clip. The Go List does get extended BUT the player stops when it gets to the end of the Go List as it originally was when you first choose to start playing it. So near and yet so far!
* Sansa Clip is essentially unsupported
There have been no firmware upgrades in the year since I bought it even though SanDisk acknowledge many of the issues above.
Summary
I'm actually rather happy with it. It goes everywhere with me and I've got used to working around its issues. "Better the devil you know ..." ;)
rubbish, 2010-07-27
after reading all the reviws about this mp3 player,i fought it was a bargain at the price and the size of the 8 gb drive!!How dissappointed i was , its very hard to find the song you want,you have to scroll for ages before you get to it ,the format of the product is very bad ,when you want to find album and song on the album its very hard ,and takes ages to find,its very cheap carappy sounding not loud at all,
stay away from it,get a soney
