Nice little unit for a great price! [Posted on 2008-09-30]
This unit is a nice little MP3 player. It has a ton of features including
FM radio
Recording
MP3 Player
Podcasts
So far in the 4 weeks I've had it I've used the unit quite a bit, and it puts out great sound, has a ton of features for the price, and is so small that it competes well with the Ipod shuffle (which I bought it to replace). Unlike the shuffle it has a screen and a ton more features!
The only negatives I've found so far is that the unit does feel a little plasticky and not as solid as some units. Otherwise, it is a great unit for the price and a must buy!
If my mp3 breaks, I'll get one of these [Posted on 2008-10-01]
I bought this as a gift for a friend who requested a lower-cost mp3 player. I conditioned the battery for him before I gave it to him (charging to full, then discharging, 3 times). It does take a while to charge, but seemed to hold a charge well.
I loaded some books from audible.com to gauge the listening experience and I was impressed. Unlike many mp3 players (even expensive ones), the Clip kept track of where I left off in every book, so I could be switch back and forth between books without losing my place. I didn't load any music on the Clip, so I can't comment on that listening experience.
The screen was very crisp and readable and makes this a HUGE step up from the Shuffle. The sleep feature is very handy, but every time you turn off the Clip, the setting reverts to the default, which is to have sleep turned off.
I have a Creative Zen, which I love, but if it ever fails me, or if I need an mp3 player to take with me on vacation or something, the Clip is what I'll get.
I'd give it 5 stars if the sleep feature didn't keep resetting itself, and if it charged its battery faster.
Best little MP3 around! [Posted on 2008-10-03]
I love my new MP3 player! The Sansa can hold more music that I could ever listen to and, living in a rural area, it can even pick up the local radio station- my regular house radio has problems finding any clear frequencies! Well built, amazing price. I am greatful!
nice little thing [Posted on 2008-10-06]
This is a nice little Mp3 the only problem is the FM reception so if you only want to use it for your own music, it's perfect!
First impressions [Posted on 2008-10-08]
It's said that you get what you pay for, but sometimes you get a little more. Although I reserve final judgment on the Sansa for the 6 mo. milestone, I am initially quite impressed.
Pros:
-Inexpensive ($35 for 1GB, OLED screen)
-Tiny, but clip makes it easy to use
-Basic features are intuitive; plug in, drag and drop to Music
Cons:
-More advanced features require some wrangling and Rhapsody?
Unknown:
-Durability?
Since I have no experience with high-end mp3 players, I can't definitively say how the Sansa stacks up. However, compared to my previous iPod Shuffle (first generation), it has been performing better in every way. The OLED screen can be read even in bright sunlight, and the controls are just as intuitive. The clip makes carrying it around a cinch, as you can clip it to your belt or even shirt pocket or collar. The only complaint I have is that figuring out how to use it with my existing music player programs on the computer is a bit of a hassle. Beyond that, it just remains to be seen whether the Sansa can compete in durability; my Shuffle finally fell apart at the ripe old age of two and a half years. Overall an excellent player but I cannot conscientiously recommend it until I have owned it for another few months.
