User Submitted SanDisk Sansa Clip 2 GB MP3 Player (Black) Reviews (cont...)Date: 2009-01-01 Awesome workout MP3 player This is an incredible MP3 player, especially for working out/running. It's very, very light, has a built in clip (hence the name) so you can clip it on to your waistbelt, pocket, etc. Controls are very easy & simple, so when you're on the road it's easy to flip through albums, playlists etc. I've been used to using armbands & covers for most of my players, especially on outdoor runs, but this little baby really doesn't need anything...it's very small & light and clips on very securely...just get yourself a good pair of headphones. I recommend Sennheiser PMX70 Sport Line Stereo Neckband Headphones...odd color but great for runners Date: 2008-12-30 Bad Product - Does Not Work At All - Waste of Money I originally bought 2 of this product in Sep 2008 to be used as birthday gifts. However, since they did not arrive in time, I decided to use them for Christmas gifts. So, after a frustrating few days, here's where I am: Does not turn off; Gets stuck on "Refresh Database"; Says music folder is EMPTY even after I manage to get music loaded. This is the most awful MP3 player I have encountered. A complete waste of money and time!! Do not buy this product. Date: 2008-12-29 Perfect audio player for my needs. I've owned this product, the Sandisk Sansa 'Clip' 2GB, for roughly a year now. It works wonderfully, setting the device up initially was a breeze. I just took it out, charged it up, and it was ready to go. I had initially bought it as a Christmas gift for someone else, but ended up liking it so much that I kept it and got them something different. While I do not like the idea of a radio tuner with "presets" rather than a slider dial, it does pick up local radio stations pretty well. I have never used the voice recorder feature. It doesn't have video or photo capability, but at this size and for this incredible price, I wouldn't expect it. Battery life, well, I've not once had the battery run "dead". I'm usually pretty good about keeping stuff charged. I think the lowest I've ever seen the marker was 47%. I tend to keep it up near 100% if I think to charge it up, but if I forget it doesn't go down much. I've left it on by accident for hours before, so I think unless you really forget, you will like the battery power. It charges by USB, which is convenient, and standard I guess. A wall charger might be "nice", but with the life this player has, it's nowhere near necessary. 2 gigabytes won't hold your entire CD collection, but it is enough space for several hundred songs. I think the most I've had on it at one time was about 300, but I am constantly changing my playlist. Typically between 250 and 300 songs are on the player at any one time. The "clip" does just that. It clips to a sleeve, collar, pocket, whatever you want it to. I find it very portable, lightweight, and very convenient. I do not use the buttons much at all, but they are well-placed. I can turn it on, hit a button, and hear music in about 2 seconds. One thing I do like, is the lockout button. No chance of accidentally turning it on with this feature, great for travel or if you have it banging around in a pocket or purse all day. My one complaint I have, when you charge it, or transfer files, as you remove it from a USB port it powers on automatically. So, I then have to go through the effort of turning it off. Not much effort, but I would like to have it just remain off when I remove it from charging. The display is "cute", and easy to navigate menus once you get the hang of things. I don't mess with the settings much, but it's not difficult to move from menu to menu. It can take you maybe 5 to 10 minutes to get your bearings, if you don't bother reading instructions. This of course will depend on how tech-inclined you are. I'm no genius, and I was up and running very fast. Form factor. It's very light, and compares with a matchbox. Sleek shape, cool styling. The clip fits nicely in your hand, and if you clip it to your shirt or pants, you will not really notice it's there, aside from the ear bud wires of course. Overall, I have tried "iPods", Sony gadgets, and various "no-name" devices. I don't see why anyone pays what Apple is asking when the Sandisk (at least this one) gives me what I need, and doesn't break on me. One reason I didn't go with another Apple player, I have had several break, and I have friends who have also had theirs break easily. The screen usually, although other problems have happened. Ths Sansa Clip has not failed to function once in the time I've owned it. I've had other players screw up in a month. Give this player a try, I did, and I'm 100% happy. Date: 2008-12-28 excellent beginner MP3 for exercise I purchased this MP3 for working out at the gym. I used previous recommendations since this would be my first MP3 player. It is very small, simple & inexpensive. Good starter player. However, the Rhapsody software would not work, used Windows media player instead. It did not work to just drag & drop files. Once I learned how to put music on the player it is a simple process. The ear buds that it came with have excellent sound but they would not stay in my ears very well. The clip does tend to come apart from the player easily. Date: 2008-12-28 Short-lived beauty The Sansa Clip had all of the features I wanted, so I ordered it directly from SanDisk. It was easy to drag and drop load and it worked fine for a couple of weeks when the screen went blank. Without screen guidance, I was able to funble around and finally find the "play" and "FM" modes so I know it works otherwise. One of the other posts said he didn't spend time getting his defective unit to work since it was cheap. That's how I feel. I can use it for file transfer like a thumb drive so it isn't a total loss. Some day when my frustration threshold is high, I'll contact SanDisk and try to get something resolved.
