iPod prices leave room for competitors to sweep in on the low end with less-expensive products that attempt to match or improve upon comparable iPod models. SanDisk's Sansa Clip is a prime example; it costs just $39.99 (1GB) and $59.99 (2GB). Both of those prices beat the iPod shuffle's...

The good: The SanDisk Sansa Clip offers impressive sound quality; an ultracompact, gym-friendly design with a removable belt clip; and useful features such as an FM radio and Rhapsody DNA integration. The player also includes support for a wide variety of audio file types, including OGG and FLAC....

I have the 8GB Sansa Clip. Got it on sale at Walmart for $50. Size: A bit bigger than the new Shuffle, but it has a screen and frankly it's already so small that I sometimes have trouble seeing it on the console of my car. :) It has a clip which works great. I tend to fiddle with the clip...

I only use this player for running. The clip at the back keeps it secure at all times. Supports FLAC, so I can listen to all my lossless music. Display is extremely bright, crisp, and readable in any light condition. Supports MSC and MTP mode, so I can create drag-and-drop my music files if I...

I went through 2 Shuffles and decided to try the Sansa Clip and I'm glad I did. The battery life is as good or better than the Shuffle and the addition of a display makes navigating play lists easy. The Clip is about the same size & weight as a 2nd Gen iPod shuffle and has better sound...

The things I like about this device are: Great sound quality Super light weight Cheap price tag Presents itself as a mass storage device, so no software is needed Standard USB/miniUSB cable Great battery life Things that weren't so great: The FM tuner doesn't get that great of...

I've had this player for a few years now and it still is amazing. I have dropped it many times, sat on it,, stepped on it, and even dropped it water on accident and the little guy still works perfectly. It's not the simple interface and ease of use that makes this player so great. It...

Unlike some other small MP3 players, you can pick what song you want to listen to... using a SCREEN! Brilliant! It works with any music organizer you like, or just drag & drop files into it. It has a voice recorder and FM radio built in. The FM tuner is remarkably good for something that small...

The battery power on my first Sansa Clip suddenly died after about a year. I don't know whether the battery is dead or the battery leads broke. Once I realized there was no way I could fix it, I immediately purchased a new Sansa Clip to replace it because I liked it so much. Another problem...

I started with a refurbished 2GB model. I abused it for a year and it died. I am an avid cyclist and runner. I clip the player to the back of my riding jacket or Jersey and there it stays for however long I ride (10,20,40,70 miles at a time). Sound is clean and loud and doesn't disapoint. I...

Been using this player for about a year. At the time of purchase, it's only competition in this size range was the iPod shuffle clip. Similarly, at the time of purchase, this Sansa Clip was double the capacity size, had a screen, and was half the price! The sound of the Clip is truly...
