I gave one to each of my daughters in college to use as a way to easily record college lectures. One, a D1 athlete, misses classes in the spring. She asked the professor to clip on on her lapel during class to record the lecture. Did it without question.

I keep one at my desk at my office. Since it plays FM I can pipe FM radio through my PC's line-in.

These are wonderful little devices. Buy them by the dozen!]]>Aug 31st 2009 10:04AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/31/sandisk-makes-room-for-unwanted-slotmusic-cards-in-new-sansa-cli/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/31/sandisk-makes-room-for-unwanted-slotmusic-cards-in-new-sansa-cli/Aug 31st 2009 10:36AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/31/sandisk-makes-room-for-unwanted-slotmusic-cards-in-new-sansa-cli/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/31/sandisk-makes-room-for-unwanted-slotmusic-cards-in-new-sansa-cli/Aug 31st 2009 10:51AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/31/sandisk-makes-room-for-unwanted-slotmusic-cards-in-new-sansa-cli/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/31/sandisk-makes-room-for-unwanted-slotmusic-cards-in-new-sansa-cli/Aug 31st 2009 11:21AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/31/sandisk-makes-room-for-unwanted-slotmusic-cards-in-new-sansa-cli/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/31/sandisk-makes-room-for-unwanted-slotmusic-cards-in-new-sansa-cli/

If you read Enzo's review, http://www.anythingbutipod.com/archives/2009/08/sandisk-sansa-clip-plus-review.php , you'll see that the clips stable firmware has been built onto for the clip+ so it can work with the microSD etc, but is a new firmware. So, hopefully, for all those rockbox fans out there, it will not take to long for rockbox to be ported onto the clip. :)]]>Aug 31st 2009 8:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/31/sandisk-makes-room-for-unwanted-slotmusic-cards-in-new-sansa-cli/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/31/sandisk-makes-room-for-unwanted-slotmusic-cards-in-new-sansa-cli/Aug 31st 2009 9:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/31/sandisk-makes-room-for-unwanted-slotmusic-cards-in-new-sansa-cli/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/31/sandisk-makes-room-for-unwanted-slotmusic-cards-in-new-sansa-cli/

What we'd actually like is inciteful commentary and links to interesting tech info.

Or so I believe...]]>Aug 31st 2009 6:35PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/31/sandisk-makes-room-for-unwanted-slotmusic-cards-in-new-sansa-cli/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/31/sandisk-makes-room-for-unwanted-slotmusic-cards-in-new-sansa-cli/Aug 31st 2009 11:30AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/31/sandisk-makes-room-for-unwanted-slotmusic-cards-in-new-sansa-cli/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/31/sandisk-makes-room-for-unwanted-slotmusic-cards-in-new-sansa-cli/Aug 31st 2009 12:48PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/31/sandisk-makes-room-for-unwanted-slotmusic-cards-in-new-sansa-cli/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/31/sandisk-makes-room-for-unwanted-slotmusic-cards-in-new-sansa-cli/
My main question though is how's the audio quality? The last Sansa device I played with didn't sound all that great on my Grado SR60 headphones. My 3rd-gen iPod Nano sounds amazing on them. The DAC and amplifier circuitry are all quite important. That's part of the reason why there are cheap MP3 players and expensive ones, even though on paper the specs everyone bothers to list are pretty much identical.

I appreciate the idea behind this device and I think it will suit a lot of people, but I'm waiting for the revised iPods, personally.]]>Aug 31st 2009 11:30AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/31/sandisk-makes-room-for-unwanted-slotmusic-cards-in-new-sansa-cli/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/31/sandisk-makes-room-for-unwanted-slotmusic-cards-in-new-sansa-cli/

I have an original Clip, and it's an excellent MP3 to take to the gym. Syncs with Rhapsody and WMP, plenty loud, lightweight, robust (won't break if you drop it on the floor), seemingly endless battery life, apparently very sweatproof, very bright screen, intuitive menus, local playlist management, integrated clip... SanDisk got it all right.

As far as Clip+ goes, I would prefer them to go with a bigger screen by adding another line perhaps, but with it being even what it is, I still see it as a terrific value.]]>Aug 31st 2009 11:37AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/31/sandisk-makes-room-for-unwanted-slotmusic-cards-in-new-sansa-cli/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/31/sandisk-makes-room-for-unwanted-slotmusic-cards-in-new-sansa-cli/Aug 31st 2009 11:40AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/31/sandisk-makes-room-for-unwanted-slotmusic-cards-in-new-sansa-cli/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/31/sandisk-makes-room-for-unwanted-slotmusic-cards-in-new-sansa-cli/Aug 31st 2009 12:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/31/sandisk-makes-room-for-unwanted-slotmusic-cards-in-new-sansa-cli/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/31/sandisk-makes-room-for-unwanted-slotmusic-cards-in-new-sansa-cli/
Probably my favorite MP3 player ever. You don't always need a big player with lots of other functionality. Sometimes small and specifically focused is what you want.]]>Aug 31st 2009 12:11PM
