SanDisk Sansa Clip Zip 1.1" Black 8GB MP3 Player SDMX22-008G-A57K SanDisk Sansa Clip Zip 1.1" Black 8GB MP3 Player SDMX22-008G-A57K

Pros: Very Good, Very straightforward to use. Does exactly what I needed it to do-play my mp3's with good sound quality.

Cons: None

Pros: Loved it

Cons: Not water proof

Other Thoughts: Easy to use, just write music to flash and run. FLAC sounds great!

Pros: This is the tiniest MP3 player I have ever owned but it is also one of the best. When I bought it I was not aware of its size. This is suitable for jogging or other exercise as it comes with a built in clip. At 8GB there is plenty of storage but it accepts micro sd cards as well, it comes with a built in fm tuner, and has an adjustable 5 band EQ. It delivers great sound quality. I deducted 1 egg because of its size since if I had known I would have passed on buying it and because if I had to pay anything near list price for it it would not be worth it. it just feels too light and insubstantial in my hands so light in fact that the outer case seems empty, like the inner parts have not been installed. This design is clearly for the avid exerciser as anything with weight to it would fly off the user during activities. This is still an excellent MP3 player tho.

Cons: Too small, no weight to it, small screen. I reused an SD card from an old android smartphone and I couldn't access the other file types on the card to delete them.

Other Thoughts: List price is $70 plus shipping and this device is not worth it in my opinion. I did have a coupon code for $20 + free 2 day shipping via another service. (which still took longer than 2 days,,, ) essentially I paid a little more than half the total price (vs list + 2day shipping of about $16) so I am fine with this unit given what I paid. an avid exerciser would probably be satisfied with it at a bit higher price since the weight and size would best suit their needs.

Pros: If you buy a music player just for music and want to use it in your car, when you work out or just relaxing on the couch, this is for you!
Great battery life!

Cons: Slow to load high quality music files.

Pros: The sound quality is good and the EQ settings are not bad. I have the 8GB player with a 32GB memory card. The player works great in my car, allowing me to charge and listen to it at the same time. Best part about this: you can upgrade the firmware! I installed Rockbox.org and the player works perfectly. Rockbox adds themes, tons of EQ settings, car mode, as well as support for MP3, FLAC, and other formats.

Cons: The only drawback with the original player and firmware is that if you exceed 5,000 songs, the player has a bit of an issue. SOLUTION: For this, I upgraded the firmware by installing Rockbox. Works without a hitch.

Other Thoughts: Overall, very satisfied with this player. I replaced an iPod Nano and am glad I did; my iPod purchasing days are over.

Pros: Lightweight
sturdy
simple to use

Cons: Mine wont start anymore. It worked great for 2.5 months and just as june started it started to have issues. I've been all over their website and I've attempted to do soft resets on the device to no avail.

Other Thoughts: When it worked it was really awesome. Cheaper than an Ipod and 1/10th the weight.

Pros: Great little player, with more than enough memory for what I use it for.

Cons: Wasn't free?

Pros: small

cheap

extendable memory

great battery life

loud

Cons: not free?

Other Thoughts: i wish more PMPs companies took a look at what sansa (sandisk) is doing here.

just cuz something is cheap doesn't mean it has to be limited.

for tips and tricks on how to get the most out of this thing Google anythingbutipod and check out the forums.

Pros: Cheaper than a Nano.

Cons: Flimsy. File visibility difficult.

Other Thoughts: When you transfer podcast mp3 files to its Internal Storage in Win7 you can see the files on the player with Windows Explorer, but the player does not show the files on its screen so you can play them. Apparently you have to edit the ID3 property of each file in order to see them on the player. I can't find a way in Win7 to edit ID3 tags so I am exploring other software like ID3 TagIT. Why is this so much trouble? Other players I have used (e.g., Samsung) see the files without issue.

Pros: This little sucker is pretty amazing! Good battery life, sound is pretty good (7.5 outta 10), comes with a radio, has a clip and is "drag and drop" compatible (no silly iTunes DRM!!!!!). Easy to navigate. Great price!

Cons: Yes, screen resolution is pretty low. Also, case seems a bit cheap compared to Apple products (but, plastic is WAY better for durability, such as drops/falls).

Other Thoughts: I'm keeping mine.
