2GB &amp; 4GB version costs SAME amount! Ok guys, I heard about the many great things about this 2GB Sandisk Sansa Clip and I am definitely sold BUT WHY do so many people purchase the 2GB version when the same Sansa Clip at 4GB is about $6.00 -$ 8.00...

I think the 2GB version came out before and has been out longer than the 4GB version, so many people bought it before they had the chance to even decide to by the 4GB.

Hi Larry - I am also looking for mp3 player for audiobooks from NetLibrary - Do you know if Sansa has bookmarking feature? How did you narrow your choices to Sansa? Thanks for your help. Willow

Hi Terpsichore, to be honest i dont know, but my guess is that the 4GB one has been discontinued, and when that happens the price goes up. Just buy the one that's best for you and your pocket. DONT BUY THE 4GB Please. :) Hope it helps.

Micro SD card is a type, but if you mean what size of Micro SD card, i used a 16GB card and it worked fine. I don't think the Sansa can take a bigger card, but if it could, I would not suggest it. When you turn the Sansa on, it scans the files on the card, and the more files it has the longer you will wait for that to happen.

I use my 4GB as a jumpdrive all the time, even though i carry it in my camera for pictures too. I contacted Sandisk directly on getting more. They said that they had no plans to produce any more of this design. Sad. A 64GB, Class 10 speed or higher, and USB3 version would be rockstar!BTW - You can also get OCZ versions of 1GB or 2GB: http://www.ocztechnology.com/ocz-secure-digital-dual-memory-cards-eol.htmlOr vintage A-DATA 2GB "SD DUO: versions here: http://www.dhgate.com/data-speedy-2gb-sd-duo-sd-usb-memory-card/p-ff808081300cd7a901301bce1cbc7

I do not recommend Sansa Clip+ at all. Volume botton useless after 2 months. Look up forums before you buy one.

I'm running a 64 GB in mine. It's a SanDisk Mobile Ultra MicroSDXC Class 10 card, formatted to FAT 32, and partitioned by taking off 300 MB only. I'd be glad to give specifics if requested (quite easy). Oh, I installed Rockbox, too--essential--makes it a whole new level of player. (Installing needs a 32 bit computer or simulation program for the Sansa, also simple.

Thanks again, Buddy. Do you recommend any other brand of player for Overdrive WMA books other than Sansa? I am quite happy with Sansa but my favorite model is becoming scarce and therefore few bargains, especially since I need several. Thanks, again!

I don't know. I have far more songs than will fit on my clip, so I reformat my clip often and copy songs onto it as I feel. I long for the days of the Sansa View, a larger "Man's" mp3 player. The clip is nice, but it is too small and is for dainty fingers.

The sansa fuze 4GB has better audiobooks then the sansa clip. I a own both of them i bought the clip first and then the fuze i would give the clip 4 stars on audiobooks, and the fuze 5. the fuze has bookmarking.

$100 more bucks for an extra 28~gigs? ouch. might as well just buy the 32gb edition and then pick up a Sandisk 128gb SD card that comes out soon (yes, it's compatible) and get more for your money. just my opinion though!

You should have NO issues with a 2Gb card, unless you are a heavy user in which case you'll need more cards between downloads. Sometimes, it is "safer" with a 2Gb card, since you'll be downloading images more often. Hope this is of use to you. Thanks.

I have the Sandisk clip and when I am listening to a book and then pause it, it bookmarks where I left off. I just got it last week. I got the 4GB and I wish I would have gotten a 8GB. I downloaded The Pillars of the Earth, The Way of the World and The Devil Colony and that took my entire 4GB.

You won't be sorry if you choose the Sansa Fuze MP3 player. I have two of them now, the 4 gig and the small 2 gig Sansa Clip. I previously bought iPods for my grown children as gifts and am very familair with their functions, but the Fuze goes way beyond them and the price is well less than half of that of a comparable iPod. Read my review of the Fuze above. I think the audio and video quality is as good as you can expect, but mainly depends on the quality of the digital input from whatever device you take them from. The one thing iPods have over the Sansa products, as well as most other MP3 players, is the abundance of peripheral devices to use with the iPod. You can find all sorts of things that accept the iPod, but usually have to find devices for the Sansa here on Amazon or other on line sites. They exist, you just have to look harder for them. My advice....don't hesitate...get the Sansa Fuze and look here on Amazon for other devices to use with them if you feel the need. I did, and don't regret my choice at all.

See new post in the "Spare Batteries" discussion.Great deal too!8 gig microSDHC continues to work great in a USB adapter! No problems.Another advantage to this setup is that the SanDisk 8 gig microSDHC are now 13 bucks on amazon!And, even with the micro USB reader, it's still way smaller than a standard USB thumb drive! (important because of how it sticks out from the side) And it's cheaper than a SanDisk 8 gig USB thumb drive too! AND I can still use the micro card in my mp3 player!Talk about having your cake and eat it too.

I bought a 4GB Nano 2 years ago because I only had 3GBs of music. Now I have 16GBs. Getting an iPod may give you the bug to listen to more music. With the ease of switching between songs and creating playlists, any mp3 player will drive you to experiment a little with your music taste. I also could not have cared less about the pictures or video (still don't) - but I got really into podcasts, and those take up space (if you like radio, check out podcasts - better quality, fewer interruptions). Bottom line - you will probably regret not spending the extra $50. The 80GB is a little more delicate than the nano (spinning hard drive vs. flash memory), but if you are just going to keep it at home it should not be an issue.

SanDisk Sansa Clip+ 2 GB MP3 Player (Black) I am trying to help my daughter with purchase of a memory card she feels she needs for a mp3 she has purchased on Amazon from CrazyonDigital. Would a memory card be automatically included with the mp3 or does she even need one?
