I really like the price and the compact size of the Sansa Clip MP3 player.

I have had some issues with it however. I had a bad feeling when I read the user manual and it told me what to do if the player glitched. Sure enough on the second day it shut off during playback and I couldn't get it to turn on again until I followed the manual's instructions on how to reset the player. At other times it stops playing and says I need to synchronize my player even though it had already been synchronized a couple of hours before. Finally, I don't think the battery life is that great. If I completely fill my player with music the battery will run down before I get to the end of the playlist. After I re-charge the battery the playlist begins over at the beginning and I never get to hear the songs at the end of the playlist unless I put it in shuffle mode or manually forward to the last songs.

This is the second Sansa MP3 I've owned and I keep kicking myself for taking a chance with these players again. My first Sansa glitched a lot too. My sons have Sony Walkman MP3s and have never had any problems with them. I'll purchase one of those brands in the future.

P.S. I'm adding to my earlier review. I've had the Sansa Clip for less than a year and it is now completely dead. I went to re-charge it and when I returned for it later it said it was still charging. The player itself was hot. I disconnected it and it said it had half of a charge. I turned it off. When I tried to turn it on later it wouldn't turn on at all. I tried doing a hard re-set. That didn't work. I tried charging it again only to have it heat up and never take a charge. I've ordered a Sony Walkman to replace the Sansa Clip.

I bought the Sansa e200 convinced it was better buy than a comparable iPod. It sure is. Both are similar regarding size and design, but the e200's extra functionality (FM radio and voice recorder) and lower price make it a better option. It's one black spot is having only one playlist (called Go List). Other than that, great product.

I got this mp3 player mainly for working out and for background music when I study, and so far I'm very pleased with my choice. I knew I didn't have the money or need for an iPod, so I compared a lot of smaller players on Amazon before deciding on the Sansa; it seemed the best deal for the money, and people were generally very happy with their purchase. Fortunately, I made a great choice, because the player is great on price and functionality for what I'm using it for.

My only gripe is the organization of the music. I haven't figured out how to make playlists on the thing, and even if you make them on MediaPlayer they don't convert and play on the Sansa (and trust me, I've tried many different things). The "playlist" option is there and I can see my playlist titles, but when I try to play the music it says "no files found". And the instructions that came with the player are extremely basic (what buttons do what), so they are no help. So what I've had to do to combat this issue is make the artist name what I want the playlist to be (ex: random 80's songs have the artist name of "80s"). This works well, because you can play music based on artist/album/genre/etc, so you bypass the playlist issue completely. It can just be time-consuming to change the properties of all your music; an artist name has to written exactly the same in order for the player to group the artist's music together (ex: Elvis vs ELVIS vs Elvis Presley). But I imagine this is a common complaint of most players, so please don't think it's unique to the Sansa.

The Sansa will work fine without the organization, and many people might not care about how their music gets grouped once in the player. But I'm a type A, so I care and have taken the time to make sure things get grouped correctly. And if you do something like I wrote above, the organization is fine; it's just something I didn't anticipate having to contend with. So please don't let that personal gripe dissuade you from purchasing this player, because it's really a nice player for the price, so long as you don't plan on storing all music on it at once. I update my music every 1-2 weeks and the system has worked well so far. My only suggestion is if you have the extra cash, you might want to splurge and go for the larger 2 gb Sansa; I wish I had.

It's exactly what I expected from a micro SD card to go in my Sansa Clip MP3 player. For some reason my computer didn't recognize it when plugged directly in with a converter, but did when it was inserted in the device itself - weird, but probably just a fluke.

I bought the SanDisk Sansa as a Christmas gift for my 17 year old son.  He is really enjoying it.  He says that the size is ideal and the sound quality is excellent.  8GB seems to be enough for his music collection. He formerly had a Creative Jukebox which no longer works.  Compared to the Sansa, the Creative was much larger and the display was difficult to read.  It also cost about twice as much as the SanDisk.

I bought a sansa view 8gb from Sold by: txxhenk, and i am not at all satisfied with this product. I just got the player, without a charger, how on the world should i charge this player without a charger. I also didn't receive the USB cable or the head phones or the user manual. I know that this is used-good condition but i didn't expect this.

My SanDisk MP3 player stopped working about 5 weeks after Christmas (outside the return window). To be fair, Amazon gave me a "one time exception" and allowed a return for a new player, but the next time I buy electronics, I'm going to a store that offers real protection against defective products and has an actual storefront location in my town.

I've had other small MP3 players (Creative MuVo 256 and 512MB) over the years that I've used at the gym and in my car and I was getting tired of constantly swapping songs around and decided to take the plunge into a large capacity player.  After looking around and doing some research, I decided to purchase a Sansa e series player.  I was planning on getting a 2GB player, but when I found that I could move into a 6 GB player for only about $40 more, I was sold.  You can't buy 4 GB of memory for $40.

Out of the box, the Sansa is a very attractive player, equal in looks to an iPod in my opinion.  Being a computer person, I liked the fact that I didn't have to use any specific software to load my songs onto the player.  All I had to do was connect and let Windows load the drivers and my Sansa showed up as a portable drive.  I quickly filled the 6GB of space available and let the player charge completely.

From the first time I started using the Sansa, I was impressed.  The navigation is very simply and easy to understand and the controls are pretty easy to use.  The buttons are a little small, but they are usable.  One small annoyance is that once the Sansa goes into it's power saving mode, you need to hit the buttons twice, once to "wake it up" and once to do the function you wanted (this does not include the scroll wheel for volume as it works immediately).  It would also be nice to be able to delete songs on the fly without reconnecting to the PC.

The screen is clear and crisp and the sound is great.  I use the player when I work out, so I had to purchase a arm band case since nothing came with the player, but I was able to find a Griffin "Sansa approved" case for about $15 delivered.  I switched out the headphones for my standard over the ear clips that I already had and was on my way.  The headphones that are included work fine and I keep them in my bag as a back-up.

A standard plug-in recharging cable would have been nice since you have to connect to the computer to recharge and you can't use the player when it's connected to the PC.  I always have a laptop with me, so it's not a problem of accessibility, it's a matter of convenience.  I may invest in a docking station to take advantage of my Sansa when at home.

Overall, this is a great product and I would highly recommend it to anyone in the market for an MP3 player.  If you are thinking about an iPod, look at this player first.  I got 6GB player (3 times the capacity) for less than you will pay for a 2GB iPod and I'm not shackled to the iTunes software.

i really love this ScanDisc Clip Jam the color is so pretty the speakers on this little thing work very well so far i have not had any problems with it.
 I highly recommend this tiny MP3 player if you are trying to say space in your bag and hate using your phone to listen to music.

My current small, favorite WMA music player is the Sandisk Sansa m240, with a gigabyte of storage, USB 2.0, an FM radio and long battery life from a rechargeable AAA battery. The m240 may soon be handed around the family as the m250 is dropping in price. It works well with [...] subscription "to go" music, Windows Media Player 11, and the new [...] service as well. The only thing that keeps it from being five stars is the fat form factor: look to Sandisk's new Sansa e260 for the next big thing in Windows compatible music players.

It is the perfect size: physically, perfect memory size, and you can add 32gb of external memory. I love my Sansa Clip+ 4gb mp3 player. I can play it for hours and hours; I can enjoy my music for a long time. I recommend it.

I'm quite happy with my 1GB Sansa M240.  It's a little clunkier in shape and size than some other MP3 players, but the price is good, the controls work well, and it's easy to load music.

The profile of the player is a bit different;  the back is rounded rather than flat (to conform to the battery compartment) and the sides have a little step in them to accomodate more control buttons.  In practice this hasn't been an issue for me, since it still fits in my jeans pocket comfortably.  The included plastic case works well to protect the player and allows access to the controls and the USB connector (but not the battery compartment) without taking the player out of the case.

My previous flash player was a Creative Zen Nano.  The Sansa definitely has better controls;  the Nano basically just played songs by directory and displayed the file name, ignoring the ID tags in the song file itself.  The Sansa, on the other hand, will automatically sort out songs into a hierarchy by artist and album, using the embedded ID tags rather than the directory structure to drive it.  This means I can just copy a bunch of files into any directory on the Sansa, and it will organize them for me.  Nice.  No need for additional software (like iTunes) either;  it's just a flash drive.

The controls are simple but effective:  the usual play/pause, volume up/down, and skip back/forward things.  A separate button gives access to menus for play modes (shuffle, repeat) and other stuff.  These work well, and I've only rarely had a button get pushed in my pocket by accident (a problem with small players when you don't lock the controls all the time).

Battery life is good;  I've been getting a few weeks on each AAA battery, with an average of an hour per day or more of use.  The low-battery indicator hasn't been real helpful, though, as it seems to register 50-80% right up until the unit dies because the battery is gone.  Not a big problem if you carry a spare battery, but you could be surprised sometimes.

I've used the FM feature only a little.  It has the same problems as other flash players with FM, in that the selectivity is poor and there's a lot of static.  Unlike other players I've seen, the Sansa uses the USB cable as an antenna, which probably improves the reception.  I don't know because I don't carry the cable around with me when I'm using the player, though.  They do supply a cute short little USB cable (about 4" long).

I have no strong opinions on the supplied earbuds, since I use some I already had.  They seemed like ordinary earbuds.

Overall, I'm happy with this player.  It remains to be seen how long it lasts (my Nano flaked out after about a year), and that will probably be the big determinant of how cost-effective this player is, but given the low price and good features, it's been a great deal so far.

I LOVE this little guy.  I had been looking for an mp3 player that allows playlists.  I had an older Sansa player that allowed playlists and I loved it.  But when the new players came out with more storage I set out to find one that had everything I needed.  I was surprised at how many mp3 players DONT allow playlists.  I work out alot and I like to put my music in a certain order for various reasons.  I had a nice little RCA player that sounded great, but alas...no playlists.  I finally went to Amazon and started reading user reviews to see if anyone mentioned playlists.  That's how I found my little Sansa Clip.  Now, it does not play video, but I never wanted that option anyway.  It does my playlists, it plays my audio books, has decent radio reception and has pretty good sound.  And there is plenty of storage in just the 4gb. If you can live without the video; I would highly reccommend this little unit.

When I purchased this I was not sure how well it would work since most reviews noted some issues. Well the new Firmware must have fixed this because I have had no problems at all. This is my third Sansa I have owned and I will buy another Sansa next time. I have owned this for a few months now and placed more recorded tv shows on this than I would ever want to watch. I would suggest using Any Video Converter just because it runs quicker and is easier to set up than the converter than comes with it. With 16 gigs I cant find enough music and movies to put on it and with the expandable memory there is no real reason to get the 32 gig version when 8 gigs of flash memory costs around 30$ these days. Over all great MP3 player that sounds amazing and has an extremely crisp colorful screen.
