Clip, listen and go with the SanDisk 4GB Sansa Clip+ MP3 Player (Sleek Black). This content-packed little MP3 player features a 4GB solid-state flash memory, FM tuner, built-in microphone and expandable microSD / microSDHC memory card slot. Its OLED 1" landscape screen is large and bright; displaying a simple user interface that makes it easy to choose songs sorted by title, artist or album. You can choose from your playlists. The built-in mic facilitates quick recordings during lectures, at meetings, when making memos or just when you're thinking out loud. You can save your thoughts on the internal flash memory and listen to them whenever you please.
Of course you can upload songs, audio books and podcasts onto the Clip+ via USB, but the expandable memory card slot affords several other options for accessing content. You can insert your own card with audio on it or you can purchase preloaded cards, eliminating timely computer uploads from the equation. The slotMusic card and slotRadio card fit into the microSD slot. The slotMusic cards let you enjoy your favorite tunes. Each card is preloaded with music from your favorite artists. The slotRadio cards let you listen to 1,000 premium, full-length songs instantly with nothing to download, copy or manage. Each card has customized playlists to fit your style, mood or activities.
With so many options for listening, it's a good thing that the rechargeable internal battery can play up to 15 hours of continuous audio. The MP3 player supports several file formats including MP3, WMA, FLAC, audio books and podcasts. The FM tuner has an available 40 station-presets and the memory card slot balloons the amount of content you can store on the Clip+. No matter what your mood or musical preference, the Clip+ is equipped with the tools to keep you listening for hours without hearing the same thing twice. Just pop on your jam, use the integrated clip to free your hands, and go.

I purchased the Sansa Clip to replace a SanDisk (Sansa) Fuze which I had destroyed when I stepped on it with a pair of work boots! I choose to go with the smaller "Clip" for just that, its size. I didn't watch videos on my dearly departed "Fuze" so I didn't need the larger viewing screen. I use this device primarily in the evening while falling asleep. I also use the Sansa Clip during my children's outdoor athletic competitions (I find that the music keeps me calm while on the sideline).
There are many features of the Sansa Clip which I believe make this a great product. First has to be the sound reproduction from such a small device. I use the "Custom" 5-channell equalizer to adjust the sound to my preference. The "Clip" also has preset equalizer selections such as Rock, Pop, Jazz, Classical, etc. I have paired my Sansa Clip with a high-end in-the-ear (placed into the ear canal) set of noise isolating ear buds. I have also used this MP3 player with the standard over-the-ear noise cancelling earphones. Both provide exceptional sound reproduction at any listening volume. I have noticed the best bass reproduction with the in-the-ear ear buds. Both ear phones produce nice mid and high tones. I have not used the ear bud set that came with the Sansa Clip.
Perhaps one of the nicest and easiest characteristics that make this an item worth owning is the simplicity of adding songs – "drag and drop", done! Although the device supports several music platforms, if you encounter an incompatible platform, the device will ask if you want to convert in order to listen to the song! The internal 4GB memory is modest, but I insert a 2GB micro SD into the memory slot and I now have a 6 GB player for a very low cost! The belt clip has been quite handy and the variable sleep timer is wonderful. The Sansa Clip has many other features such as built in microphone for voice recording, playlist settings and other advanced tools, but I choose not to use those options at this time.
I am hard pressed to find anything that I would consider not-so-great about the Sansa Clip. People may find the compact size difficult to manipulate. Searching for songs by artist, title or genre can be done, but not as efficiently as some other products on the market. These features were not important to me, so I opted with the Sansa Clip.

Loved everything ... but the sound. Bought this to replace my old Creative Zen. Sansa clip's size, controls, ease of downloading and especially price were perfect. However, to my ears the Sansa clip's audio performance seemed muted and flat compared to the Zen - even after customizing the Sansa's EQ to the same settings as the Zen. The "solid sound quality" mentioned in Sansa clip reviews now appears to mean "really not that great."

Comments about SanDisk 4GB Sansa Clip+ MP3 Player (Sleek Black):
It has most of the features any MP3 player should have, except for one thing: it's missing a lock feature. This is actually a pretty big deal, as hitting a button while in your pocket or clipped onto you it very easy to do. Also, the interface is a little counter-intuitive. For example, the "play previous" button doesn't actually play the previous MP3, etc. But other than that, it's a decent player.

This little guy does everything you could want at an affordable price. The micro SD expansion slot allows you to expand the memory. This unit does have a shuttle feature, which I could not listed anywhere but is important to know because there are some other brands that don't inlcude this feature. You probably will want to switch out the cheapie ear buds that come with this.

This thing is great. I was previously using my iPhone while working out but I was always paranoid of the germs I'd be bringing home. Also, it was pretty clunky and heavy to carry around. With this Sansa clip all those problems are gone. It's my designated MP3 player for working out and it clips anywhere and holds snugly. It's so small and light it's not cumbersome at all. Oh yeah, they sound great!

This came preset in some unreadable sand dune region language that I couldn't read to reset to English. was able to Google and as others had same problem the answer was to count so many pages then go down so many lines then select the proper language. Don't know if this was ment to be delivered over there or just mis-packaged by a Chinese 2nd grader. Otherwise it does work great except for the low volume played through your car system.

Got this to use on the aux. channel of my car's system. Works well, small and inconspicuous. It's obvious that it's a $ mp3 player. Only gripe is battery life, it will last through most any road trip, but you run out of juice before you run out of songs.

Comments about SanDisk 4GB Sansa Clip+ MP3 Player (Sleek Black):
I use this mainly at the gym. Light-weight, approx 1" x 2", it will clip anywhere and be out of your way. Others comment on the controls being less than obvious, but I say anything this small will have to compromise a little bit on obviousness. Having said that, I only had to open the book once to figure out the one thing I couldn't suss out by myself. The sound is fine - the less file compression in your sound files, the better the sound quality. At a high compression you can get the 1,000 songs, but if I had 1,000 songs to choose from, I'd never start exercising. So I'm storing mp3 files @ 320 kbps, which will allow for storing more songs than I'll ever think of.
