Bought this as a replacement for my old Sandisk sansa clip + and have found exactly the same great sound and easy function buttons. These MP3 players are no longer available new and the prices have sky-rocketed, to the extent that my old player cost £30 new and now are costing about £120!!(if you can get them). Here goes another six or seven years of excellent listening.
Verified purchase: Yes | Condition: Refurbished
I bought a refurbished Sansa Clip because I love the model and it's now discontinued. It works great except that it needs to take a couple of days rest every couple of weeks. It's happened twice or three times now now, where it is totally non responsive for 2 days, then comes back to life. It doesn't respond to being reset during that time.

I use the Clip+ to listen to podcasts and other downloaded radio broadcasts while walking my dog. It is easy to pause and rewind on the move without taking it out of my pocket (I stuck "pimples" on the pause, rewind and forward wind positions so I could operate it by touch alone) The display is clear and bright enough to read even on a sunny day. Volume is more than adequate provided you set it at "Rest of World" in the Settings. Battery lasts about 10 hours. Sansa don't give instructions about how to get a batch of podcasts to play in seamless succession in a chosen order, but this is possible if you first 'albumise' your podcasts by going into the properties of a highlighted list of podcasts and giving them an album title e.g. 'A' and then making a playlist ('a') in the Clip+. When I started using Ubuntu as my OS I had to change the USB mode to MSC and have to put podcasts and their playlists in the Music directory I have an older Clip for playing my entire music collection through my radio.Read full review
SanDisk Sansa Clip+ is the most bang for the buck you can get from an mp3 player, and I really like this little beast. Design: It's incredibly tiny, weighs next to nothing and has a very useful clip on it's back, which makes it perfect for sports or any other activity. I for one think that I could not go back to mp3 players that don't have a clip, that's how used you get to it. I got the black version which is the most neutral one since the colored ones still have a black back, making them to be in two colors. Front of the player is glossy, leaving fingerprints and smudges if you touch it in areas between buttons. Buttons and the back of it are made from nice matte plastic. Overall the buttons are ok, the only real complaint for me is the lack of physical lock button on the player, to which I gut used to while using Apple iPod products. Screen is tiny especially if you are used to your iPods, Zunes and what not, but its also really sharp and I can see everything very clearly even from a distance. Features: This mp3 player has monster features, especially after rockboxing ( http://www.rockbox.org/wiki/WhyRockbox )it, which I highly recommend. Already with its base firmware it plays almost every audio format there is including FLAC. It has a decent radio tuner, a very simple equalizer, voice recording, simple audio file management, drag and drop file transfer and most of the settings you would expect. After rockboxing it these settings are greatly expanded especially if you want to change the look of the screen ( themes ) or care for really advanced equalizer settings, some simple games and applications. Sansa is widely known to have a great audio quality, which is greatly approved of in the audiophile circle and which is stated to be better than the quality of Apple iPod Nano and Shuffle series ( not sure about iPod Classic ). For me, a more price consious user coupled with the Meelectronics M6 ( http://www.meelec.com/M6_Series_earphones_s/246.htm ) headphones the sound is simply stunning for half the price of a Nano alone. Another great aspect of this player which comes in a 2GB, 4GB and 8GB variations is the SD card slot for a SD card up to 32GB and potential 40GB mp3 player ( 8GB + 32GB ). Battery Life: So here is the bad news. Due to its size, I guess, it has a battery life of 15 Hours of music playback, which is 9 hours less compared to the Nano. But with the default firmware, depending on your usage habits, its going to be closer to the 12 hour of music playback mark, although after rockboxing it I am happy enough to see it hit the 15 hour mark, as rockbox supposedly improves its battery life. Overall Value: There is not much else to say about it. If you need a decent, small and lightweight player for sports or every day use, are very conscious about your audio quality, need a small player to have up to 40GB of space, are happy with up to 15 hours of music playback and don't need or see the point of expensive mp3 players Sandisk Sansa Clip+ might be exactly the mp3 player for you.Read full review
This is a really great MP3 Player for the money has good memory plus a micro sd card slot its easy to use and very small and light with a belt clip. My only problem with it is the volume. At full volume it is not loud enough if you are in any kind of environment that has even a little noise. You need to change the earphone to ones that actually fit into your ear canal. Overall a good mp3 player
