Simply the Best

OK, I have had enough of Apple products. I just wanted a simple MP3 player to stash my 350 album music collection and audiobooks so I bought a 32GB iPod touch at $250. I didn't really care about email and photos. I just wanted to store my audio. The iPod couldn't hold all my music. The 32GB was being used for all its software, which demanding iTunes updates every other day! Talk about a high maintenance relationship. I managed to store 1/5 of my music on this device. Which was then stolen out of my car 2 weeks later! So now I see the SanDisk Clip Sport MP3 player, with a 32GB card to add, all for $54. It came a week later, a tiny piece of plastic that looks like a child's Gameboy. But, surprise! It took all my audio and had room for more! It is Overdrive compatible (my Zen wasn't) and I can download audiobooks from my public library. And the sound quality is terrific! If you just want a simple device that can hold and play your audio, in the car, in the house, or even (gasp) while you're out walking, this is the device for you. And I doubt anyone will break into your car to steal it!

Great for Elementary Student!

We purchased this player for my 8 year-old son to use on the school bus. We didn't want to get anything too expensive since it would be in his backpack at school all day, but we wanted it to be of good quality. This MP3 player has been the perfect choice! It is extremely easy to load with music and manage the content when we connect it to our computer. Our son needed almost no instruction on how to use it because it is very intuitive. We charge it very infrequently because it has a long battery life. I recommend this if you're looking for a simple MP3 player that won't let you down!

Sound quality, expandable memory and reliability.

It is compact. The buttons are robust and the unit is solid. I use it mostly for airplane travel and time in the hotel. The quality of the sound with my Koss noise cancelling headphones is superb. I loaded it with a 32GB micro memory card and I have most of my music library loaded. I load it through Windows Media Player and the order of the songs match the album. Battery lasted for a plane trip from NY to Hong Kong. It is everything I wanted. I've also used it in the car with the Male/Male jack (purchased separately). The sound and clarity are as good as a quality CD. This is the second unit I've owned. The last one was three years old and I lost it while traveling. I expect this one will serve me just as well. So far so good.

Small and powerful

Original, I almost didn't order this. I thought the 1" screen would be far too small. I had a Sansa Fuze previously with a significantly larger screen; however, I was pleasantly surprised at the crispness and clarity of the screen for being so small. The clip is great. It's strong and solid. The buttons make it really simple and easy to navigate my music without needing to look down. I don't this this aspect can be underestimated. There's just no guessing. Some people might find the SanDisk interface a bit problematic at first; with just about 20 minutes of use though, it becomes really intuitive and very simple. One of my favorite features is the fast speed function for audiobooks. Often times the narrators speak so slowly that I become easy bored. Thankfully, I just kick up the speed and can really get into them for long drives. The battery life is great. I recharge about once every two to three weeks, though I mainly use it in my car while driving. One of my favorite features over other mp3 players is the microSD slot. You can create different "mixtapes." 8GB is good for a basic library, but sliding in a 16 GB card with a whole new library really spices it up. Music syncs easily. And the volume is great. It starts off with a rather large sound, but it will about double that. There are warnings about damaging your ears with long term use at high volumes; I'm just happy to have the ability when I'm walking through the city and need a bit more oomph to drown out the traffic.

Best MP3 player for Audibles

This was a replacement for a three year old iPod nano. The old iPod still works but using iTunes has become such a headache and is so user unfriendly we decided there has got to be a better option for listing to Audibles (audio books). This device is easy to use and works pretty well with Amazons audible manager on PC. The best part is this device has a micro SD card slot that can take a 32 gig chip so in theory you can store 40 gigs of books, music, or whatever on this device. A feature that apple has not been able to figure out how to add to their devices (probably an iOS compatibility issue). Has a clip on the back that will keep the device clipped to your collar or pocket. LCD screen is pretty decent too. Also comes with a cheap pair of earbuds. The best sounding earbuds I have found short of Bose are the Sennheiser CX 300 II Precision Enhanced Bass which you can find here: https://www.amazon.com/Sennheiser-II-Precision-Enhanced-Earbuds/dp/B001EZYMF4/ref=sr_1_1?s=aht&ie=UTF8&qid=1487279615&sr=1-1&keywords=sennheiser+earbuds They make an excellent pair with the SanDisk clip sport, to really hear the great sound quality of music played by this device you will need comparable ear buds.

Vast improvement over my old Clip

I have an older clip that this one replaces. This one is infinitely easier to use, it pauses and resumes easily--nice for listening to books in the car. And has much better battery life. Nice for all day drives. And it holds a lot. And is AUDIBLE compatible. It would be great if Amazon would get their act together about which players work with Audible. This was my third try--older Ipods and other players don't work.

Really good sound quality

I've had this model MP3 player for quite a while, and really like the longer battery life, shuffle mode. My wife's previous player was also a Sandisk, but less battery life. After she ran it thru the washing machine (in a pocket!), it didn't work so well anymore, so it was time to get her the same model. We both enjoy our Sandisk players! I did tell her to not put this one in the wash...

This is way better than an older model I had purchased through Amazon ...

This is way better than an older model I had purchased through Amazon years ago; this upgraded model actually has a longer battery life, stores a lot of songs, and has a great sound quality. It's small enough to fit in your pocket or on the side of your purse or backpack. I've used it on my 3-hour train rides to and from (6 hours total) the medical appointments I have to go to, which helps me relax and enjoy the ride. It's also great for working out in the gym, going for walks, or waiting for the bus. It beats having to carry a smart phone (which I don't own), and it allows me to listen to my tunes while also enjoying the scenery outside.

Transferring music from iTunes is easier than I expected

I found syncing with iTunes was easier than I expected. I have iTunes installed on a Windows PC. When I connect the MP3 player to the PC, Windows 10 recognizes the device as a memory device and assigns a device letter. When I launch iTunes, it does not recognize the MP3 player as an Apple device, unlike what happens when I connect an iPhone or iPod. However, the transfer process is a simple Copy -> Paste. From within iTunes, I simply highlight the songs I want to transfer and right click to copy. Using Windows File Explorer, I open the drive location of the MP3 Player, click on the music folder, then right click to paste the files. During the file transfer, File Explorer prompts if any of the files already exist on the MP3 Player. The SanDisk firmware plays the .mp3 and .m4a with no problems. I have not tried creating play lists on the ScanDisk Device. My 422 songs consume 3.3 GB of memory on the device, less than half of its capacity. I wish the firmware stopped playback when headphones are disconnected. This feature would prevent wasting battery power if the power button is pressed.

No nonsense simple MP3 player with plenty of features and battery life

I bought this MP3 player for my 12 year old daughter. She loves it and listens to it on a daily basis. It was easy enough to download songs (that we purchased) onto the player and to create playlists. Battery life is long and the FM radio works well. Haven't had to add additional memory yet but it's nice to know that we can when it comes time. She likes the clip feature and uses it whenever she is out and about
