Great upgrade to an already great budget player

If all you are looking for is a great sounding, small, cheap mp3 player with a display and expandability options, then the clip + is your best choice. This is very similar to the old clip with the following major differences:

- two minor button placement changes (improvement)
- UI is a bit smoother (menus scroll now)
- volume normalizing/gain
- micro-SD slot for up to 16 added gigs (which is huge)
- a little thicker, probably due to SD support
- clip is no longer removable (depending on your preference, this is a good or bad thing-guess you could just rip it off and file it down if you wanted to)

As always, it sounds great and blows away the iPod Shuffle in terms of value. So light and small--great for the gym. If you need your mp3 player to play games, surf the internet or serve double purpose as a grocery list, then this isn't for you, but if you're on a budget or just need something that plays music and does so well, this is the one.
Would you ever need more than this?

I got one of these as a backup player to use for running. Its great - small, lightweight and you can clip it onto a pocket, shirt sleeve or collar and it will hold firmly without falling off. Only had it a week week and its already taken the place of the Cowon D2 I bought a couple of years ago.

If you're looking for a small form factor, well made and cheap flash player without any frills, you'll find it in the Clip+.

These days, the only real benefit to buying a bigger player is so that you can play video on the fly and indeed the design of a lot of new MP3 players seems to be moving in the direction of Portable Media and Games. But if you're after an old-school, no frills MP3 player that sounds great - this is the one for you.

This is easy to use, the interface is simple (crucial if you're using it for running) and it requires no proprietary software (like iTunes) - just a simple drag and drop, and you have an Micro SD card slot to expand the memory (another $40 or $50 will get you a 16 gb micro-sd). All in all a lot better value for money than the screenless iPod shuffle.

If you are in the market for a budget MP3 player, there's really no reason not to buy one of these.

The only downer is the battery life - at 15 hours its decent, but the battery is non-removable (though the cost of the player is so little that by the time it wears out you'll have got your $50 worth), and I'm not sure how the use of the SD card slot will impact that. On my D2 with its rated 52 hours of battery life - playing music or video from the memory card slot seems to reduce the battery life by up to 50%. Something to bear in mind.
A Fine Mp3 Player

I bought this player in order to replace a dead iPod Shuffle 2G. I'll get right into the pros and the cons.

Pros:

-Great sound from what I've heard
-Battery life. It's rated at 15 hours and this is more than good enough for my needs
-Drag and drop in Windows Explorer! Coming from the Shuffle, this is huge and extremely nice
-Build quality. Doesn't seem 'squeaky' at all so far
-Good UI design. I'm sure it's no iPod Touch or Zune HD, but it's intuitive and straight forward
-Tiny. Not as tiny as the shuffle, but this has a screen and is therefore acceptable
-FM Radio sounds quite nice. Lots of presets
-MicroSD expandability

Cons:

-Included USB cable is incredibly short (~6") and could stand to take a hint from the Shuffle line and include a dock and longer USB
-Screen does tend to 'flicker' just a bit as aforementioned in another review. It's not as big a deal as I thought, though
-Included earbuds sound quite nice, but do seem overly large in comparison to the iPod buds

Overall, I'm very glad I made this purchase over replacing my Shuffle with a 2G or even 3G.
Awesome! So glad I bought this.

Reviewer: aray,
I have several MP3 players (Zune and 2 IPODs)but still needed something small for the gym. I went into the store prepared to purchase a Shuffle but then this little player caught my eye. It had a screen,radio and was expandable..so I decided to give it a try. I'm so glad I did because I love it. Specifically...
Super small and unobtrusive when working out - I put it in my pocket or clip to my top and forget about it.

* Super easy to transfer music...even Zune subscription music. I just need to synch once a month or so.
* Nice capacity... I workout to Podcasts from Podrunner and they are pretty large files. 4G is perfect.
* Battery life is amazing... This is what made me write the review. The battery doesn't drain when not in use..which means using 3x a week for an hour -requires a charge every 5 weeks. Amazing. This is not the case with any other player I have.

All in all ..incredible value for the money.

It just works

This player is perfect. It's small, comes with the clip, it's cheap, comes with enough memory. Drag and drop is so much nicer than dealing with iTunes on iPod Nanos. I'm much happier with this than I was with my old Nano. Highly recommended.

I also recommend getting a USB-charger. You can get one for $3 off Amazon. That's worth not needing to plug your player into your computer to charge.
