Enjoying it!, November 19, 2009
My old mp3 player finally died. I just wanted a basic player - no bells and whistles - I have that on my phone. This fits the bill. I really like the FM player also. I highly recommend it.
Sansa Clip+ = Must Have!, November 13, 2009
I was skeptical about this Portable Media Player at first, but it is pretty well rounded media player. Yeah, it's small compared to other general mp3s, but it provides a lasting battery life that will keep you going through the day, great quality sound, and an option for more memory for songs via microSD. Which is all packed in a device that is the size of your palm.
Teenie, Tiny, Terrific!, November 12, 2009

Plain and simple, the sansa clip+ is a great little mp3 player. It's so light and small you sometimes forget where the music is coming from. You won't have to read a user manual to operate the clip+, it's completely user friendly. Pros: - It's tiny and it has a clip. It's so lightweight that it can be clipped to practically any article of clothing without worry of it falling off. - The clip+ has a brilliantly lit two-tone screen that makes it easy to see, even in the daytime. - It's storage is upgradable. You can buy a cheap 2, 4,and 8gb card. Eventually these cards will be available in much larger sizes for much cheaper. - The clip only costs $39.00. Well, at least that's what it cost me at Best Buy. Sorry Amazon, I was too excited to wait for shipping. - It works seamlessly with windows media player. If you're a windows user you may have discovered the numerous major improvements Microsoft has made to the media player. I like it so much I prefer it over iTunes. Even if you don't want to use WMP, you still have the option of dropping your music into the clip+ like a thumb drive. Cons: - It's so small you have to adjust to navigating with a bent thumb. Otherwise it's a two hand device. - Sound quality. Don't get me wrong here, the sound is great. There's just a little something missing. There's not enough umph. It needs a little more amplification. All in all its worth every penny you pay for it.

Great MP3 palyer, November 9, 2009
This Scandisk mp3 player is a nice, compact and very expandable. The sound quality is surprisingly good for a MP3 play in this price range.
A 50 dollar piece of garbage., October 26, 2009
I only had this MP3 player for over a month and it already died. I plug it in to charge and no juice. I absolutely loved it for the fact that I could add the SDHC card and use my collection of Slotradio cards. Now my Slotradio cards are useless.

3. Anything But iPod

Grahm Skee at AnythingbutiPod.com is happy with this update to the popular SanDisk Sansa Clip, especially the addition of a microSD memory card slot. However, he notes that FM reception is a bit of a letdown.

4. Computer Shopper

The SanDisk Sansa Clip+ earns yet another Editors' Choice award from ComputerShopper.com. Like other reviewers, Matt Safford is impressed with the sound and new microSD slot. His only complaint is the tiny screen, which can be hard to navigate.

5. Electronista.com

Jon Fingas at Electronista.com says the SansaClip+ is "possibly the best wearable MP3 player yet." However, he thinks SanDisk can lose the slotMusic and slotRadio card support for future players, because it's not widely used anyway.

Ginny Mies at PC World says the SanDisk Sansa Clip+ feels a little sturdier and more solid than its predecessor. Mies is also impressed with the audio output from such a small player.
