"Excellent player"
Pros: Does everything it is supposed to perfectly
Cons: None so far.
Summary: I've had the Clip for over a week now and I've used all of the features. I have a 30 GB iPod and an older Sansa already but I bought the Clip specifically to use it with Rhapsody To Go. I have been extremely happy with the Clip. At first it wouldn't work with Rhapsody To Go but I read online that you need to format the player first. Once I did that it worked seamlessly. I love being able to delete songs on the fly. The Clip is small but has a nice heft to it. The controls and the belt clip are sturdy and well made. The screen is very bright and clear. Sound (using Sony Fontopia earbuds) is great - just as good as any player I've heard.
I love my iPod but this inexpensive player does what none Apple's players do and it does these things very well. FM tuner, voice recording, on the fly playlist manipulation and subscription music at a very reasonable price make this player a great product. If I didn't prefer iTunes over all the other music library managers, I would go Sansa all the way.
Personally I would prefer a removable battery. But mp3 players with removable batteries are hard to find these days. While it is true that you can't use the player when it is connected to your computer, the previous reviewer is incorrect about the wall/car charger. I plugged the clip in to my iPod USB wall charger and it works fine.
I'm trying to think of a downside to this player but honestly I can't. So far it does its job perfectly.

I have a new player, and as you obviously know how to make this thing work so well, can you give the true basics on operating it, starting with how to charge it? this is my first music player smaller than an enciclopedia, and no-one gets basic enough in explaining it. Can you help?
