"Great Little Player"
Pros: Good sound, controls, and features in a small package
Cons: Not many compared to others in niche, I'd like a cover for the mini-USB port
Summary: There are masses of MP3 players and even a lot in the tiny, on-the-go, rolling-stone (wouldn't that be a great name for a little one), workout, gym-friendly niche. It would be silly to compare this to the latest Archos, for example. So I'll use the undisputed standard in MP3 players, the Apple iPod-series (in this case the iShuffle, which I initially considered and demoed, BTW), as point of reference.
Sound quality - much better
Sansa Clip just sounds better than the iShuffle and most others in this niche.
Features and controls - much better
The iShuffle shuffles and thats about it. You can play Sansa Clip in about any mode that you might expect from a MP3 player using its small and very functional screen. Plus it has voice recorder and FM Radio. Its quick and easy to download tracks from PC, though Rhapsody could be better (but that's another story).
Capacity - much greater
This version of the Sansa Clip has 2Gb compared to 1Gb of iShuffle. I originally wanted the 1Gb version of the Sansa Clip and ordered it, but it was on backorder. I walked into a big box store, saw this one and immediately got it.
Size, clip, battery - about same
Light as a feather, about the size of a stick-match box, has clip, and the controls are easy to use while you're in motion. Battery life is rated at 15hrs, which seems about right as I used mine for about 12hrs before recharging last time and it had a little left.
Price - less
This version of Sansa Clip was $60 (1Gb version - $40 online); iShuffle was $80, none of these will break the bank.
The Sansa Clip really is a great little MP3 player. I got this one for workout sessions, but it makes me want to upgrade my old DJ to an iPod or Zune (somebody needs to get on the ball and develop a 'Sling' function between AudioVideo Player and 'Media Center').

Ok, so we understand that it is a problem connecting with rhapsody. Has anyone figured out how to fix this problem? I just got my Clip today and I've been working on it for hours and still nothing.
