SanDisk Sansa Clip+ (8GB, black)

Pros: Supports many file types; infinitely expandable memory w. microSD cards, durable. FM radio, built-in recording, small size, no hard drive. Battery life on high volume, just fine.
Preset & Programmable EQ.

Cons: It may be my misunerstanding, but when I put it on 'shuffle'
it mixes my microSD nusic with music loaded on the mother
chip. I think it's my fault. I need to specify certain
folders, I'm sure. Easy to misplace, it's so small.

Summary: It's small, light, intuitive and has every function and more
that I would expect from an mp3 player. I love it. The boys
at work had me order three for them as well. We all love
the Sansa Clip+. I lost mine for a week. It was outside on
the lawn when I found it, sloppy wet from 2 downpours. It still worked. I thought surely the water would have got in
and destroyed it, at least through the SD slot, but still
works fine 3 weeks later, without loss of data.
