I love these little Sansa Clip Zip players. Incredible sound, long battery life, tiny little player that holds many books as well as music at a time. I listen to books as I drive, too, and the controls are easy to use without having to look at the player to pause, back up. After totally wearing out my last one playing loads of audiobooks from my library, I ordered the exact same player to replace it. However, after enjoying it for a little over a month, I noticed that it wouldn't always pause when I wanted it to, or back up, or stop. Then the battery life went down to only a couple hours. When I'd only had it less than 2 months, I plugged it in and it overheated and died. Completely. And yes, customer care at SanDisk was great, they issued a RMA immediately with prepaid postage so I could return the defective player. I should get my new replacement player in a couple days, really quick turnaround time and I am impressed by how SanDisk stands behind its products. I've been listening to my audiobooks on my phone in the meantime, and yes, it works, but I can't wait to get back to using the little Clip Zip again!Read full review

I bought the sandisk sansa clip because online reviewers said it was good for audiobooks. It is not. It loses its place randomly. Not often, but often enough to irritate. Another reason for the two stars: when you charge it or pull the charging plug it begins playback. This is absolutely insane, because if you don't shut it down immediately, you lose your place. Another reason: The battery does not charge up completely. This means constant recharging. Another reason: The unit simply shuts down when the low battery is reached, AND the battery indicator in not precise. This unit has been relegated to the drawer, to be used as a spare when my iPod quits.

The sansa clip+ player comes as advertised, it may not have as many bells and whistles as an iPod or other mp3 players. But it's also half the price. Actual memory available on device is closer to 7.5GB rather than 8. The MP3 player is small and light which makes it easier to lose, but sound quality is fine, the earbuds that come with the player are very comfortable. A cool feature is you can add songs to the "golist" playlist by pushing a button. Completely made of plastic, this player is durable, i've dropped it a couple times and it barely even scratched (as opposed to my iPod nano which almost broke). The directions are a bit lacking, but it has pretty standard controls. Hold to fast forward or rewind, press to skip, and so on. Never had any troubles, the only reason I stopped using it was I received an engraved iPod as a present.Read full review
I bought this product because I am using it intensively. In fact, this time I bought two of them at once because I do not want to get stuck without it. I like this product because it is easy for me to use. My spouse has impaired eyesight and can not read, so I upload digital books to this product and she listens to the books with earphones (she has also impaired hearing). Between books, she can also listen to the radio that is part of the product. What I don't like about the product is the socket for the earphones. This socket wears out quickly, and that is the reason I have to buy this item again and again. Still, this is the best product of it's kind - believe me, I have tried many others but they did not last. I prefer this product for it's excellent battery-life, it's ease of use,It's choice of menus and it's uploading from the desktop.Read full review
This is a very lightweight player which can even plays ogg files. Battery live is excellent, with two workouts a week, I only charge it every 2 months or so. With Rockbox installed you can play any file format and battery live improves even further. Major downside is the clip which is not very sturdy. You need some discipline to structure your music, otherwise its hard to find it on the small display. After years of service I though mine had died so I bought a second one. However, after the battery was drained it restarted and is not functioning fine again. Its a shame these are not produced anymore.
