  WHY would you buy an iPod Shuffle???

  by flashfriday on August 27, 2008

  Pros: This thing is tiny yet it has all the necessary features that the iPod Shuffle doesn't (screen, FM radio, and voice recorder). Music plays great and included headphones work well. It also support more audio file formats than Shuffle.

  Cons: Battey life may be an issue but this is true of all mini MP3 players.

  Summary: I am just simply baffled by iPod fanatics that insist on ignoring the fact that the Sansa Clip is far superior to the iPod Shuffle yet costs almost half the ...

  Summary: I am just simply baffled by iPod fanatics that insist on ignoring the fact that the Sansa Clip is far superior to the iPod Shuffle yet costs almost half the price. I hope they have fun blindly forwarding through their playlists. Sorry Apple, but you just can't justify the high price of the Shuffle considering all of the features that it lacks.
  
  Don't overlook the importance of the FM radio feature either. There are a lot of gyms that still use FM signals for their TVs. This comes in handy when you want to watch Judge Judy while on the treadmill.

  Excellent sound and features for the price.

  by dc_alpha on February 4, 2008

  Pros: Small, excellent sound quality, good feature set for the price.

  Cons: 2GB might not be enough for some.

  Summary: Although I have the red version, it is otherwise the same as this model. The sound quality is not only great but the Clip can also just get LOUD, whereas as I've had problems with other MP3 players in the past that don't provide adequate volume levels for my headphones.
  
  I purchased the Clip because I DON'T need video or picture display capabilities. I subscribe to Rhapsody's "To Go" service and my Clip works beautifully with it, so I always have a rotating and fresh set of tracks to listen to.
  
  All I want is music. The FM radio tuner and voice recorder are features I don't bother with, so I can't tell you much about their functionality, but if you just want to listen to your digital audio, it's hard to find a better value for your dollar. I picked it up at a local big-box retailer for $55.
  
  And by the way, the actual clip on the device is handy but can be easily removed if you wish.

  Bought it - Love it

  by clwtblue on January 2, 2009

  Pros: I really love the clip. I am able to just clip the player to the back of my collar and forget it. The cords are out of my way and the player is small and light weight. I love it.

  Cons: I wish it had a regular battery. I have to work without it while it is being charged by my computer.

  definitely worth the price

  by iruka* on November 15, 2008

  Pros: compact, voice recorder, clip, radio, audio quality, to-go playlist, rating system, file delete, foreign language support, comes with short usb cable

  Cons: placement of headphones jack and takes a while to recharge even a little of the battery, but that's ok

  Summary: I just got this yesterday as a little workout mp3, but now I'm using it all the time. It's replaced my Zune, surprisingly.

  Summary: I just got this yesterday as a little workout mp3, but now I'm using it all the time. It's replaced my Zune, surprisingly.
  
  First of all, it's really cheap. This was about $60 from Rite Aid and that's pretty good when you consider the audio quality on this thing.
  
  I also liked how the volume rocker is separate and how there's a menu button, not just pressing a central button (or something like that). Speaking of the central button, you can program it to either rate the song or add it to a to-go playlist when you hold the button down. Really loved that. I also love players that allow you to even have a to-go playlist or rate it right there.
  
  One key feature I loved was how you can delete songs right from the player. I didn't want to go home, connect it then delete it. Now I don't have to.
  
  I also absolutely love love love that there is foreign language support. I was dying because my Zune didn't have that.
  
  It also comes with a short USB cable, meaning that I don't have to find my mp3 on the floor every time it's charging.
  
  And finally, the clip part. It's just absolute genius. You can remove it if you want, but I keep it on all the time since I'm always clipping it onto my jacket now.
  
  One weird thing was though was where the headphone jack is. This isn't the case for me, but some people who have the angled jacks find it annoying how it covers the volume and they have the turn it every time they change the volume. It would be nice if they put it on the bottom since the bottom of the player is completely empty.
  
  And just on other complaint is how long is takes to recharge. It takes forever to recharge just 1/3 (or was it 1/4) of the battery. I'm charging it right now and it's been charging for about 40 minutes. Usually, players that I've used take about 15-30 minutes to charge 1/3-1/4 of the battery.
  
  Other than that, it's EXCELLENT. If you want the iPod shuffle, ditch it and go for this. Why would you pick that over this? It has a screen for starters. Radio/voice recording, excellent sound quality, it just has a ton more features and it's just as cheap.
