I actually like my Clip+ as much as my Clip Zip–I like its sturdy feel. And it does all those great things we want in a Clip player.
Differences: the Clip+ does not have aac file support for DRM-free aac format files, the Zip’s small color screen with album art display, the Zip’s time-of-day indication, a “sports mode” with timer and lap time, a fast alphabet scroll capability in lists, the Zip’s menu customizability, the Zip’s improved microSD card fit, and the Zip’s improved EQ.
