SanDisk Clip players, at least in the past, typically have come with a number of free tracks already on them, so that you have listening joy from square 1. ???
I have bought 3 Clip Sports in the past 9 months. All appeared to be new in sealed, over-the-counter, SanDisk packages.
All 3 players had about 8 music files and 8 Podcast files included. The music files appear to be demo versions by “indie” artists (similar to free tunes available on the Amazon website). The podcasts appear to be from NPR archives.
You can decide what to do with these files.
The players were not wrapped in a protective film. They had a 1x1 sq inch sticker covering the album art screen.
The earphones came in a tightly wrapped plastic bag with 2 extra pairs of earbuds.
The package includes a micro USB cable in a separate plastic bag.
