My CLIP+ does not show the album title while playing. It only shows song title and artist. This is ridiculous, and should be easily fixed.

All it takes is a couple of button presses to find out the album name. There is only so much room on the screen to begin with.
It’s a simple fix. They should do it like they did on my old Sandisk m250. Just show song title/album scrolling.
“All it takes is a couple of button presses to find out the album name.”
Instead of the silly spectrum analyzer, they could have a press of the center button bring up a screen with the Album name, track duration, battery percentage remaining and a time display. The Clip+ has a built in clock. Accesing the time from it should be made easy. For those who do for some reason still want the spectrum analyzer, they could have it accesible, but only with several button presses(such as how the system into is accesible).

Let’s say you are out for a walk/bike ride/hike, away from your house/apartment. I would assume that most people would carry their cell phone in that situation, in case something happened…so rather than wake up the screen on your Clip+ to find the time, (assuming that it was ever implemented that you could do it) wouldn’t it make more sense to look at your phone instead, and save the DAP’s battery for music…especially if you’re unhappy with the battery life in the first place?

Most people don’t carry a cell phone when jogging or running. They want to have as few things as possible with them then.

I don’t disagree with either of you, but . . . doesn’t anyone wear a wrist watch anymore? It’s the 1st thing I put on in the morning and the last thing I take off at night.

What if you were to fall and sprain your ankle, or if you were bitten by a rabid badger…wouldn’t you want to be able to call for help?

Nope…haven’t worn one in years.

That’s exactly why I don’t run! You can’t always tell which of those badgers are rabid & which ones aren’t.
Do you jog or run in a deserted place? Most people jog or run in places where there are others passing by.

Many do wear a watch, but not while jogging, running, or lifting weights.
