Considering Purchase but Have a Few Questions

[maddy25]

Hi,

I’m considering buying a Sansa Clip Zip to replace my Coby mp3 player. What I’d like to know is:

1. How are the files organized? Can I go to “Artists,” and be able to scroll through the artist in alphabetical order?

2. How many playlists can I make, either on the fly or using the computer?

3. Does the audio change at all (get quieter/louder) when the song changes? (aside from differences in the music being played. )

Thanks!

The manual may help you with your questions.

1.  Yes.  Via Artists, Albums, Genre, Songs, your Top Rated; Audiobooks, and Podcasts; plus, via Folders on the player.

2.  On-the-fly, 1; via your computer, lots–I don’t know if there is a limit.

3.  Nope.

Note that with the alternative Rockbox firmware, other capabilities are present; such as, if I remember correctly, song fade-in.  Rockbox.org.

Hope this helps–just buy it.

Item #3 isn’t really a huge deal. Are you going ahead and purchase this?

Thanks for the input. I ended up buying a Philips GoGear–I’ve had one before, so I decided to get an mp3 that I’m familiar with. I’ll keep the Sansa Clip in mind though, in case I get another one.

Thanks again!
