Questions about playing from microSD card

MP3 players Sansa Clip | Clip+

We have some questions about using the MicroSD card:

  1. Does playing from MicroSD card drain battery life quicker than if playing from the Clip+? If so, how much more?

  2. Is playing stuff from MicoSD card slower to access compared with from the Clip+? Are there gaps when going from one track to another?

That’s an answer from a Sandisk Guru.  Is there more that really needs to be said?   :wink:

And for a second opinion, I agree with Miikerman.

You become a guru after making lots and lots of posts.  I too aspire to guru-hood.

And to answer part of your original question (not to mention furthing my ascent to guruship) – there is no difference in playback whatsoever between the card and the unit memory.  However, when you add music, it will take longer to refresh the database, simply because there’s more data for the player to sort through. 

I bought a Sandisk 16 gb card for about $30 on Amazon, and it works great.  However, of course, “16 gigabyes” doesn’t _ really _ mean 16 gigabytes, to Sandisk or to anyone else selling storage.  Just a pet peeve of mine.

A very convenient loss if you’re selling, and a very incovenient loss if you’re buying.  Didn’t know it was seven percent – that’s a LOT!  Like I said, pet peeve.
