I Finally broke down to Buy a Mp3 ,Doing Research and what features I would like only …No Vids or Pics, Just Music ! All kinds of Music ! FM a Must ! Slot Radio Cards ?.. 4GB ?
Waited for Years for them to Come out with Something like this…
Now: Please keep in Mind I haven’t even loaded the software or Downloaded any Music Yet ! (More Feed back later.)
Using FM radio and Charging Experience Only so far. Very Happy So far…
Plus’s >Very Nice Sounds / You can Hear the High’s and Low’s very Clear and LOUD if Need Be .Holds 1k Songs -WOW ! /Just plug in a Slot Radio Music Card in and Bam you Have 1000 songs with no downloading …Fantastic!..
In which I have not Brought any yet ! But Will in the Near Future/
Minus’s> Unit too small/No volume info on paper Instructions,Which Button? Need LOWER Volume Control settings/the lowest setting isn’t Low Enough for Ears!!/Needs Stronger Antenna for FM !/Doesn’t Seem to Charge up as Smooth as My Camera for my USB.//Yes I had the same problems with Charging as with Some. But I set all settings to Low or Off while charging and maybe my USB Port was slow.//Didn’t Fill Up Battery Icon 3/4 only.) Charge on and off 2 days ,still only 3/4 full ,so I tried My Camera USB Charger , And that Did the Trick ,about 2hrs on . and FuLL Charge Now ! /Wish Whole Unit was Ice Blue ! Not Just the Face …/Had to look online to See Owner’s Manuel One not given, but maybe save Paper also …+/-
More FeedBack in the Near Future , Thanks to All who stopped by to Read this…Take Care Sansa Clip + People
"Minus’s> Unit too small/No volume info on paper "
They should put a piece of paper in the box saying that the manual should be downloaded, and giving the specific address for it. As for it being too small, I would prefer a player around halfway between the Clip+ and Fuze in size that has a built in Clip, a display that is larger than on the Clip+ but smaller than on the Fuze, and battery life that is at least 24 hours(35+ hours would be better though), and a scroll wheel. Imo this could probably be accomplished if the display is made to be a basic alphanumeric one, with photo and video being eliminated from the player. I would prefer a basic low power display like on a digital watch that is on all the time while the player is on, and a dedicated backlight button that has a backlight on only while it is pressed.
First Just a Little info on Myself ,and How much I Paid for This
SanDisk 4gb Sansa Clip +
Male/Calif./U.S.A./low 50’s/Inventory Trade
BestB-50 Bucks(49.99) plus 10 for 2yrs Warranty-BB/No Extras yet//Armband/Shells/Wallets/etc…
+'s >> The Clip on the Back Works Great,Buttons are easy to Navigate through Menu’s/Lighting Very easy to see ,except in Bright Sunlight,Bright light Blue only,(can be adjusted) looks good/
>+'s for Earplugs that came w/ Clip +//Great Sound All Around (When you get a Strong Station) easily adjusted by moving earplug wire or cord Around a bit when weak/Very Comfortable to Wear All Day/Hrs-and when you do get tired of Wearing them in your ears,Just hang them backwards over your ears…/end of earphone plug Gold Color,not sure gold tipped or plated ,Gold anything Good Conductor/Sleep Feature Works great/Can’t wait to get a Card !
-'s >>Earplugs//Looks like you just bought them at the Dollar Store/I will prob upgrade later,(But Remember They Sound Great !!)/ Left and Right Indicator way to small (eye strain just to see them) so I put a small corner of a old sticker on the right one ,on the inside of the plug ,not seen from the outside,works great!/Volume Control needs a lower setting to Fade(low) and then Back to High//Default Setting for setting your Favorite station starts at [Delete All your Pre Set Stations?]not good start when selecting save /
PS.- Paper Pamphlet(given) on the Back says:For Full Sansa Clip + user Manual is Available at
