Thank you Miikerman, some good reading there. It makes me wonder why Sandisk brought out the Sport which in many ways is a step backwards from the Zip - the song limitation, no time display, ditching radio recording etc. And then you look at the Sport+ - ditching the card slot!
I would have thought Sandisk would pay very close attention to what people want in their devices (within reason of course given size and cost.). I am sure this forum could design the ultimate clip by committee!
I guess we are dealing with a listening format that is strictly “noughties” in approach and there is no mass market out there anymore, just a dedicated following who seek the holy grail of mp3 players.
But then, if vinyl can make a comeback…
