The Clip meets my running preferences as well as any other player I have ever used. I ran with a Nano for a while but definitely thought the Shuffle was an improvement in terms of weight and experience. I prefer running with an extremely lightweight music player, so it is not noticeable and doesnвЂ™t bother me during my workout. Now that I had all my running tunes on the Clip, it was time to take it out for a test drive. The music and playlists synced with the player perfectly.

The only thing that saved me was trying to connect the Clip to Windows 7 running in Parallels and use Windows Media Player to manage my music and playlists. I was becoming pretty frustrated with the whole process wishing for the simplicity of iTunes and my Shuffle. Some of these applications got me part of the way to my objective and a few failed completely. I tried XNJB and iTuneMyWalkman to name a few. I consulted the internet to see if there were any suggested applications that would enable me to make this happen. This makes getting files onto the mp3 player a snap but does not allow you to create playlists to keep the 4gb of music organized.

On my Macbook, the device appears as a external hard-drive and allows you to easily drag & drop mp3 files into the Music folder.

The Sansa Clip is both Mac and Windows compatible. The one inch screen is relatively large (considering the size of the device), bright, and very clear.ДЄlong with its screen, the Clip has a built-in FM radio tuner with support for up to 40 preset stations, a built-in mike and voice recorder, ability to make on the go playlist, and an adjustable five-band equalizer. The little screen does not support photo or video files but does provide you a great deal of information and control. While its not as tough as the 2nd & 3rd generation Shuffles, it more than makes up for this in features and functionality.Д¬onsidering its size and relatively low cost, the Sansa Clip is incredibly feature rich. The Clip probably could not take as much punishment as the Shuffle but is hardy enough withstand the riggers of most situations. I am fairly certain I could not break the Clip by crushing it in my hand (although, I am not sure it would pass JulieвЂ™s creak test). With its small but effective screen, large capacity, and great overall functionality, it seems like the ClipвЂ™s design could easily have been the evolutionary path of AppleвЂ™s 3rd generation Shuffle.

The earbuds SanDisk includes with the Sansa Clip are good enough for exercising and (at least) on par with the standard iPod earbuds. Thankfully, the clip is replaceable in the event that happens. The clip is the most breakable part of the little mp3 player. The ClipвЂ™s clip is made of plastic and the spring is stiff enough to keep the device attached to your clothes. The only item to mention on the top and bottom of the Clip is the tiny microphone hole on the back-top of the device. The right side of the device has the volume control and headphone jack. The lock function is also nice so that the device is not accidentally tweaked while I am running or working out.

The non-proprietary input/charging is a definite plus with all the mini-USB cables and chargers I have in my world. Both of which are great features that SanDisk engineered into the Clip. The left side of the device has the standard mini-USB port and power/lock control switch.

The home button is an excellent feature that allows you to quickly get to the main screen if you are lost in the sub-menus. The center button clicks whatever is selected on the screen. The control wheel looks like it should have scroll functionality (like on the iPod) but clicks in four directions up for play/pause, down for the menu, and left/right for reverse/forward skip. On the front of the Clip there is the main control wheel, center button, and a small home button. MP3, OGG, FLAC, secure WMA & Audible filesДЇor a plastic device, the Clip is well made, a quality device.
