Years ago I bought an 8 GB Clip (without +) and was very fond of it for its size and prize (nowadays the 4 GB versions cost as much). It was a very nice device, most notably for its Rockbox complatibility. But even with the stock firmware, it had support for Ogg, which is not very common. Sadly, the display died some time ago. Nowadays my on-the-go music consumption has decreased as a result, and I use the phone. Though for running and other sports, the Clip was ideal for its name-sake, the backside clip. The problem with such players is their longevity (rather the lack thereof). They don't use standard batteries (which I would have liked very much) and then you can't replace the builtin easily, because the clip is not screwed together (and it's not exactly a big market). OTOH, But if you want a replacable battery, the only choice is cheap-looking cheap-featured USB stick-like players. :( -- Gruß | Greetings | Qapla’ Please do not share anything from, with or about me with any Facebook service.
