I still have several original Clip and Clip+ that I use for the gym (one in each of a couple of gym bags and one in a locker, depending on where I go), for travel (so I don't burn the battery in my phone playing music) and at work (just for background music). I don't do ebooks, so file structure doesn't matter much to me, but I do really like that, tiny as they are, you still get a little screen that helps you navigate the options and playlists.
I love both the Clip and Clip+, and have only had two die so far - two of the gym ones that eventually got "sweated to death" - no matter how well I try to wipe the unit dry, the sweat does finally get into them. (And I've lost two to my husband and one to my son...sigh!)
Back when Woot was independent, and really truly a "daily deal" site, and used to have Sansa refurbs as their daily deal on a pretty regular basis, I picked up a bunch of Clip and Clip+ at ridiculously good prices. I am really glad I did, because I agree with others - they do seem to be getting worse, not better, as the product iterations go forward.
And yes, bluetooth would be nice, but I'm dealing without it okay...

Maybe they should come here and ask how to design their next player.
