I could just imagine the Chinese designers sitting at their desks laughing their heads off as I struggled to use that horrid thing. The buttons wouldn't work when you pressed them, but they had a propensity to work when you didn't press them however. Trying to play audiobooks, the stupid thing would randomly decide to skip ahead in a file a few seconds here, a few minutes there, and sometimes all the way to the next file. Which was a random file as well, sometimes not even in the same audiobook.

I have been using the Ruizu X52 clip mp3 player for almost four years, and I love it. Before I bought it, I had tried several other Sansa Clip clones, none of which worked well. The X52 has great battery life, which was a prime consideration, and variable speed playback. The clip did break off after a while, but I replaced it with a stick-on clip; otherwise, I've never had a bit of trouble with it.
