Nevermind...

My Clip+ magically came to life this morning and took a full charge. It's working great. I have no idea what happened since all of the variables involved were easily achieved with my other Clips.

It's actually a Sansa Clipless+. The clip broke off a couple of years ago. So I took a file to the remaining plastic bits and filed them off. I actually prefer it without the clip.

Someone is selling a Clip+ on Amazon for $125 - unreal!

New; used ones are going for $90. Who'd pay that kind of money for these?

Catlady · 05-29-2017, 04:28 PM

When I traded in some of the Sansa devices, I got back as much as I paid for them, or more, because they are being resold at such high prices.

booklover6 · 08-01-2017, 07:54 AM

I just sold 2 Sansa Clip Zips on ebay and traded one in on Amazon. Happy about that.

Did anyone notice that Sansa released a new device in January? SanDisk - Clip Sport Plus 16GB* Bluetooth MP3 Player. It's water resistant, too! I want one, when the price comes down. Best Buy has it for $50 right now. Link

Check the OP for specs, and for features not supported.

FYI - this Clip does NOT have a card slot. 16GB is all you get.

That is something I had not noticed. Could be a deal breaker. But the blue tooth feature is intriguing.

Try the AGPTek G05W 8GB Clip Bluetooth MP3 Player. I've had this almost a year, and like it a lot. It will not play Audible files; you'd have to convert them.

silverraven · 08-01-2017, 02:37 PM

I ended up with this one too:

It is more like the Clip+. So far I'm really liking it. Actually, so far I'm really liking these off-brand cheap players!

But yes, still have to convert Audible to mp3.

booklover6 · 08-01-2017, 04:23 PM

Both of those look really nice. I put them in my WL to look at later.

I think my expectations are skewed. I was thinking these mp3 players could receive bluetooth from other devices. I bet it's the other way around, isn't it? I want something small that can receive bluetooth.

Debi · 03-04-2019, 01:03 PM

Has anyone used this model?

32 gig looks interesting.
Wish it had bluetooth.

Rousing a dead beast here!

I had a sandisk Clip Zip (plus?) from 2007 or 2008 that the clip broke off. I found someone who shared online how he glued a type of office clip on his, and was happier than with the original bulky clip. I had a 2-yr Rhodesian Ridgeback then so lots of walking. Heck, I didn't even have a smartphone then! And was playing w/ Ubuntu and .ogg formats. Kinda.

Found 'em, and these things have some serious BITE!

https://acco-product-images.s3.amazo...1400_h1400.jpg

Then life became a blur of illness, confusion, and loss. But that little Sansa stuck it out with me! Had since gotten a smartphone or 2 but hated lugging it around. Women's exercise shorts only have a ONE tiny 1" x 1.5" embedded, undertwisted pocket that at most fits one small key and if you stretch it enough, a tightly folded dog poo bag. The phone wasn't an option except for winter, and klugy at that.

I'm tech-slow, had a billion music CDs, and finally ripped them to FLAC to play on my home hack-job setup. Thought the Sansa finally died on me in 2016 - wouldn't hold a charge longer than 20 minutes? Threw it across the room in a fit. (the *only* fit I threw in spite of my life falling around my ears, I might add!

)

Yeah....realized 2 years later that OH, I had enormous lossless files on it, of *course* it burned through it's power playing those! Duh!

I tried other mp3 players, or bought some on clearance then lost them, so ended up with the APG. That thing would never remember where I stopped, which rendered audiobooks useless on it. Hated it! Even for music.

Come 2019 - I had lost my dog, ability to exercise, but found housing by some miracle. And found 2 new, unused mp3 players that I had previously lost. But my first purchase after the 3-year disability back-"award" came was buying ANOTHER SANSA CLIP!!!

Oh sweet sweet music and audiobooks to my ears! Thought for sure mp3 players were dead, but Sansa had 3 new models out! Whaaaat!! :-D

I noted the lack of SD-Card slot on the fancier version with bluetooth, but 16G is honestly sufficient to make the bluetooth model more than capable. Audiobooks aren't that big and swapping them out once a month is workable!

I was/am still struggling with confusion from some immune thing so just paid less for the 4G Clip Sport and added a huge SD card

I'm just fine with corded buds - just shove 'em in my ears and bliss-out the world.

In that whole process, discovered an official "SD Association" that sets SD memory standards. They have an official free "SD Card Formatter" utility. I really really tried with that AGP thing.

Standardized SD Formatter tho --> good to know.
Esp. w/ so many combinations of technology/Size overlaps of products out now. Worth a peek:

https://www.sdcard.org/downloads/formatter/

I don't trust Windows knowing how to communicate with various readers and cards after they started wiping out drivers.

Just now went and had a duck-duck-go on Sansa Clip and WOT?! Western Digital bought Sansa. I truly live in a cave. Lowered the price of the Clip players tho! Maybe they'll give them some Bluetooth love soon.

I still hold that Sansa's have been the strongest little beasts on the market for well over a decade! <3
