Audio, interesting

In February I'll fly out to Indianapolis.

Reading on planes and buses puts me to sleep. Not so in cars, go figure.

So I thought that I would take my Sansa Clip Plus with me. It is really great for audio books.

But it looks like a TV show image of a detonator.



Lets try the Sony reader. I dragged all of my music onto a SD card, put it into my 600, and guess what? The songs have album cover art!

Ok, Ok, EVERYONE, but me, knew about this.

I see lots of discussions about which reader is the best, gotta have this or gotta have that, but little about the actual use of ereaders themselves.

Audio, interesting.

P.S. - just dounloaded an audio book to the 600 and it too has cover art.

One of the things that I like about the MP3 function on my ebook reader is the large album art (its only a little smaller than the actual CD cover). Unfortunately, it is very limited as an audio player, it just plays the songs in alphanumeric order with no shuffle or playlist capability. It also significantly reduces the battery life.

Its usable as an audio player in a pinch, but I prefer to use my dedicated audio player (a Sony NWZ-A818, an 8GB flash player) when listening to music, podcasts, and audiobooks. Unlike my ebook reader, it is fully functional with a long battery life.

By the way, from what I've read the Sansa Clip Plus is supposed to be an excellent player and a worthy successor to the Sansa Clip. If I decide to replace my Sony player, the Clip Plus is one I would definitely consider.

But the question is would you try to go through a TSA security check point with a Sansa Clip Plus?

Unlike in Israel our TSA leaves much to be desired. Believe me, I work with them from time to time.

You might find yourself faced with a choice of tossing the Sansa or missing your flight. I'm sure you will atleast go through a "personal" search.
