Awesome little MP3

I researched before I purchased these mp3 players and can't say enough about the Clip. After begging for (and getting) iPod Shuffles, my girls gave them up when they tried these. They are slightly larger than a Shuffle, but still very small. The sound is terrific and the other features such as FM radio, the ability to record from the radio, a viewing screen and great price beat the other brands hands down. The colors are very appealing, too. This Clip was refurbished, but the only thing that didn't appear new was the packaging. The Clip package comes with earphones, a short usb data cable that doubles as a charger and a cd. It is easy to use and you can view the Clip's contents on your computer. One nice feature is that when you add music, you don't lose what is already on the Clip if you have removed the previous music from your computer. It also has a regular mini 5-pin connection, so you can easily find accessories such as chargers/additional usb data cables. I have purchased several  more

Great player, upgrade the firmware

This is a great little player. Good sound (don't use the included headphones though), FM radio, and with a firmware upgrade, it is even better! Works well with Ubuntu Linux, and again, even better with the firmware upgrade!

I highly suggest you upgrade the firmware. You either need to do this in Windows or do a search for the download to do it in Linux. Just download the zip file, extract, and put the .bin file in the player root directory. With the upgrade Linux will recognize the player as a music player instead of just a flash, and will open up on a music player. Additionally it will add added audiobook and podcast support and folders. It will also allow the player to recognize .ogg files, which is a great addition for even better quality music files!

Radio is a great feature but reception is a little weak. That is common among MP3 players, as you really don't have room for an antenna. Great buy for the money. Don't waste money on that product from the fruit company. You  more

Delicious Sound

Con's - Nothing major, all fixable.
The headphones included don't take advantage of the sound quality this thing puts out. When you hook it up to a car the volume is low compared to other players so you have to raise the car's volume a lot higher.
Pro's -
Hands down the best sound I have gotten from an Mp3 player, the bass response is just amazing. I bought some Skullcandy 15 buck headphones that insert into the ear and its like having a subwoofer in your ear. Not an annoying bass, its a smooth responsive bass.
Its small cute and tough as nails. I take it on long hikes, runs and work (construction.) The battery life is OVER 15 hours of continuous use. Oh and mp3s are coming in higher bit-rate so get a higher gig one cause the new mp3s will eat your space. A cave man could use this thing, display is bright and buttons are responsive, menus are easy to navigate. Get one.
