Sandisk MP3 Player Sansa Clip 2Gb Black With Radio feature included

It is an amazing piece of hardware - so small and yet so easy to use. The display is clear, the sound great and the controls so intuitive. My complaint comes when I try to load my MP3 collection.
Connecting to the PC is easy and windows quickly displays a set of folders on the player - they are not real folders. You can only put albums and tracks into the "Music" folder - what happens to them after that is a mystery.
Perhaps the device is aimed at those who download music tracks from the net. To these automatic sorting into "artist" "genre" etc might have some intrinsic value. For me I want the folders that I load into the player to stay as I organised them. In this player the folder names get listed as "unknown". The tracks in my folders seem to be scattered in various folders. Most annoying is the way it handles my MP3 "learn French" lessons. It lists lessons 1 to 9 in one place,18 to 20 in another and the remaining ten lessons at random throughout the pseudo folders it provides.
Previously I owned an ATMT player, bought from Amazon. No such problems with that player - if only the battery had lasted longer!
This player is an example of the modern meddling approach to software design -"We'll give them what we want - not what they want". For God's sake let me organise my files how I like!

This product looks the part but unfortunately it doesn't work with Vista. Despite trawling the web looking for fixes I have finally given up and had to return the player. So be careful when purhcasing...

if you are thinking of buying an mp3 player then look no further! this is the real deal very easy to operate and transfer files and very big on sound!!! it is very small and compact and will rival any of the other leading brands on the market!!

Sounds great and is the coolest looking gadget I've ever bought apart from a michell gyro turntable but this only costs £30! I changed the supplied earphones to Creative Labs at £6.99 and I have no complaints. Decent base and midrange and unsplashy treble, it's not going to get audiophiles throwing out their separates but for music on the move its cheap and does the job and has nice display unlike the shuffle and not that much bigger really.

I bought this for Christmas for my son, I have taken it out of the box and tested it to make sure it is ok (after having to send an awful audiotech back!)and it works perfectly! I was amazed at how small this was, it is absolutely tiny, yet it has amazing sound, easy to use menus, straight to the point manual and it feels absolutely beautiful in the hand. The radio is good too. It is so good I am buying one for myself. Good range of colours too.
