This thing is awesome. Had it for over 5 years, no problems and was dirt cheap. UI could be better but hey the handling is great, no pointless touchscreen, easy volume adjustment and the "clip" part is super useful for running.
Glad this is not touch screen so perspiration gets in the way. I'd been looking for the right device for a very long time. This is it. It's small enough, easy to load music (easier than the Apple iPod to load music no more going to iTunes store). It also has a radio, has memory for podcasts - and Bluetooth also. And has a clip too & water resistant for the times if it rains when I run/jog. I should have bought one sooner but oh well. I'm impressed with it! Got mine on sale at Best Buy.
*Glad it's not touch screen, how many times you were running and the perspiration on your fingers made the volume go to MAX, scares* *the crap out of you.*
Nice. Gonna buy it. I'm sick of using my battery hungry phone as a MP3 player. I mean holy hell! What is wrong with smart phone manufacturers when you can't even get 3 to 4 hours of battery life before it almost completely drains your battery? 3 to 4 hour battery life for playing AUDIO??????????????????
Sorry to hear that. Ulefone Armor X8 literally went from 96% to 93% while taking a long walk for around 3.5 hours, listening to music. I got it for my mom, and I think maybe I should get one for me, too.
If they could only build car radio head units, boomboxes and home stereo receivers with a microSD slot and all the readout and Playlist navigation functionality of this SanDisk. For my SanDisk, you can use Amok on your windows PC to convert WMP playlists to M3U playlist folders this unit will support. Older SanDisks/Sansas synced WMP playlists directly but it was a slow process prone to failures. M3U is a universal playlist management format.
One of the best reviews I have every viewed because whatever mp3 device people review, nobody talks about the interface and navigation. This review was very helpful and unfortunately, it strikes SanDisk out of my desired brands as I only listen to Albums separated into folders and I am very particular about the songs within each album coming in their actual Track List order. I get the feeling SanDisk will not work for me. I have already wiped out some other obscure brands for the same reason. So far, I have not found anyone come close to Sony. Unfortunately, Sony's price tags have become ridiculous, and they have stopped producing the affordable models.
I paid $43 at Target a month ago, and I only bought it, because I thought I lost my 16 GB Clip Sport Plus that also has Bluetooth on it, but I found it a week after I bought this one, now I have 2!
I'd like to see the link for $30. Because the only SanDisk mp3 players I saw on Amazon in that price range are all refurbished. New players cost are in $50 - $60 dollar range.
Aquariel Charm well, I'm from Mexico, and I bought my SanDisk in Amazon Mexico, and it came New, dunno where came from,but is from Amazon USA, here's the link to the mp3 at Amazon MX www.amazon.com.mx/Sandisk-Clip-Sport-8GB-Reproductor/dp/B00HCMZ2SE/ref=mp_s_a_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1531037265&sr=8-2&pi=AC_SX118_SY170_QL70&keywords=sandisk+mp3&dpPl=1&dpID=41TFaF5F7-L&ref=plSrch
I think I got my ClipSport about 4 years ago (2014). It was cheap considering mp3 players. Today it stopped working - maybe the battery is burned out and would cost more to replace the battery than replace the player itself. It was all I wanted - it plays music and I don't like touchscreens. I just wish it could last longer.
@@pardwayne I want to buy this for someone who needs an mp3 that has a clip, I wanted to know if that's also the reason why you use it, instead of your phone.
Use an aux cord. Get a aux cord, it has the 3.5mm headphone jack on both ends. One end for the MP3 and one for the car. Which you may have to look for but should have. You should be able to get a aux cord at you local retail store for a buck or two. You should be able to plug it in the car, press the "aux" button on your car radio if your car has a button for it, then select your song in the MP3. Hope this helps
i made a file for ASMR in Folders but when i put the stuff i want in the folder is also appears in my music too, kinda sucks it does that but i can live with it
This MP3 player will not only accept 64GB sd cards it will also accept up to 128gb sd cards. I have a 128gb SanDisk sd card in my Clip Sport MP3 player.
The volume controls are terrible, very stiff and awkward. Also, this mp3 player has twice deleted a whole whack of podcasts I had on it. I threw it out yesterday and am using the Sandisk Clip Jam instead, a great little reliable player.
Mine works well enough, though I just had to find a video on how to wake it after it locked up and wouldn't power on. But the interface is trash. The various features aren't intuitive and the bluetooth won't automatically connect to my car unless the device is on when I turn the vehicle. The shuffle resets every time it's turned off. I hate to say it, but the old ipod was way better.
Just buy a cheap prepaid smart phone and get more bang for the buck. I bought the red one and I barely get any battery life from it and its only a year old!
It's like 18-20 hours non stop listening Less than an hour to charge, you can listen to it while charging but I don't recommend it, ruins the battery a little quicker
Do not buy this if you listen to tons of audiobooks or podcasts. There is NO VARIABLE PLAYBACK SPEED unlike other MP3 players. The Clip Jam has playback speed up to 1.5x but no bluetooth.
get ready for another one after a few months.....everyone i've ever had simply dies after almost about a year...no explanation no nothing, not working....
The user interface on this MP3 player is terrible compared to that which a Rockbox based MP3 player provides. It is buggy, has less features, doesn't use the display efficiently and is generally awkward to use. For instance, every single time I have transferred new content to it it forgets the position it was playing. Fast forward and backward is very slow and a pain to use. I only bought this to replace my old Sandisk Sansa Clip + player, where several buttons quit working which sadly has been discontinued, which was a true gem when running the Rockbox firmware. This does not, unfortunately, as of the time writing this, support Rockbox. Until it does, I can't recommend it and if possible, if you're about to buy it, do really try to get your hands on it before you do.
*So... alternatives maybe??, i'm sick of all these negative reviews and not one alternative given or recommended. What model are* *you talking about anyway this is for the sport pro isnt it?*
@@GoldenGateNum9 Well, I only tell it as I see it. It is difficult to give a good "review" on a product that in so many ways is a complete disappointment. A newer model should surpass an older and this one simply doesn't! In my comments I mention two MP3 players as these are the only one I so far have owned. I bring the couple of years older model up as a clear example as it was better even without the replaced firmware. How can I "review" or for that part recommend something if I haven't used it??? As for you being sick of negative comments regarding this specific brand/model, I don't get it - you rather like people to lie about it telling its great when it isn't???
@@cristalclear5625 So what is the older model which is the better one as you mentioned, like year?? serial number?? etc, no not "lie" just a positive outlook after the end of the world.
@@GoldenGateNum9 As clearly stated in my text the older discontinued model which i refereed to was the " Sandisk Sansa Clip +".

@@cristalclear5625 Sends me google and wikipedia links, couldn't give me just one year of product manufacture. Thank you so much for your help, but I already dealt with my problem mr useless grumpy guts.
now tell us about the SHIT VOLUME !!!!!! The reason its got a great battery life is because there is no volume ! i just sent mine back ! it really was 100% SHIT , on FULL volume at the gym i could not hear a thing whilst using ANY of the machines .............. REALLY , DO NOT BUY THIS CRAP !
Its a POS. The buttons are too sensitive. Turn it off and stick it in you pocket next thing you no its turns back on because your panse pressed the button back on and now your battery is dead. Also went to turn mine on and my 600 MP3 songs are all gone. Says no songs avail. Yep...its a true POS!
That's interesting. In my case, a couple of weeks ago, it deleted all the podcasts I had on it; a whole whack of them gone into thin air. I gave it another chance and yesterday it did the same thing. I threw it in the trash. I will use the Sandisk Clip Jam instead which has been reliable.
I would advise to NOT purchase this MP3 player. My computer with Win 10 will NOT recognize this device. I've gone to all of the troubleshooting suggestions and nothing works. I bought a Walkman instead. When I was able to use it with my older laptop, I couldn't download playlists. The older versions were user friendly. This one is a nightmare! Don't waste your money!
keepitsimple 1 Hate to break it to you, but there is something wrong with your computer! I have the SanDisk 8GB Clip Sport MP3 player and I also have Windows 10 and have had absolutely no problems using the MP3 player with the Windows 10 software!

so upset the ipod shuffle was discontinued! looking at this thing now :(
I switched from the shuffle to the first-gen Sansa Clip a long time ago and couldn't be happier. Give the player a try and I'm sure you'll love it!
Beach Life Those morons
i still have the original one from like 2005. It still works but the battery at this point is basically dead. only lasts 30-45 min on full charge ;(

These sandisk reviews are a dime a dozen. What we really need is videos on how to get music from Amazon Music, etc to n into the sandisk.

Does it have a micro sd card slot? If so, how much memory does it support?

no
