Review on πŸ–€ Black Sandisk 8GB Clip Player by Chris Edgerton

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Very very dissatisfied with this product

Sandisk players are getting worse and worse. I have to tell you that I only use these players for Audible books. I started with Clip Zip, it was a great player. Then I bought a Clip Sport and oh my god it can literally take a few minutes after you hit the play button before it starts playing and if you add more memory you have to go to the memory card to see what compares to the clip that showed everything from the books. I mean I hit the play button and actually forgot about it and maybe after a minute or three I'm surprised that the player starts playing and when you want to start playing the book and hit the resume button it seems that it takes even longer. If you try to fast forward or rewind, you have to wait a few minutes before playback resumes. I gave one away and the other just sits there because it's too painful to use. Then I saw the Clip Jam and bought two more players and what a 'F' it was an even worse product. Everything about Clipsport also applies to this device, moreover not only did it not show everything under the books but also when listening to the book I wanted to look at my choices on the map and when I did this I cut the book myself have been listening. Also when it comes to the ending of the story it always seems like the ending of the story ends before it gets to the next book which is very frustrating. The display on this also disables the display of the book title. I understand that all of these devices have a lock button, but then again I almost never used it on the Clip Zip as the button seems more responsive. I don't like using the lock button as I listen most of the day, but I work part time, get a lot of calls and need to turn off the player with one touch. The buttons are so sensitive that with a light touch you switch to another book and I have to go back to the book and it takes minutes for the original book to play. Why can't they make it as the clip's original zipper that works great. I only use it because my clips that I've had for 4 years have worn out. Can Sandisk go back to a format that actually works? I would happily buy some zip ties if they were available. Come on, why do you keep making worse players, make more zips with clips, and I'll happily buy some more zips with clips. I listen to books for 3 to 4 hours or more every day and I get very frustrated every time I try to use Clipjam. Please fix your product and make many people very happy. If you're listening to music, I don't know what's going on. If SanDisk fixed this product, it would be for the best.

Pros
  • Pleasant to use
Cons
  • Nothing here
