Review on Black SanDisk 8GB Clip Sport MP3 Player - Enhanced 🎡 LCD Screen, FM Radio, and SD Card Slot - Model: SDMX24-008G-G46K by Andre Pendergrass

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Reliable but ridiculously difficult to control music

I bought this Clip Sport on a friend's recommendation for its durability after ruining 3 small radios and a cheaper factory MP3 player. . This is a real workout because I have a 40 hour job that is monotonous and I probably do it at least 6 hours a day. After 3 months, the buttons are still intact with no "fragility" and the clip hasn't come loose (buy a silicone case. The clip isn't very strong and pops out of the apron a couple of times a day). I have over 450 songs. in it and the internal memory is just over half. The radio is decent, although it actually gets a few fewer stations than a cheap MP3 player. It took some experimentation to figure out how to store and navigate my stations, but it's a great little radio if you have strong signals and aren't working in a steel box. The reason this isn't a 4 or 5 star rating is that the music is ridiculously hard to control. The general little "manual" doesn't say anything other than drag and drop. Searching the SanDisk website reveals that you have to manage your music through Windows Media Player, which is a nightmare. Every time I try to create a playlist with songs already installed, I get multiple copies of the same song. Multiple times this resulted in every song I own syncing no matter what folder it was in. There is a section for podcasts but when I actually try to download one I can see the file in it via windows explorer when connected to my desktop but I can't find it on ClipSport. If you want to shuffle a big list of all the songs you have or listen to one album at a time, that's fine. But if you want half a dozen playlists for different moods/activities, prepare to be disappointed.
