Advantages: Big detailed sound, lots of features, lots of volume, the price Disadvantages: Only to be bought as a present for someone else if you have a better one
I recently purchased one of these mp3 players for my mum having noticed it in the Argos Catalgoue. Having owned an mp3 player for the last year I have quickly took to the benefits of having hundreds or indeed thousands of songs at your fingertips. When the player arrived, I was surprised at just how small this player is, it looked unassuming and compact on the illustration but was not expecting something so miniature. When my mum listened to it she ... ...to hear it for myself. Firstly the mp3 player has a nice design and layout, it is easy to navigate through the range of options which include listening to all music, music by artist, by category etc. You also have the option of adding bass boost to the player which initially I felt lift the weight of the music and give it a fuller feel. Also of interest is the radio which allows you to connect and lock on to quite a strong signal for fm stations. ...

Advantages: battey life, storage, price Disadvantages: small screen
great little mp3 player!excellent battery life with an absolutely cracking memory for a great price.
i paid about £60 for mine online and its the 8gb version. battery lasts forever, especially as i use it as the mp3 player for my car sterio with the volume up full and shuffle on constantly, think the last time i charged it was about 3 weeks ago! for such a small device, the battery is second to none.
not too easy to use windows media as i used ... ...but once i figured it out twas all dandy. you have some great added features with windows media such as being able to store movies, photos etc on the sansa (even though you cant view them) for transfer to another player. it works well as a memory card too, so if you have word docs etc, store away on the memory and just upload them to another computer.
screen is nice and easy to read, if a little small, colour contrasts work well making it simple ...

Review of SanDisk Sansa Clip 8GB
Advantages: small, lightweight, stylish Disadvantages: USB charged, keeps hiding at the bottom of my bag.
I have a pet hate when it comes to Ipods, so when my old MP3 player finally gave up the ghost I replaced it with this sandisc sansa clip 8GB. I've had it for a couple of weeks now, and it's proving to be a handy little device. It is small, good looking, lightweight and holds a fair amount of music. Setup was easy (just plug into a computer and go), with a good 'drag and drop' option for transferring files. The fact that it's compatible with Windows ... ...but still clear to read, and radio is as good at the one on my mobile and the controls are easy to use. The main drawback is probably the need to recharge it with a USB port – though you can get adaptors (I'm currently using the LUPO USB Power adapter mains charger UK) The USB cable itself is also rather short, but it hasn't proven to be too much of a problem. One other tip I should give is that when you first charge it, don't interrupt it until ...

Advantages: Small size, large memory, FM radio with record function Disadvantages: awkward menu, no charging plug,
Having had the Sansa Clip 8GB for about a month now i have some observations. Positives first, it really is tiny and very lightweight and has a good appearence. Fm radio has pretty good reception when out and about. However it doesn't seem to have the best battery life if used on shuffle mode and the menu isn't as easy to navigatge as i would like, obviously thats personal prefrence, i think anyone used to a ipod would be fine with the menu. It doesn't ... ...connection to charge which isn't always easily available. For me the small size and weight is also a bit of a negative issue as it can quite easily lose itself in a deep pocket or bag and lead to some mild panic before locating it. Overall though its a good little product that isn't too expensive from the right place. ...
