SanDisk - Clip Jam 8GB* MP3 Player - Blue

Using this with a set of ear muffs at work. Small and light enough to attach to the frame of the muffs without adding hardly any additional weight.

I have been a Sandisk fan for about as long as they have been making portable media. I trust their memory cards with all my photography. And I have had several of these little MP3 players over the years. My old Sansa Fuze ran forever until the battery finally bloated the whole thing apart after 10 years! But enough nostalgia... This little Sandisk Clip Jam is good and bad... The bad being really more annoyances than anything, but enough for me to deduct stars. Bad 1 - 2000 song limit? Seriously?? I have a 16gb Micro-SD card installed, which it has no problems reading. BUT... Why oh WHY in the year of 2018 is there STILL a limitation of how many songs it can randomize? I have over 3000 songs on the card. It peaks out at 2000. Not really sure WHICH 2000 it is randomizing amongst... the first 2000? A different selection of 2000 each time it is started? I dunno... but seriously.... Time for Sandisk to grow up and eliminate this ridiculous song limitation. Bad 2 - The port locations. USB out one side and AUX out the other? Say what?? Obviously, the Sandisk designers never actually USED this thing or they would have immediately moved the plugs... BOTH ports should be coming out the bottom, or at least the top, so you can easily and conveniently have your cords going the same direction out of this player. But nope. They go out opposite sides effectively making it the size of your hand by the time the cords get redirected to wherever they are going. I spent some extra money and bought 90-degree adapters for both USB and AUX so the cords can exit the player going the same direction. Other than that, it's good. Screen display is basic, but scrolls titles. It is easy to select random/shuffle play, despite the 2000 song limitation. Battery life seems to be good. Menus are intuitive and simple. Size is just right. It's lightweight. Clip is sturdy enough. Overall, I like the unit. It plays music as it should. I just wish the backing code was updated from its 10 year old brethren and that song limitation done away with...

I was looking mostly for a FM player and found this compact MP3 player with FM! It is very small and lightweight. Surprisingly good sound! Headphones, comes in packages, not a good ones so you better use something good. I use this player with Sennheiser CX 300II. Sounds even better!

I did a lot of research prior to me buying the Clip Jam and there is really nothing on the market that met my requirements of lightweight, small, that I could transfer my iTunes music to and had an FM Radio, except the Clip Jam. I was concerned about how hard it could be to transfer my iTunes music over to the Sandisk Clip Jam, but it was extremely EASY to do. And from a quality of sound, I find no difference in quality from the Apple Shuffle to the Clip Jam. And my main goal of having something with an FM Radio was achieved. The Clip Jam did great getting all my favorite local stations. The plus is that you can set stations for easy changing while on your Run. It is true the Clip Jam does not have the metal casing as the Apple Shuffle has. It's made out of a plastic type material,.. but it doesn't feel cheap or that it would break easily,.. it just feels light, which is what I wanted for my Runs. It also has the ability to use a microSDHC card to expand the 8GB it already has. Which will make it easy to download a lot of music for longer Runs where you may want more diversity. It also has a screen to search and put your music into folders which makes it easy to organize on the go,.. and to top it off it not expensive. Comparing it to the Shuffle, I was able to get the Clip Jam for $5 cheaper. A very small price to pay to keep one focused on Running to Music which is a life saver. I love it! I'm a Clip Jam fan for sure... it will now be my new go-to music product for Running.

I bought this MP3 player to kill time on the road to a place that was 48 hours away. It lasted about 9 or so hours without charging in between. I've also been able to charge it on my desktop, laptop, portable charger, and wall outlet. It's held 500+ of my songs and I've taken up ~5.6 GB of the 8 GB. It's great! It's very small so it takes up no room.

Nothing lasts forever, and that's especially true of technology. So mp3 players are going the way of audiocassette players but I sure hope this one remains. I download library audiobooks like nobody's business, listening to them day and night--while gardening, walking, doing housework, you-name-it. They are so tiny I can attach them to my clothes without needing any armband or worry about them bouncing around in my pocket. I can pause, stop, advance, or shut down the Clip without every looking at it. I've been a fan of Sansa Clips since the first versions. I've had all kinds of brands of mp3 players and Sansas still remain my favorite. The one caveat about this one is that they do not handle audiobooks seamlessly as the old Sansa Clips did. I have to create the path of Audiobooks\author\book title for every audiobook I download or they will get mixed up like a bunch of music mp3s. I'd give it one less star because of this but given the choices (or lack thereof) of other mp3 players out there, the Clip Jam is still #1. (So I'm hoarding them now.)

The Clip Jam is a very nice little MP3 player. It has a bright black and white screen that's very readable. In addition to its 8 GB of onboard storage, it can use MicroSd cards and can handle up to 2000 music cuts. For me, its biggest feature is the ability to play Audible audio books. It can sync with the Audible Manager program and does "bookmark" your place when you pause or leave a book. Overall, the Clip Jam is a good option for anyone who wants a compact music/audio book player.

I bought this over the more expensive version because I didn't have a lot of music. When I got this device it was smaller than I thought it would be but was amazed what it does. Uploading my music was easy and making my settings so it would shuffle after playing a selected song instead of shuffling a random song made it better. I would recommend using a different headphone though but for the price this device does what I want and I have lots of room to add more songs.
