Years ago I bought an 8 GB Clip (without +) and was very fond of it for |
| 11 |
its size and prize (nowadays the 4 GB versions cost as much). It was a |
| 12 |
very nice device, most notably for its Rockbox complatibility. But even |
| 13 |
with the stock firmware, it had support for Ogg, which is not very |
| 14 |
common. Sadly, the display died some time ago. |

Nowadays my on-the-go music consumption has decreased as a result, and I |
| 17 |
use the phone. Though for running and other sports, the Clip was ideal |
| 18 |
for its name-sake, the backside clip. |

The problem with such players is their longevity (rather the lack |
| 22 |
thereof). They don't use standard batteries (which I would have liked |
| 23 |
very much) and then you can't replace the builtin easily, because the |
| 24 |
clip is not screwed together (and it's not exactly a big market). OTOH, |
| 25 |
But if you want a replacable battery, the only choice is cheap-looking |
| 26 |
cheap-featured USB stick-like players. :( |
