Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I purchased a Clip+ Plus over a year ago and have enjoyed so much that I purchased a Clip Zip as a backup as I never wanted to be without my portable music. At first glance it seems to be a slightly upgraded model with a color screen and a stop watch. Which just about covers the main changes. The problem comes when you start loading it with music and play lists. Just like the Plus model it supports external memory cards up to 32gb. However, unlike the Plus model, the Zip model does NOT support play lists stored on the external memory card. As I see it this makes the memory card a useless waste of space, no way I'm going to navigate 32gb of songs one at a time. I contacted SanDisk and confirmed that this is the way it is intended to work so there is no fix expected. My recommendation (and what I intend to do) is to stick to the Clip+ Plus model that actually works as expected. As for the color screen that displays album art, I'd rather have the better information on the currently playing song as well as the additional storage space for more music files than album art that only stays visible for 30 seconds if at all (screen goes dark after music starts to save battery life). The old mono screen is much easier to read as well. I have loved Sandisk products for many years but this time they just missed the mark by such a wide margin it's scary.
