Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

NOTE this REVIEW is for BOOK listener only! If you haven't tried the regular CLIP for books, I recommend it. Books unlike music, average from 5 to 14 hours long. They have to be chopped to 45/60 min files for downloading. These parts do not correspond to chapters. When you stop you may not notice which part number you stopped at. When you restart the CLIP and select your book in the Audiobook folder, it highlights the last part number you were at. When you select that file, it asks you if you want to resume or start from the beginning. Also if you are listening and are interrupted you can pause and restart. If you missed what was being said, due to loud noise or your boss... you can hold down the rewind and go back to the exact spot, even if you were at the beginning of a new file and wanted to rewind to the end of the last file. This scenario happens often when listening to books. That is why the CLIP is so great. It knows the difference between a book part and an individual song when you load the files to the AUDIOBOOK folder! WARNING!!! Unlike the original CLIP this version (CLIP+) treats each Audiobook part as a separate song. If you accidentally fast forward to the next book segment (file) you cannot rewind to the previous part. You can only jump back to the beginning of the previous part and fast forward through the 45 min or 60 mins the place you want. If you miss this place and fast forward to the next part you have to start all over at the beginning of the previous file. The tech support does not even know that this is a problem. I was told mine was broken. I exchanged it for a new one and it does the same thing. Even if you create a play list (they recommended that as a solution) it treats each book part as separate song and starts from the beginning of each file. I have tested this against my regular CLIP using the same books and transferred the same way. SO BUY THE ORIGNAL CLIP WHILE IT LASTS. By the way don't use MEDIA PLAYER to transfer, it does not recognize the AUDIOBOOK folder, you have to drag and drop into that folder with your file manager. If you are using AUDIBLE use the AUDIBLE folder. If you downloaded library books with OVERDRIVE software make sure to transfer to the Audiobook folder. I am a loyal Sansa fan; I had 2 Sansa Express's and 2 Sansa Clips, but this new CLIP + is such a disappointment! ALSO library books (DRM) do not play from the added memory chip. SANSA why ignore the growing Audiobook market? FIX THIS BUG or don't market it as a CLIP.
