The Clip Zip on the other hand has physical buttons that react just as well as they can.īoth players offer about the same sort of functionality. It’s not that it’s truly horrible, because it’s not, but when needing to navigate a lot through the device, it becomes a chore after a while and a true test of patience. The touch-sensitive buttons on the Fuze+ are to me its down fall. But the Clip Zip has its own advantages, such as being super-small, attachable to clothing and has real buttons. Based on this pricing alone, the Fuze+ is the much better value thanks to its robust screen and capability to play videos (if you care for that sort of thing). Final ThoughtsĪt the time of writing, the Clip Zip 4GB retails for about $50, while the Fuze+ 8GB retails for $70. Unfortunately, you can’t simply click and drag a song inside of this prompt to change the order, but must rather use the arrow buttons at the bottom. Songs can be dragged and dropped into this prompt to add them to the list, and songs you no longer want can just be deleted. When perusing a folder, you can right-click multiple files and create a playlist file, then double-click it to manage it.

Rather, you’ll need to take advantage of the playlist creation tool in Windows Media Player (clunky unless you want to setup a sync), or in Windows itself. One immediate downside to both Sansas is that playlists cannot be created on the players themselves. Bare in mind that folders can be used as well, but weren’t in this particular case. Seen the shot below, the Sansa looks no different than a regular storage device. Here, you’re able to go into either or and copy over any of your media to the respective folders.

In this menu, you can do some fairly basic things, such as import photos, set up sync, read the manual and so forth.Īccessed as a regular drive through “Computer” in Windows, both the external and internal storage can be managed. The reasons for that could be related to the amount of storage on the device or the fact that SanDisk just doesn’t expect people to use its simplest player in such ways. Interestingly, this sort of menu system is not available on the Clip Zip. In the above shot, the Fuze+ can be seen along a multitude of other devices connected to the PC, while in the below shot, you can see what appears after clicking on the icon above. You also lose the ability to “Safely remove”, but that doesn’t seem to be an issue since the player finalizes each transfer safely on its own. Once connected to the PC, a Sansa will show up as a device using a special protocol that hides things like the storage file system being used. I mentioned that Sansas can be used like a regular flash drive, but there is another catch. In addition, iTunes mutilates the file naming schemes and structure on your iPod, while on the Sansa, all of that is left alone. Because of SanDisk’s implementation, Sansa players can be managed under any OS, not only Windows or OS X. That’s a trade-off I can handle, however. But the Sansa must refresh itself after being unplugged from the computer, and with large music collections, this process can take a couple of minutes. Because iTunes updates your iPod’s database as the music is being copied over, it’s good to go after ejecting. To be fair, there is a caveat involved with this. While an iPod or similar device requires iTunes, which is neither lightweight or quick to use, copying music to your Sansa is as simple as copying over the files as if it were a flash drive. Works great, and in the morning I have a fully-charged Clip, ready to face another day.In the intro I mentioned that both Apple and SanDisk had different approaches to their respective players, and as far as personal taste goes, I much prefer SanDisk’s.
I’ve gotten into the habit of recharging my Clip overnight this way. But the display will turn off after the time-out period that I have set in Settings, while the battery continues to charge. If my Clip is powered down when I connect it to the AC adapter, the Clip will automagically turn on. To me, the preferred way to charge the battery is with an AC adapter (a wall adapter) with a mini USB plug. For this reason it is not advisable to leave the Clip connected to your computer any longer than necessary to transfer songs and charge the battery.
As you would expect, this is no good for the life of the pixels. In that case the Clip will automagically turn on when you connect it to your computer, and the display will always be on as long as the Clip is connected to your computer. In your first post, you specifically mention charging through your PC’s USB port. Bugeyed, I think you’re talking about two different situations.
