very very good, but ... while it lasts!

Note that the CLIP + can benefit from ROCKBOX ([...] firmware installed dual boot, which opens the capabilities of the player:

starts in less than 2 seconds!
possible reading during charging!
plays all current formats: mp3, mp4, m4a / b, wma, mpc, ogg, ra, rm, ape, flac, aac, aiff ...
TRUE parametric 5-band equalizer: winning, Freq, Q factor
spatial (Crossfeed)
Parametric compressor
dithering
extreme personalization of the display (see Photo customer-sheet)
Programming the start-up time (alarm clock!)
more than refresh data after upload
management much more flexible playlist
read photo and video files! (! If so but hey, it's still a little monochrome screen pixels, however the management of the return of grayscale is somewhat elegant [...];))
= 3 games
and many others ...
It then passes the status from very good to excelllent !!!

(Oh, also: if my plant as precedent for the reboot press 'On / Off' for AT LEAST 30 seconds !! and go see the procedure on débrickage rockbox.org for more resourceful)

UPDATE (April 2011): after 6 months, in the end he refuses to restart recharge ... well here it is flat p3 (such as a star pals, no shocks or ill-treatment ...) 'm not about to repeat the experience of SanDisk shot!

(September 2010):
Very good sound, quick start, the menus are not bad facts (but still a little heavy because of unnecessary functions (rating titles!?) When you leave a yepp) and autonomy is good (by tonnage cons is not very reliable, it falls exponentially!)
The only real problem he happens to plant ... a freeze in early title (of a compatible format as read when other attempts) that paralyzes the drive for thirty seconds ... a bit annoying anyway knowing I have the latest firmware and the next version is not announced.

Do not hesitate to pass the USB MSC rather than Auto mode to improve compatibility (XP for example)
and the geographical area in "other than europe" for sound !!!
