[QUOTE="ssampier, post: 5212278, member: 10205"] I own an Ipod Classic (hard disk player), a Sansa Clip 4 GB , and iPod Nano. I use the Nano far more often. The Sansa clip is a nice tiny player, about the dimensions of a small matchbox, but much thicker. It does include a small FM tuner and it works well, but I honestly never use it. I think it blows the old iPod Shuffle out of the water, but doesn't really compare to the Nano. I haven't used the new Shuffle. [URL="http://www.sandisk.com/products/sansa-music-and-video-players/sandisk-sansa-clip-mp3-players.aspx"]Sansa Clip MP3 Players[/URL] The real question is: are you a fan of iTunes or Windows Media Player? How do you feel about WMA? iTunes auto converts any WMA file it finds--except for the protected WMAs. The next question are about budget and physical size. Are you using this while jogging/running or cycling? Or in the car with a mini-DIN attachment? How big is too big? Or too small? How picky are your ears? Obviously you can always use aftermarket headsets and mini-DINS on nearly all the units, but some players are more audiophile than others. How much [I]gearhead[/I] do you want to be? Have you hacked your TiVo or loaded Tomato on your router? If so, I'd recommended an iPod so you can load Rockbox. Additionally, do you want it to do more than play music? Ipod Touches are awesome since they play music and can organize with calendars, track appointments, play games, and use the web. [B]My personal opinions[/B] I like the iPod because it seems really suited for music playing. All the other players I tested were good at everything else. Second, I really like all the iPod accessories available. Additionally, I don't mind iTunes. I preferred the old MusicMatch software (which was purchased by Yahoo and ruined) and iTunes is a solid B. I really don't like Windows Media Player. Finally, a more subjective measure, the iPod seemed to have a fit-and-finish I like. [/QUOTE]
