  • this aint no moo-cow baby

  • i plug mine into the computer and it charges but the computer doesn't acknowledge it as a device so I can't put music on it. any suggestions before I scrap it?

  • @CRYST2SHELL this might be late but go to my control panel and go to install programs then when ur player is pluged in it should show it on there u just gotta install the device

  • nice voice :)

  • This player is like a prayer to me! Thank You once again for Your personal efforts.

  • I very much liked Your presentation and critical review. I best liked Your sentence: "Whatever kind of metric You use, it beats the Ipod 6G nano!" Those people who are making fun of You are ruled by the devil and are the followers of the Satan!

    Thank You once again! (I just bought the Sansa Clip+ and I am very much impressed by the sound quality, the display and the very quick user interface! And also the expandibility). Only thing what I would warn is to install Rockbox on it, very scrappy!!!!

  • Still an using mine. Bought it in April 2009. After almost two years its still going strong.

  • 2 minute intro. HNGGGG

  • Best mp3 player. This thing survived a wash in my washer and booted up fine after that.

  • You forgot that you can put a micro SD in it to hold more music

  • @deengew Not this one. This is the original clip. The clip plus has a micro sd card slot.

  • funniest video ever

  • i actually watched back what i type. thumps up if u get it

  • i just want to see a regular video but you show things i dont want to watch

  • gijo de perra sin funcionan 

  • Thank you 'father'. Even though I am an agnostic leaning atheist, I BELIEVE in this excellent player!!!

  • @AudiophileTubes,

    Thanks for watching!

    .

    It doesn't matter if you're Muslim, Jewish, Hindu, Baha'i, Agnostic, Christian, Buddhist, Atheist or any of the other flavors in the "faith" column.... ALL geeks are welcomed here. :)

    .

    Peace,

    Fr. Robert

  • BURN music to the clip??? WTF!?

  • If you are a mac user don't get this stupid player...

    Don't work...

  • @demirdinc,

    Thanks for the feedback.

    .

    Peace,

    Fr. Robert

  • @demirdinc it works with mac.only the software don't work which you don't need to load/unload music into player.

  • @demirdinc Really? It works On Linux, and Linux and Mac are practically the same OS.

  • @achemachew long time it hit the garbage... I 've got my Ipad :P

  • i was going to subscribe but to much religious crap for my liking for a video that is meant to review a electronic gadget,,,

  • @wickedinsight,

    Ok... thanks anyways for stopping by.

    .

    Peace,

    Fr. Robert

  • @gadgettts no, thank you for the great review, just wanted to let you know if you want more subscribers, you need to really loose the religious bit and make a new channel for that...good luck to you

  • @wickedinsight,

    I understand. Everybody has a different reaction to particular faiths and I can respect that. I just don't see me cutting out what little of my faith is represented in 'gadget'

    Typically, mentioning who I am and who I represent comprises about 10 seconds of a 7-11 minute episode. It isn't just throw-away time for me. It's the reason I do the show... to let people know that there are those of the faith who are NOT anti-Tech, anti-Science, and anti-Logic.

    .

    Peace,

    Fr. Robert

  • @gadgettts well the reason you do the show is to generate enough traffic and subscribers to convert into googles revenue sharing,,,anyhow, my comment was only to help you achieve higher viewers and subscriber count...hence making more money with your ads ;)

  • @wickedinsight,

    Thanks for your comments... I will surely consider them as we move forward with the program.

    .

    Peace,

    Fr. Robert

  • I bought the 1 gig clip. First the headphones shorted out then one week later the USB port broke loose making it impossible to recharge.  It lasted all of 9 months.

  • @nnpp99ww ,

    Sorry to hear about that. They're usually very dependable. We're still using ours from 2 years ago and it works as well as the day we got it.

    .

    Peace,

    Fr. Robert

  • how do you take the clip off of the back???

  • @cuppholdeer just pull it off..for new ones its seems like it gonna break cauz its never been pulled off before .. i thought i was gunna break it so i never did it until i has it for 10months then i just said the hell with it ill do it.. and it worked. =].. but after you do that it comes off easier

  • why must every body say the Sansa is similar to the Ipod. It is nothing like the Ipod. Ipod sucks

  • Just received two 4GB in silver factory refurbished for $55 for the both delivered! Definitely not as nice as my larger 2 y/o Sony 8GB walkman... But for the money is is nice and not too worried about tossing in glove box, jacket, camping, fishing, tool box [contractor] etc. Basically places I don't want to take a $100 Sony. Has a lot of nice features that many price-point mp3's do not. Using a better set of Jlab ear buds I had lying around for better sound quality.

  • Fr. Robert,

    Working on a new home office and planning to mount tv on the wall just above desk level 10' away. Not going to be a home-theater but want a nice enough unit b/c I'll probably pick up an entry level dvd to watch occasional movies [heard sony/toshiba standard dvd units $40-55 range). Not planning to hook up pc to it, my new pc came with a nice flat screen monitor.

    thx.

  • Fr. Robert,

    Sure was, been out for a while. USAF Security Police class of '89. Did my time in the 90's. Would liked to have done my time at Hickham AFB out by you in the islands! Supposed to be a really sweet posting.

    Definitely going to buy the clip, found some really good 4gb deals.

    Any advise on a budget-friendly 27-32" LCD in 720-1080p??? [$400 or less]

  • @BerettaM9USAF,

    Respect to you and your service. I though about Air Force for a while, but AROTC was all they had at my University (Santa Clara University in California)

    As for the budget-friendly LCD -- What will it be used for primarily? Is this a computer screen that will double as a theater monitor? Or a TV that can also be used by a computer?

    .

    Peace,

    Fr. Robert

  • @BerettaM9USAF get a Vizio 32''. 300 at wally world

  • GREAT JOB Father Robert!

  • @BerettaM9USAF,

    Shucks... :) -- Are you really in the USAF? Kudos if you are!

    Peace,

    Fr. Robert

  • does this have an equiliser that you can alter manuelly??

  • @iBeMagzii >>> Yes... and also has preset equalizers [pop, rock \, jazzz... etc]

  • @iBeMagzii,

    Yes

  • Over a minute of an introduction and introducing yourself.. Jesus christ

  • @rocketlauncher2,

    1. Good observation.

    2. It was a total of 10 seconds of introducing myself.

    3. If you look at our episodes from the last 2 years (this one is over 2 years old) we've cut the intro time in half.

    .

    Peace,

    Fr. Robert

  • @gadgettts

    A minute if you included the useless intro

  • i have that mp3 ^^ wich he is holding in the hands ^^

  • nice review thanks.but I think you forgot to talk about the micro sd card slot :P(I dont know if these old model has it but the new ones sure are up to 32gb xD) thank you

  • @blackbonexxx,

    The old ones didn't have it... I think it's time for us to update with a new review.

    .

    Peace,

    Fr. Robert

  • @gadgettts oh sorry yeah you re right! thanks for the review

  • Fr. Robert, I was planning to buy one. In your opinion, having a sansa fuze with atleast 4gb of memory is enough for all the movies and songs cuz I dont wanna use it all for songs? peace.

  • I won this from a contest from Marlboro and I don't even smoke! This thing is great I must say

  • Good review.

    The Sansa Clip(and newer Clip) is the best sounding micro player on the market.

    It has no competition when the price/performance (being SQ) ratio is king.

    I have the Clip and it compares well with even the Sony X-1000 in sound quality, very impressive.

  • There is one other micro player that does sound better then the clip +, the Hisoundaudio ROCOO-A but from what I hear it has a lot of problems and isn't quite released yet. I agree with you though that the clip/clip + is the best bang for buck mp3 player on the market right now along with the fuze, and it stacks up quite nicely even to the teclast t51.

  • i need help with my sansa clip whenever i turn it on it always stops at the first thing which says Sandisk sansa, i will not go to the menu and whenever i use it with USB it does the same thing. Can someone help me?

  • Nice review, as always, very well done.

  • @KindCreature1 Thanks for watching!

  • where can i find out how to put songs on using limewire!!!!!???? help!!!

  • thats freaking fail!!!!!!!! you gotta be like a complete moron to not know how to plug something in the comp and copy over

  • Great review,,,,even for us non-geeks!

  • Woot just had the 8GB for 37.99. Such a great deal.

  • where did u buy it?

  • this is awsome i own one and yea its pretty cool way better than a suffle

  • their so cool but they dont have much GBS

  • ur kidding, right?

  • does this have custom eq? like a 5 band or something i can change the levels on? thanks...

  • nvr mind i saw it @4:09 ... it does

  • you can use windows media player to sync the music to it

  • I originally went to Best Buy to get the clip but the Fuze was only 30 bucks more so I went wth that. Couldn't be happier. Sandisk's stuff is 100 times better than an iPod. Its cheaper sleeker and their techncal support is WAY beter too

  • can you use itunes for this item

    i just got it today on christmas

    and want to put music on it

  • Axxstrix,

    No. iTunes really only works on iPods.

    .

    Peace,

    Fr. Robert

  • religion, jesuits, catholics reviewing technology of all things, is this some kind of joke?

  • crisis, . I'm Catholic... . I'm a Priest... . I'm a Jesuit... . I'm an engineer... . I'm a geek who reviews tech... . That shouldn't be particularly difficult to understand. . Peace, Fr. Robert
  • I'm sorry I put that the wrong way. I can understand an individual being catholic, etc and being interested in technology, although this is still almost as strange as religious scientists. My actual dismay came from the intro of the clip and your channel- specific religious groups giving 'production support' to technology reviews is odd and then laughable when looking at religious history. But hey good on you, im all in support of progress, I just think it's bad theology.

    Peace to you

  • crisis,

    No... I'm sorry for being condescending. I guess I had one too many gingerbread cookies! -- Of course it seems strange that there would be a priest who is doing technology reviews... it would have seemed strange to ME when I was younger.

    .

    I think one of the cooler things about doing 'gadget' is that I get to break people's expectations of what a religious person can and cannot do. It's the only way to balance the negativity created by so many bible-thumping others.

    .

    Peace,

    Fr. Robert

  • amen....

  • Is it normal to reset the sansa clip 20 times within the first two days of owning this piece of JUNK!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Do NOT buy this junk. It has NO firmware upgrade as of 12-20-2009.

    The fine organization is OK, but it STOPs for NO reason. It seizes up.

    I took mine back today.

    fuck you sandisk.

    You wasted a huge amount of my time.

  • Very good review, Sansa makes some of the best sounding players on the market and they are priced to sell.

    Combine a Sansa Clip and Skullcandy Ink'd and you have a very low cost, high quality MP3 solution .

  • The Sansa Clip is a tiny ,inexpensive and great sounding player.

    Great sounding when used with quality in ear headphones of course.

  • Comment removed

  • Thanks for the review. I was tempted by one and the review decided it. By the time the review was finished, I had paid for the player

  • is it loud?

  • Yes you can adjust the volume as you wish!!!

  • Thanks for the review, nice intro as well haha. My iPod fell victim to Apple's ability to make something that fails a few weeks after warranty expiration so I'm planning to buy an 8GB version of this as a cheaper replacement, unless there is something better you can recommend for the price? Thanks again, Neel.

  • wait! does it have a sd slot for more music???? if not is there one with an sd slot??? PLZ reply

  • The clip does NOT have a SD slot. For that capability you would have to look to the Sansa Clip+ --- We're supposed to get one in the lab for a review... but with the Christmas season coming up, who know when they'll get it to us.

    .

    Peace,

    Fr. Robert

  • Yes you can add as many micro sd cards as you want and you can also buy micro slot radio cards with 1000 songs already downloaded, They have oldies, rock, country, mixed media, 80's and 90's pop etc...

  • I found out by accident that connecting it to your car stereo USB slot recharges the clip battery. But I cant figure out why I have to press the skip song key twice to go to the next song and sometimes I only have to press it once.

  • mines got messed up after two months =[

  • Maxtor80 Wrote: "Thanks for the info Father. I just bought the 1gig clip but havent received it yet. One thing though, the batteries are listed as non replaceable but Ive come across post after post where people who are electronics savy have not only changed them, but that batteries from other Sansa products will fit it. Also, I came across posts that suggest its firmware can be updated. Finally, this little guy even has its own forum. I cant wait to get mine. "

  • Comment removed

  • i got one two days ago its cool

  • i love the laptop

  • Thanks for the video - got the 2gb clip from Future Shop (Canada) for 29 CAN! It works with Ubuntu Linux, but do read the ubuntu forum posts on setting it to the right usb mode (different from Windows), and use music player to load and delete files in Ubuntu (otherwise it keeps the deleted files in a hidden directory ON the player!)

  • i just bough today the sansa clip with 4 gb man its just awesome its has a lot of power,he can run music for 15 hours and you can clip it on clothes its perfect for poeple who does sports!

  • CrazyMxRider123,

    That's the thing that clip haters just don't get... sometimes you DON'T want a $300, 32GB monster with all the bells and whistles and just enough battery power to last a long bike ride. Sometimes you want small, inexpensive, and simple... That's when the clip is PERFECT.

    .

    Peace,

    Fr. Robert

  • I just bought the 2GB for 28$!

    Got the Philips SHE8500 headphones for 14$!

    I bought the Sansa Clip nine months ago but returned it to the store since i needed the money.

    But yesterday a local store had a opening day sale, i was about the buy a Philips MP3 player that were on sale whent a guy cut in line and bought the last one, but luckily for me the manager felt sad for me and sold me the Sansa and the Philips headphones for only 42$(retail price 102$)!

    Im so happy!

    /Daniel

  • bigzon,

    Glad it's made you happy. :)

    Peace,

    Fr. Robert

  • Whats the difference between the Clip and the Fuze

  • i trhought this thing was crap till i watched this

    thanks

  • i kinda prefer this one over the new one that came out a week ago

  • Yes this one looks better, The Sansa Clip plus has a weird look. Though it does have an expandable slot that really makes it a deal. The 8gb version is going for only $69.99. Not bad and you will be able to expand it to at least 32 gb. Thats 40gb, 10000 songs a this dinky little player.

  • man that was such a load of shit i had to listen to at the start

  • racketer,

    You didn't HAVE to listen to anything.

    .

    Peace,

    Fr. Robert

  • This is a great mp3 player. Had mine close to a year now.

  • that looks so old fashined -.-

  • xtremerulez12,

    I've often wondered if I should put the pricing in the review. This particular review is 1-1/2 years old, but there are still people watching it for the first time and thinking it's brand-spanking-new.

    What do you think?

    .

    Peace,

    Fr. Robert

  • actually i checked the price and its still around the 40+ 50+ area so thats good = )

  • you can get the 8 gb version at walmart for $49. I bought mine earlier this year.

  • hey i just got mines like 2 days ago and i cant put it down! the music quality rocks the glossy black is a fingerprint magnet but its just really nice the syncing is easy so far i have like 52 songs on mine i LOVE it = D thanks for the review u encouraged me to like mines a lot = )

  • haha 2 gb is 50 bucks i just got mine for 27 and some change great and awesome deal! = )

  • Comment removed

  • I need help! mine wont turn on what do I do?

  • If you use the USB cable to hook it up to your computer, it may power back up.

  • i have a problem with the sansa an it keep saying not enough space for music DB . Please free 90 mb

  • hey my sansa clip been out of battery for like almost a year cause i lost it (i didnt charge it for that long) will it still charge cause i put it in the computer and my rhapsody cant read it and it wont turn on so will it take a long time or is it dead for good?

  • Jesus christ took 2 minutes into the video to actually get to the clip

  • best mini mp3 ever

  • i got this yesterday its awesome

  • can you make your own maps one this mp3 player?

  • i have this one but when im connet to my computer says need install device driver software and i dont know what to do som one help me !!

  • You need to install device driver software, go to there website and download it

  • even when "you make fun of us"... LoL

  • i have it

  • do u like it cos im thinking of getting one

  • got mine today. i got the 8gb in black here in germany for just 50€ (70$). its VERY small, the screen is great and the sound quality is awesome. buy it !!

  • libidesignsTV,

    Well you got the Catholic part right... everything else... not so much.

    .

    Peace,

    Fr. Robert

  • im not catholic but i like your guys episodes.......

    keep on keeping on

  • Thanks Mrmannyguy! -- I appreciate the sentiment.

    .

    Peace,

    Fr. Robert

  • It isn't as easy as it would be if it had a wheel but it does have a pretty fast browsing speed.

    I also have to underscore the recording option to be the best on an mp3 recorder I have ever used. Yep its pretty great.

  • I want to buy a Sansa Clip but my concern is browsing the music on it. it doesn't have the wheel like Sansa Fuse so if you have many songs on it, is it easy to browse them and find one? Should I go with this or Sansa Fuze?

  • Buy Samsung YP Q! JEB ..

    enjoy ..

  • I'm thinking of buying it I'm just worried it will break and that I might be lower class in technology.

  • i got it.... i love it....it is plastic but its under 40$ for 4 gigs!

  • Hello! Can I charge my sansa clip with a Motorola charger and the player will work fine?? Please help me, I lost the cable and someone tell me I can do it. PLEASE HELP ME!!! I'm from Venezuela... Sorry for my bad english

  • I had this particular gadget (1 GB) as to which I really enjoyed! Unfortunately I made the mistake of recharging the battery on my Mac rather than my PC and the screen froze. It never dawned on me that I couldn't use my Mac for this function, in fact it charged the battery just fine... but never the less, the LCD screen is frozen. Any suggestions for this problem? Thanks a bunch in advance either way. I enjoyed your review. :-)  ~Shine~

  • before you plus it in hit the settings menu....go to "usb mode" and switch it to "msc" itll work like a thumbdrive...the default mtp mode is some microsoft crap it probably tips out on a mac...

  • blessed are those who are persecuted and talked all kinds of evil about for rightious sake!open your eye's there is only one christian church, remember god is a god of order not just a liberal god if you are truly christian don't tempt other christians faith respect your brothers.

  • sckryde,

    Yes, it's all true... In fact, I PERSONALLY have been responsible for the deaths of at least 1 million people. Not only has the Catholic Church been behind all war and death in human history, but we also cause tooth decay, the collapse of morality and the midnight munchies.

    Forget the fact that "Pagan Romans" necessarily means they weren't Christian at the time, you are othewise a beacon of truth in the darkness.

    Thanks for pointing that out.

    .

    Peace,

    Fr. Robert

  • ohhhh poor sckryde,

    We COULD have had an intelligent conversation, but since your banter seems limited to stereotypes and 4th-grade comebacks, I'm afraid that this is where we have to part ways.

    Come back when you learn more about "main line" history or when you're actually willing to converse like a person. Till then... enjoy the ban hammer.

    .

    Peace,

    Fr. Robert

  • hey "dude" - sorry to bust your bubble, but you're just an idiot who contributes nothing to society. Look up the "Jesuits" and if you still want to say that shiz to Fr. Robert, as he says, his address is of public record.

  • HAH! pwned little sckryde

    In case you haven't noticed. even those of us who hate teh catholic church have respect for Fr. Robert. Don't try to match wits with him kid, he's been pwning wannabes like you since he started.

  • Oh I get it, he's a priest so that means he's a pedophile and a childhood victim of abuse.

    Wow.. now that's funny. AND CLEVER! Bigotry is so intelligent! Now let's do you!

    Let's see, you're profile says you're from east LA. So we can infer that you're a gang-banging, unemployed, uneducated illegal immigrant with no future, a drug habit that makes you suck dick for crack, and daddy issues

    how close am i?

  • great, another numnuts who thinks he knows everything because he can make up numbers.

  • Why do you guys even bother? Take a look at this kid's channel. It's a collection of wangster tech vids, a bunch of conspiracy nuts and new age religious crap. He's a moron. Just block him and be done with it.

  • its a great purchase!!! had mine for a week and i love it!!!....really well thought out player...

  • I like the way you compared it to the ipod shuffle, though, you forgot to mention another ipod disadvantage, which is itunes. iPod requires you to convert your music to itunes, when with Sansa, you just drag and drop your mp3 files as they are...

  • i dont convert mp3 i just drag and drop them into itunes

  • this guy is m*therfuckin' good!

  • great review father

  • you almost sound like the guy imitiating the guy off the priceline commercial.... nice review though

  • sandisk? mine says sansa

  • Sansa == Sandisk

  • i kno, but urs says sandisk mine litterally says sansa wen u turn it on

  • jojowholuvr,

    When we did our review, Sandisk was still developing the Sana brand -- Now that it's well-known, they're using Sansa.

    .

    Peace,

    Fr. Robert

  • OKAYS

  • im sad, mine fell in the washer machine then a pencil point was stuck in the head phone jack because i tried 2 ply it open

    :,(

  • if you abuse your hardware like this you deserved this. seriously.

  • i deserve it? no i had it on the edge (at the end not the edge wher it would fall in) and my sister hit into the washer and it fell in, theres a nano chip tht is insice u dry and it all works again, but it said u can iuse a oencil, but the point was still in the pencil but it was very loose. its kk cuz i got another 1 wiff my allowence.

  • i would get a heart attack whenever i saw someone abusing gadgets like this :D

  • no it was on the edge wen i was emptying my pockets and when it started up it shook and nit fell in, then my bro gave me a pencil and it got stuck, but i bought another 1.

  • BURN MUSIC TO THE CLIP?

  • No... It has a voice recorder, but not for music.

    .

    Peace,

    Fr. Robert

  • yea, i have the 2nd gen ipod shuffle and will never upgrade to the lame piece of shit they call 3rd gen with no buttons.

  • ive always been an apple fan and never looked at any other MP3 player but i have to admit this little guy is quite interesting, unlike that STUPID NEW ipod shuffle 3rd GEN with no buttons.

    you may just convince me to check this one out =)

  • Father Roberts....I'm sold!

  • i like your review and the way you speak nice .....

  • I just got this today. great deviece! I have all my faves on it. I just hate those three songs they give you when you first get it. But besides that, I LOVE IT!

  • Thank you so much for this review. I will now go for this instead of the Shuffle.

    Do you also review cellphones/PDA phones?

  • Lol Jesuits rofl...

  • I just picked up an 8gb sansa clip for only $50 at walmar.
