Yup, Expandible with micro SD card.
That's kind of amazing. The sweet spot seems to be 16 GB-- ~$22; if these things popped up at $40 again you'd have yourself a 24 gig player (with radio) for around $60.
Would have to hear it to really judge though-- if the sound is not as good as a 5th gen Nano, I consider the $100 difference well worth it.
I won't buy a new iPod on principle now because of the lack of card expandability. We Apple-niks have come to expect built-in limits as some kind of obligatory neutering.
That's a good point and you're right, I guess I have.
Presently it's looking like the 5th gen Nano is the last portable music device Apple will produce that suits my needs. Will definitely expect expandability next time I make a purchase.

Hmmm . . . guessing you don't use noise-isolating plugs then? They're the only option for me as no others offer adequate bass.
Nope, many times I only leave one earphone connected so that I can be a little more aware of my surroundings. I use my Clip mostly for podcasts. Works fine for music, but I have less time to sit around listening to music.

BTW-- it becomes ever clearer that the forum folk who have an interest in small portable players are a minority. When/where do you use yours?
Used a shuffle first gen. not the turd gen, "gum stick" variety for a while while I worked outside in the yard or bike riding. Ended up giving it up to my moms. Nice and simple. Memory was the

I bought one of those once-- tried it out, thought the sound was harsh and brittle, lent it to someone and never saw it again-- my donation to Apple.
Occasionally I'll have earphones in while doing stuff, pretty much only when coming home from aforementioned bus ride and not yet wanting to cut the cord-- I can't imagine bicycling for one minute with earphones in though.

When cycling, I only had one bud in my ear. The other ear was reserved for traffic
."The only problem I found was the manual syncing with iTunes. Not difficult, just another step." Should have included. NON iPod MP3 player syncing with iTunes.

Someone posted a link in an earlier thread for a program that allowed iTunes syncing with Sansa players. I drag and drop files from iTunes onto the appropriate folder on the Clip and call it a day, but some people might prefer the Sansa iTunes sync software.
