With this feature, you can simply clip the player onto your shirt and you are ready to go; this is definitely convenient when working out in the gym.

Besides the above mentioned features, something that you will definitely like about this player is the bookmarking feature. Most of the portable Mp3 players that can be found in the market do not come with this capability and it quite inconvenient if you are listening to your favorite audio books or podcast series. Without the bookmarking feature, you will have to either listen from the start again of fast forward to the time where you stop last time and only if the player has the time seeker function. And again, most players sold in the market do not have such feature.

I owned the first generation clip, and the new 8gb clip+ retains everything that was great about the first while adding all around refinements.

Pros:

• Overall build quality has improved, but especially with the clip mechanism.
• Files on MicroSD integrate seemlessly with the on board memory.
• The volume and power buttons have more ergonomic placement on the device.
• Sound quality remains great.
• Audiobook files can be sped up slightly to save some "reading" time.
• The interface is a little smoother and nicer to move through.
• The square trackpad makes it easier to navigate without looking at the player (good for runners)

Cons:

• No cap on the MicroSD slot, so that could potentially get dirty.

If you don't need gimmicks such as touch screens and web browsers, then this player is quite possibly the best on the market for value, size, and quality.  Read the whole version here: S. Rysdyy review.
