-----------Old Stuff------ I been waiting for these since December! I lost my old clip and couldn't work out with my e250! These are a must have!
Best Source: Email -Available again May 20,2009.
There's definitely some feature the Buy.com website left out. -With the recent firmware upgrade, it plays FLAC & OGG vorbis. -Not to mention one of the best sounding MP3 there is.
Didn't really need it, but I bought one to use as a cheap and decent backup player. With 1% FW Cash Back and 1% for using my Paypal debit card, I think I made around 29 cents. Is that enough for a pack of gum these days?
I've had a 2Gb version of the clip for about a year or so now and I love it. Great sound, only have to charge the battery once a week or so (With daily use, 1+ hours a day) and it's tiny. Great controls & screen too. I would like a little more storage but overall no complaints.

I wouldn't suggest these for anyone....I bought a 4gb unit in December at Circuit City (my stupidity). If they were still in business I would have returned the unit to them. I have returned 3 units because after one or two charges none of my 3 computers will recognize them when they are plugged in to charge. Finally Sansa agreed to send me another type mp3 player to replace the clip. Their customer service is terrible and it takes 2 weeks to get them to agree to take the return. Once you send the unit back it takes them more than a week to tell you they received the unit and another week or 10 days to get the replacement to you. I have had a working unit for 4 weeks since I purchased the original unit in early December. BUYER BE WARE
The player is great, the last time Buy.com did this they sent me one that wouldn't turn on and then told me to go to the distributor to get a replacement. Not what I wanted to do, if they ship one DOA, they should replace it. The distributor warranty shouldn't kick in until AFTER they sent you a working one and of course, I had to pay shipping for the warranty on a DOA item.
Do yourself a favor and buy a new Sansa Clip, not from Buy.com I got another from Newegg, new, 2GB version via coupon a few weeks ago for $21 shipped

I love my Clip. I've had it for 18 months now, and have never had a single problem with it. I wear it exclusively to work out. As far as durability, it has been through 4000 miles with me (cycling/running). I have dropped it numerous times, and the only problem is a tiny scratch on the cover.
Heck, for that price, I might pick up another one for myself....

Did you look into it possibly being a problem with the USB port on your computer??? I just dont want your one bad experience to cause other to miss out on a great player. I've never had an issue with mine in 18 months and everyone else I know loves theirs. Never heard of this issue before. Also to anyone complaining about the capacity, its perfect for the gym. The size actually forces you to update your music often. Also its drag and drop for adding music so it couldnt be any easier to do. I would think by now most people have a smaller cheaper player like this for working out and a high capacity more feature packed one for work or trips.
It's a great MP3 player, I just had to have one for back up. Small portable, 6 months running and still fine. The firmware keeps getting updated for better FLAC support. And now it's about perfect. The sansa firmware update program is really simple to use too. Just plug in it in and you're good to go.
It came with: -MP3 -Cable -Sansa headphones.

Shoot you won't regret it.
Here's some facts 1) The Sansa CLIP base on a whole new chipset compare to your old c250. 2) cnet states the C250 sounds like crap Source, and it states the clip sounds amazing. Source 3) Check the front page for more reviews.
Anyhow! UR IN LUCK! you can put Rockbox on your C250 and it'll make it sound a lot better. Not to mention so much more features on your C250 not available on the clip. Here's a small list.
