Completely different class of product. Sansa Clips are cheap plastic players for running, iPods were (supposedly) premium players. I think a Cowon player would be the nearest analogue.

At this point there's no advantage to using a dedicated MP3 player over a smartphone unless you're willing to spend enough for a hi-fi player. If you need something small and lightweight to use while exercising that's the only context a Clip would make sense.

>>64757789
Clip has expandable memory and plays FLAC, something my iphone cant do
>>
>>64757860
can you play doom on it? thats the ultimate test of being shit or not
>>
>>64757860
>iphone
OK, there's your problem. In that case get a clip, but honestly FLAC is not necessary on a device like that.
>>
>>64757925
doom comes with rockbox
I love mine OP but I got it for free. I see em online for what $50? There's probably a better alternative for that price.

To be fair, listening to music does drain battery life. Which can actually be a problem if you have a phone with shit battery life (of which there are many) or don't have the option of charging your phone mid-day.
>>
>>64757789
I fucking hate smartphones and I'm planning on going back to a flip phone as soon as my contract expires. Mine doesn't have an SD slot anyway not I would play my music from it even if it did. There's probably a smartphone that wouldn't piss me off but I'm not willing to try 5 different models until I find one I can tolerate. Shitty class of tech IMO
>>
>>64758294
I would sell it on the internet, but i'm too lazy to
>>
>>64758008
I'd have to look into it, but probably not. It looks like an iPod touch type thing. But if you're anything like me you won't need hi-fi just for listening to music on-the-go. I'm thinking of dedicated players that cost ~£500 and are marketed exclusively to audiophiles.

>>64758108
Well the thing about Android is that you can get a fairly cheap and slim DAC for not very much if it really sounds that bad, or just get a phone that doesn't sound like shit. But the best Creative and SanDisk players are not in production any more so getting one now you'd be paying may more than is reasonable.

>>64757984
I don't see the problem with that, it could be an important call. But you can always turn notifications off while listening. Even iPhones have do not disturb mode, and on android you can get players that customize how you deal with notifications while listening.

>>64758338
Rockbox it. Or just keep it until you're not lazy any more. The price will probably keep rising in the meantime.

I find changing songs on smartphones to be tedious, a sansa clip is small enough to use with 2 fingers while a smartphone requires at least 1 hand
>>
In all seriousness though, anyone have thoughts on the Gen 2 FiiO X5? Kinda want it.
>>
>>64759080
I concede that is a good point. Touch screens are not ideal for music players, which is probably why I still use my iPod classic. If it ever broke I'd just use my phone, though.
>>
>>64758918
Does your classic still wok with the current version of itunes, because if it does, I'll buy one.
