Unfortunately, the quality of SanDisk’s MP3 players have declined over the years. I still have one of the older ones (not purple), that is still going strong, while my new ones have sometimes lasted only two or three years.
Too bad, these little players were great for clipping on a pocket and say, for instance, mowing the lawn. They used to keep going and going and going.
@Barney I have 3 Sansa clips from Woot (2 blue and 1 black) and I recently purchased a SanDisk Clip Sport from Target (blue) because I had a gift card. I just ordered the purple one from SanDisk, because purple. I hope it’s not crap.
@heartny I still have an old E250 and just discovered that even I, a complete tech idiot, should be able to replace the battery. Yay! I also own a black Sansa clip from Woot and two later model clips (one is purple!).
I already have two Sansa Fuzes that I bought from Woot, so I didn’t buy this purple one. And I, too, hope your Purple is not crap.
@Barney I have a Sansa m240. I just discovered it takes a AAA battery, but since I didn’t now it was there, it has long since leaked. It actually turned on after it was replaced. I shall add it to my Sansa family.
It’s lovely. However, I have one of those new inventions they call a smart phone. And this new one has killer battery and is light enough to workout with. Wish I could have gotten the smart phone in purple, though.
@narfcake The only reason I thought about trading in my Note 8 for the S9 is because it came in purple. If the Note 9 comes in purple I may reconsider.
@Barney You like purple.
@therealjrn I love purple.
Oops, if you are wanting the pretty purple, SanDisk is having a 10% off sale plus free shipping (@heartny).
Use coupon code Spring10DN. Don’t know when it expires.
@Barney
Great looking mobile site they got there.
Is the sale only on purple? Aww heck, who cares? Who would buy any other color?
/giphy purple or it won’t happen
@stinks The sale is on anything they sell, I think, but I didn’t get past the purple Fuze+
@Barney @stinks Looks like a good deal compared to what NewEgg is selling it for:
https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16855125143
@heartny @stinks $300? That has to be a mistake!
@stinks All of the other colors are sold out.

@Barney @heartny @stinks those are some unhappy reviews.
@Barney @heartny @Seeds @stinks But at least they are consistent!
@Barney Third-party seller. Sometimes I feel like contacting them to ask “Are you kidding me?!”
Then logic prevails and I stop wasting my time doing that when I could be doing more productive things. Like watching cat videos.

Years ago, I bought a Sansa Clip from Woot. Still not sure why.
Of course, less than 2 weeks later, they sold the Clip+for a few dollars more…
@PlacidPenguin I didn’t think the Clip+ was as good as the Clips.
@Barney
It sits in my electronics (and cable) drawer, as I quickly realized I had no real practical use for it.
Even WITH Rockbox on it.
@PlacidPenguin That’s sad.
@Barney @PlacidPenguin I have a Sansa E250. Works great. Replaceable battery.
@rtjhnstn Is this battery replacement something a mere mortal could do, or would one have to graduate to geek level?
@Barney
You want to take it out of its misery?
@Barney Easy-peasy. Four screws and pop the cover.
@rtjhnstn Batteries are still available?

Sansas.
@Barney
Do you have a replacement battery for it?
@PlacidPenguin Nope, not yet. Confession time: I’m still looking for my E250. I know it’s here somewhere.

@Fuzzalini I think I might be allergic to smartphones.
@Fuzzalini @narfcake Since the 5 you can’t easily replace the battery.

@narfcake I considered the Sharpie option. Briefly. Very briefly.
