Store up to 2000 songsMemory card slot for pre loaded cards up to 32GBDigital FM tuner with 40 presetsRechargeable battery lasts up to 15 hoursBuilt in clip for easy carrying
I could never figure out how to comfortably run with my phone. I began running with a GPS watch and a small clip on MP3 player and it's a much better solution.
Edit: For anyone interested I use the Sansa clip and it has performed great in lots of running conditions. It looks like mine has been discontinued and they have newer cheaper models now. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B002MAPS6W/ref=cm_sw_r_other_awd_GucOwbJ85YFNY
This player (or the 8gb version) has served me incredibly well. I've owned two of them over the past four years. They have fantastic audio quality and format compatibility. It also has a micro SD card slot, so I'd recommend getting the 4gb version and adding an SD card. The built-in clip is more useful than you might imagine at first too. The default UI/firmware is definetly alright, but for more features check out Rockbox, which is an open source firmware replacment for a wide variety of music players.
It is just a music player though. It specializes in music, and does that well. For something more like an iPod Touch, there are a few Android music players. I can't give an opinion on any of them though. I went straight from the Clip+ to my Nexus 7.
Honestly. I'd strongly consider the Clip+. I considered it to be the best DAP when it came out, and I'd still say that now.
Its the only player I've used for the past ~8 years maybe.
The only downside I can see is that the screen is a bit cramped.
Nowadays its likely you're carrying around a phone that’s oversized and has poor battery life. The Clip is sized and priced correctly, it fills a completely different niche than what I use my phone for. My primarily use case is on public transit and in the car.
Don't disagree that they dominate - but I know plenty of people who use devices like the Sansa Clip (8500 reviews on Amazon, so it's obviously extremely popular) - especially for sports. I've been using it for years. But these days, most of my music collection is on my phone (128GB SD card on my android phone), so it's kind started to replace a few other devices.
Sure. Check this out, it's the one I use. Really reliable, and fantastic quality for the price.
A 16x2 LCD display running Volumio with some added scripts on it, but then it would have to be battery powered...
Seriously, a $30 Sansa Clip would be more convenient, and the battery would last longer.
Bad move for them but it could be beneficial for consumers like myself who don't want to deal with Itunes and other compatibility issues. The Ipod classic has been the go-to music palyer for high capacity storage. Hopefully things like the Fiio x3 and x5 or Sandisk Sansa clip+ see their opening and take advantage.
But you ran comfortably with the 4S? Which is considerably heavier than a 6.
Also, if you really need music during a run, unless you're streaming you should just snag something like a Sansa Clip and a microSD card. Tons of storage space and you won't even notice it's clipped to you when running.
From my experience, I love the Sansa's. Such as the Clip+, the Fuze and the one I have bought several times (Because I keep putting it through the washer somehow) the Fuze+.
The Pros:
The Cons:
Just for the record, I can't say much about the Clip+ or the Fuze being that I haven't used them, I have just heard really nice things about them.
I hope that this helps!
I broke headphone jack on it. Bought another one and also broke it. It was pretty good, yes, but was unstable with 32Gb card, so I had to use it with 16 Gb.
Too bad it's discontinued but there is a still chance to get one https://www.amazon.com/SanDisk-Sansa-Player-Discontinued-Manufacturer/dp/B002MAPS6W/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1496141233&sr=8-2&keywords=sansa+clip%2B
I'd get one but I'm afraid it will just be another broken plug.
Going to look into something else with scrobbling, resorted to using my phone for now.
This is what I use, a tiny, 8gb(with expansion slot) flash-based(so crashes dont matter) mp3 player with a clip. i pair it with an old pair of earbuds that i've cut one of the buds of off, and put the bud in my back foot's ear. this thing is seriously like a box of matches, and the clip is super handy. saves my GS5 battery for when I need it.

I use a SanDisk Sansa on the go, and WinAmp plus good old non-DRM'd MP3s generally everywhere else.
ipod shuffle is nice.
I heard that SanDisk makes good ones.

The Sandisk Sansa Clip+ has good voice recording capabilities and is quite small.
Perfect for these tasks IMHO. It is also possible to install rockbox which might improve the recording capabilities...
SanDisk makes a decent one with 4GB and 8GB capcity. Unlike Apple, it has expandible storage potentially unlimited storage space. Can play a number of different audio formats too.
I'd just get a cheap clip-on MP3 player. The Sandisk Clip is excellent if you want a recommendation: http://www.amazon.com/SanDisk-Sansa-Clip-Player-Black/dp/B002MAPS6W
There really aren't any alternatives as good as the iPod touch or iPod nano these days.
If you want something that's cheap and just plays music decently, there's Sandisk's Sansa models, but Apple (and now smartphones) killed off any of the mid or high-end competitors.
I must have been a bit unclear in my wording. One of the main reasons for my complaints is that I want a calculator that is faster and has a higher resolution. We both already agree, then, that the EX series is newer, faster, and has a higher resolution screen than the ES series. Anything I wrote on that subject is meant only to confirm those facts with hard evidence and to show more-precisely how much faster the EX series is than the ES series, rather than leaving the answer a vague "faster". It turns out the EX is about 5 times faster than the ES.
As a mathematics and computer science graduate who often tutors students ranging from fifth year elementary maths to linear algebra and number theory, I use almost all of the functions on the 115es plus at different points. I enjoy keeping my maths knowledge intact by doing some calculations or solutions on paper or in my head and using my calculator to confirm my results or tell me I'm wrong, which includes something as simple as finding the prime factorization of a somewhat large integer or finding the product of a series. Those are but two of many (literally hundreds, as mentioned in my post) examples of what the fx-115ES Plus can do that the US fx-991EX can't do at all. I can get around some of those by converting the products to sums but that's a huge extra step on my part and also hardly worth doing since those will take a very long time on the calculator. I like to go to the library on weekends and study "How to Solve It: Modern Heuristics", which covers various areas of maths, and getting through all tedious calculations by using my cheap scientific calculator or confirming the soundness of my more symbolic results by doing a few quick inexact calculations. That's why I would LOVE the fx-991EX to do all that my old fx-115ES Plus can do. I also hate worrying about the battery life of my graphing calculators and having to recharge them. I hardly have to worry if I've been doing tens of hours of calculations on my scientific calculator for weeks on end, but often have to get new batteries for my TI-89 or have to recharge any of the newer ones. I'm honestly really tired of always having to worry about recharging my mobile and other devices as well.
I have a similar philosophy for other devices, like my MP3 player, the SanDisk Clip+. I got it when it was cheap, not $100 as it is now due to scarcity. After I switched its operating system to RockBox, which makes it able to play all sorts of audio files and added tons of functionality like a highly-customizable equalizer, I had a very simple device that could do everything I wanted. I don't care about fancy colors and album art or touchscreens on a simple audio player. All that stuff breaks and uses more power anyway. All I care about is that it's powerful enough to do all the real things I want it to do, not pointless fancy graphical things meant only for marketing purposes that are detrimental overall.
i go with the 70buck sansa clip plus 8gb (and it takes up to 16gb micro sd cards).
it's small, light weight and has all the features i need.
i especially like the option to speed up playback when listening to podcasts or audio books.
other features are fm radio, 15h battery life

It looks to me like the Clip Jam is the current model that's closer to the clip+. The biggest thing for me was they had (for years) no current model that had the capability to lock out the buttons. So with my Clip Zip, I kept accidentally hitting buttons on my runs, because the thing would shift in my pocket or I would bump it with my elbow. With the clip+, no problems.
It also had a great little screen that was really easy to read, and enough battery life to make it through a couple marathons on a charge. :) I bought two of them when they got discontinued, but hadn't shot up in price yet.
