Agree with Kevin – a simple clock with alarm.

Rockbox is now available for the Clip+ and it has most of these features. It’s not too difficult to install.

1) Please support CUE format of playlists in addition to M3U. This also means please read correctly long and super-long WAV and FLAC files.2) Please check for bugs with OGG container support (or Vorbis decoder, whatever is the culprit), I’ve had issues with some OGG Vorbis files not playing the sound correctly.3) I wonder if it is possible to add the support for APE files (Monkey’s audio), including long files with CUE playlists.4) Sleep function is an awesome battery saver, but needs an easier access (maybe with a single “click” of the power button?)On a side note, screw AAC format, and I don’t care how many iPod users are switching to Sansa (probably not too many anyway). iTunes = adware, IMO.

Thanks for telling me about the rewinding issue (not starting at the end of the previous track), i almost paid $60 for a huge headache. I bought the clip for that exact feature, and i would have bought a clip+ if it wasn’t for that, i’ve been wanting folder browsing for a long time, but without proper rewind it’s just not worth it.

Another request: ff and rew WITH SOUND (at least, have it as an option)–otherwise, it is a true hit or miss when backing up to study a phrase of music, or to relisten to the last line or 2 of an audiobook; also, good for learning languages.

I prefer searching by artist then by album name, but I also want to listen to complete albums. The way it’s now the clip+ splits albums if there’s for example a song sung by another artist. It would be nice if there was an option to enable sort by album artist instead of “song artist”.

I agree with psxgamer about the loading beinig a hassle. I have Clip+ 8GB player as well but a 16GB chip. Once I got it loaded going through that hassle I find out that playlists I created in WMP and/or Media Monkey will only read off of where they are loaded. You can’t have a playlist with songs on the internal and songs on the external chip. You can do this with the Go playlist so why not from playlists created on the computer. Also would like to be able to save and rename the Go playlist like I had on my old Zen.ACC? Really? Won’t WinAmp convert ACC to MP3?Agree the EQ needs revamp not only increasing number of bands but also in how it works. It does boost a frequency but rather lowers all the other frequencies.All that said the playlist issue I mentioned really needs to be addressed.

I just buyed a Sansa Clip+ with 8 gigs of memory. Today I received a 8 gig memory card to my Clip+.I was just wondering, isn’t there any way to make Windows 7 and Windows Media Player or Winamp to see the internal memory and the memory card as a one memory slot? I mean, it’s pretty damn stupid that I can’t just synchronize all my music to my player with it’s ~16 gigabytes of memory. Instead I have to first fulfill the internal memory and then start synchronizing the memory card memory.Is there no workaround this little annoyance?

i have the original clip 4GB and won the new clip+ 2GB. even though i use itunes to manage and rip my cds, i always make sure to have it in the mp3 format. i would like to see the ability to sync in itunes not necessarily support aac but the sync ability. i use a mac and there is no way to update the firmware directly; it only sees the player as a mounted mass storage device. not every mac user wants the be bounded to apple.
