Default MP3 Players

Has anyone used this SanDisk Sansa Clip Zip MP3 player with their touring sound system? I am looking for an inexpensive unit to use and I am looking for input about hooking it up to the scoot.

NO, I have not used the search feature and I have no intention to.

the Apple ipod is the standard for mp3 players.

they come in many sizes and capabilities and tend to be easier to operate and sync than other brands.

from the tiny nano or I use an ipod touch which i can also use for email, browsing and mapping

and alot of phones play mp3's- maybe yours does...1 less thing to carry.

I have one and GF has an ipod. Sunlight is a bitch, but since it sits in the saddle bag its not so bad. Got it in February and one day I noticed the volume was stuck on high. Returned it to Sandisk and it took about a month to get a new one.

With the apple, you need their software to add and remove music. The sandisk just looks like another drive and is easier that way.

Mine will hold a charge for quite a while, but it won't play while charging or plugged into the PC. Not sure what the ipod does. I got the 4gb with a $10 off coupon at Radio Shack and added an 8gb card. Had I got their extended warranty, they would have swapped it right there.

JMO...Anything's better then giving Apple your money...If they made an Apple car, you'd have to put Apple air in the Apple tires. Apple gas..Apple oil...
If you're an Apple fan...fine...More power to ya...I find having opptions more attractive.

Again...JMO
