How did the Clip Zip break? Perhaps you could get it fixed under warranty? There are no other brands comparable to the Sandisk players in quality and price. I don't know of any other small high quality players with a card slot, clip, and display. You could spend $140 on an ipod Nano, and have just 16GB and no card slot. You could buy an ipod Shuffle or Archos Clipper and have a small memory, no card slot, and no display. you could get a Philips Raga for $25 at Walmart(does it have a built in clip?) It is just 4GB and has no card slot. At least it has a display. I say get a 2GB Sandisk Clip+ for $30 and a 16GB or 32GB microSDHC card to put in it(if you don't already have one).

The small old analog Sony radios such as the SRF-S83 and SRF-S84 may still be available, but are around $40 or more. They sound great and get around 40 hours of battery life on one AAA battery. The best value in a slightly larger radio Walkman though is the $15 Sony SRF-59. It plays 100 hours(140 for AM) on a single AA battery. You could use an nimh rechargeable if you want. It sounds quite good(trash the included headphone though). The portable digital tuner radios still don't seem to sound as good as the best analog ones. They also cost much more, and get worse battery life.
