Are there alternatives to the Clip+ with longer hours of listening and not exceeding $150?
Also about the same size as the Clip+?

Hi guys, I'm using stock OF on a normal EQ. Would like to seek some advice on the most favorable settings as stated below.
In setting, Volume: Normal or High ? Replay Gain Mode set to Song: Pre Gain @ what dB?
Also, please kindly enlighten me what these settings does and it's impact on SQ.
Sorry for the noob question and thanks all in advance
Thanks for the link. If anything, this should be a great replacement for my lost Clip+ (RIP).
Do they auto-pause the music if I take out my earphones? I find it useful that my phone has that (didn't noticed it before LOL).
Hi miceblue, thanks for reply. Appreciate that. I just left the replay gain on Song @ 4.5dB which was preset on the zip when I enable the replay gain mode.
Another problem I encounter is that the player will hang when skipping to the next track. This happens twice yesterday and does not response when I click the play button but still can navigate to the other menu. I have to shut down and power up again to get to play again. What could be causing this problem? Anyone can help on this? Thanks in advance.
Hm, that's interesting.
1. What music file format(s) are you using? I'm using CD-ripped FLAC and 320kbps CBR MP3 files and they work just fine on my Clip Zip.
2. Are those particular tracks associated with any album art? If so, when using a separate file for album art, make sure it's under 100 kB in size.
Actually while playing FLAC files with long metadata tags (album, artist, etc.) and album art, the stock Clip Zip OS does seem to hang a second or two for me.
Hi miceblue, I'm using 320kbps CBR MP3 files and did not take notice of those tracks when it occurs. Will monitor for the time being and will made note of it when it does happens again.
All my ALAC/AAC/MP3 files are all gone along with my dead laptop hard drive about 2 weeks back and there was no backup done to any external source and these files I have right now are from my daughter's desktop. I'll will have start from zero to fill them up once my laptop's hard drive is replaced (under warranty).
Anyway, which ripper app would you recommend as I intend to re-rip to FLAC then convert them to ALAC, AAC or MP3. Many thanks
Fair enough, considering that the Clip Zip have tactile controls that's easily reachable, compared to a touchscreen smartphone. Oh and considering I'm planning to buy them from ebay, what's the average price for an 8GB one? Don't want to get ripped off now do I?
An 8 GB model usually runs at around $50-$60 USD I believe.

What are the advantages of the Clip Zip compared to the Clip+ ?
