Top 5 MP3 Players of 2009

Surprisingly, SanDisk Sansa Clip+ is number one player in 2009

thats not that suprising. It seems to me that it is the only player that completely pleases its owners. It does what it is intended to do.

 

[THE_Anonymous]

I agree with all of the players on the list - but perhaps not the order in which they're listed.

At least Clip proved what the DAP should be like，it is not the WIFI, video, touch screen, and big memory. The DAP should be focus on music replaying.

Clip also proved that the best value of the money on a DAP. that what you pay is for the sweet sound than not other seldom used social functions.

Forget the social functions, I need an interface that doesn't suck and music management system that isn't Windows Explorer (or WMP).

wow... sansa clip again !!!

 

[gameboy115]

is Clip+ SQ really that superior ?

 

[Scott_Tarlow]

I think its a combo of a bunch of things.

guessing it has a lot to do with price, size, and expandability.

If we are talking about SQ alone, I will be shocked Clip+ can suppress Sony X/ S9, its price is almost 6 times less than these two, even that is a little bit inferior, I will see clip + is next purchase

I have new, Clip+ and Cowan D2+. had a 1st gen touch. As far as SQ I would put Clip+ at the bottom of these three. It's very portable though.

It is hard not to like a player which is so cheap and does the simple things well. Long startup time aside I cannot fault it, and I have learned to switch it on whilst I pack and prepare to go out

 

[prone2phone]

in my opinion, clip is ranked so high because it has naturalness in it's sound, other players may technically sound better but they are too artificial

 

[The Actual]

does the Clip have an active playlist feature?

meaning, can I be playing a song then browse other songs and add to "now playing" or "add to queue?"
this is my favorite feature of the Zen V+ and main reason I wouldn't get an ipod.

thanks

Seems the Cowon S9 got gapless playback for both lossy (MP3, OGG) and lossless in a firmware update a few months ago. Very nice. Does it actually do proper gapless playback for LAME MP3?

Seems the Clip+ is trying to do gapless but not quite succeeding fully, at least from accounts in the ABI forum.

And the Zune HD supports gapless.

Much progress in the last few months on the gapless playback front. Makes me happy.
