The player itself is tiny and very cute. It feels solid and well-made. However, they don't tell you it's optimized for use with the Rhapsody music service, which I thought was a little sneaky. The music service is free for 30 days, then it costs $10 a month thereafter, but you can cancel anytime. I haven't looked at the music they offer and probably never will. I didn't want a music service. I wanted an MP3 player. Apparently, there are features for this MP3 player that are only available through the Rhapsody download. I haven't set it up yet so I don't know what that means. The owner's manual is a PDF file on the San Disk site, if you can find it. If you register your player with them, they may share your information with overseas sites that aren't secure. Spiffy. At least they're upfront about it, in a vivid red ink disclaimer, but still...why??? The player has a built-in FM radio and microphone. The display is very easy to read. It is packaged with ear buds and a USB charger.June 10, 2013: UPDATE!Okay, now that I've finished having a panic attack, I can happily report I was wrong about the Sansa Clip+ MP3 player. The Rhapsody Music Service software CD is optional. I used Amazon's Cloud Player download instead. So far, all the device's features are working fine. The ear buds packaged with the Sansa Clip+ are  comfortable. The sound quality is excellent. The display is easy to read, even in bright light. The battery charged in less than three hours. I kept thinking the display looked weird, then I realized I was looking at a stick-on screen protector. It peeled off easily and left no residue behind. The menus are simple and well thought out. All the controls are easy to find, easy to use. The USB 2.0 transfer cable is very short, about 9 inches long, but it wasn't a problem. The Sansa Clip+ plugged in to my laptop and the music transfer was a breeze! If you want a tiny, but well-made and easy to use MP3 player, buy the Sansa Clip+ MP3 player. 

Question: How is the navigation?
