I second that. I'm a commercial painter and more then once I've had my sansa mp3 player fall into a paint bucket. Fish it out, clean it up and the damn things just kept on working. Instant brand loyalty after that. Shame they stopped making them.

Looks like Best Buy and other retailers still sell a line of Sandisk “Clips” ??

From the Rockbox devices page:

> Sansa Clip Sport / Clip Jam / Clip Sport Go / Clip Sport Plus

> These are based on an Actions Semiconductor ATJ2127 chips, with under 100KB of available memory and all audio decoding happening inside dedicated hardware. A rockbox port to these (and other ATJ2127) targets will not happen, as it would require an immence undertaking and due to resource limitations, the end result would lack most of the features that rockbox users have come to expect.

Sadly, not the same. Rockbox makes a real functional and usability difference.

Cool. It's been so long since they disappeared in my neck of the woods that I have stopped looking. I'll check this out. Thanks.
