Stop & Shop

[ase]

It is completely unsurprising that, having lost my dinky 2 GB Sansa Clip (presumably to the ravages of reaching for a tissue and dropping the mp3 player 1.) at a bus stop 2.) in front of a bustling residential community 3.) while edging away from a teenager outgassing marijuana fumes) I bought an otherwise identical four gig replacement.

That is how I spent my convention mad money, and a few dollars besides. Totally worth it.

My Sansa Clip is tiny too! I could almost put it on an optical microscope stage - and this is the 4 gb version! It's probably a bit larger than your shuffle, but it's also got a little bitty LCD screen that lets you read the music info. (Or, say, scroll through your playlists if you can't remember what the heck you put in the flash memory.) The size is really nice when you're working - stick it in your pocket and forget about it. It's a problem when anything happens to it, though.

Yeah, the shuffle is annoying that way -- no screen, no way of knowing what you're listening to. Doesn't seem to order properly -- what's in the play list on the computer isn't how it actually plays them. blech. And I try to use it for audiobooks and podcasts. I just try not to worry about order. And relabel my audiobook tracks (01 01, 01 02, etc.) which seems to work. Blech.

If it hadn't been a present from my brother, who knows what I'd have gotten. Probably nothing. ;-)
