This mp3 player is best i ever had.use it for 7 years and only thing is logos on buttons is erased, but other is in good condition. battery holds very long, maybe some will not like that you can’t play very loud your music, but it is healthy er for ears. Very satisfied with it!
@nilesduthes7922 for 50$ you will not find anything better than that I am pretty sure, about SD card not sure if it will work with 128gb, need to check specs..I used 8gb SD.
I bought one of these recently. My only complaint with it is that the fast forward and rewind are very slow (maybe 1 minute or rewind every 5 to 10 seconds) and don't speed up the longer you hold the buttons. Not a big deal if you only use it for songs. However, if you listen to audio books this could be a major issue if the files are large. If you loose your place you could end up holding the rewind button for several minutes.
Out of the Jam, Sport, and Plus, I've actually found that in the largest of upsets, the Jam is the best, I've found that the Jam can take SD cards even larger than 32GB, so more storage than the others, and as for no Bluetooth, just get a 3.5mm to Bluetooth adapter, and you're all set.
I simply opened the SanDisk folder from my computer and my music Folder in my C: Drive and dragged whatever songs i wanted from my C: Drive to the SanDisk...and it worked fine.
My guy! Thanks for posting this review video, it covered all my questions and have already purchased one for myself. Seeing as how you can't really own music anymore without having to pay for some sort of subscription
I know this is two years late, but my newest mp3 player started glitching out after a few months. Anyways, I'm considering getting a Clip Jam/Clip Sport and this review is EXTREMELY helpful. Thank you so much.
Thank you for posting this - much appreciated. I have one of these and I really like that you have the EQ and that you can set the gain. All good stuff.
@@EvanMMD3939 The jam doesn't shuts off when charging some times. You come back a day later and it's playing and charging. Other times you plug it in, to charge, then shut it off and it comes right back on. Sometimes if you come later and shut it off it stays off. Any solutions?
Very good video thanks! Im gonna go with the jam because I am trying to detox from tech and cure my adrenal fatigue and listen to the power of now ebook, and the jam is better for me because its a colorless screen = less stimulation on my brain and the smaller screen = less light!
QUESTION: How fast is the song menu scrolling on this player? I have 1000-ish songs and I don't want to spend 5 years scrolling just to listen to a song in the middle. I know for sure the Clip Sport takes 17 sec to scroll thru that many songs What about the Clip Jam?
I bought two of the original clips a few years ago...they are one of the best things I EVER bougjht! ... the battery life is amazing... I use a brick to charge it, easy to download my music .... better than shuffle, cause one can see a screen to choose a song.. thanks for the download..
need to replace my aging SanDisk m240. A tank what 15 years old? Pretty decent replacement , but why not just use phone with USB battery as a back up? for $20 I'ld love it, so what is the upside? At $40 meh.
Getting very difficult to load music to your computer then transfer it to another device. Amazon/apple/spotify have monthly fee, if you quit you lose everything. They cannot be transferred to your player.
I hope so, I LOVED my clip zip, until I ran it over the other day because the clip didn't stay on my pocket... I must say, it held it's shape perfectly. I am looking to replace it with this clip jam. I use it the same as this guy, to play music at work while not wasting my phone battery.

Questions: I have a MacBook with playlists assembled in Apple Music. Each song file is an MP3. Will the Clip Jam accept these playlists from my MacBook?
Thanks for posting! My dad is looking to replace his square iPod nano with something new as it's glitching out and he needs something with good FM radio and audiobook support. Would you recommend the Clip Jam given this? I'm telling him to move all of his audiobooks to his iPhone and use internet radio like TuneIn but he's really looking for an audio player solution.
Vedant B I bought my clip jam specifically for audio books. I have had to separate some of the files into separate folders in order to keep them sequential. Other then that it works great. It also transfers files much faster than my iPod. Thanks for the question!
I have a raspberry pi2... that along with my tv for the display when i am changing something, are hooked up to speakers near by bed... I have to say I did make a mistake with the id3 tags which come in handy with audio books, where they were not coming out like i'd hoped ... basically they were playing out of order even though all the tags were right. I was trying to set the album as the same thing throughout the cds (audio books via CDs) so its not like "BOOK TITLE - CD 1" "Book Title - CD2" but rather just "Book title" with every CD's worth of the book in order ... but ... so far I have had a little bit of a hiccup getting that just right lol .. when the audio book REALLY stopped making any sort of sense ... I knew (tv was off at that point) something goofed up.
Me: Newbie,Bought Sennheiser Momentum 2 True Wireless earphones it has Blue Tooth 5.1 Since MP3 players with 5.1 BT are rare & $$$. Was told that I can use MP3 with Blue Tooth 4.2 & Sennheiser 5.1 BT with the SAME audio quality. Will use MP3 ,ONLY will listen to uploaded UA-cam songs SHOULD I still try to find MP3 player with 5.1?? Thank YOU..
My clip jam has an issue where when it is moved a certain way it restarts and shows the refreshing the media thing. Do you know what may be causing the issue?
Hello. I have this player. How can I load it with a wall charger? Only charge the battery connected to the PC. You know of a charger that is compatible? regards
Good Question. The EQ options are as follows: Normal Rock Pop Jazz Classical Funk Hip Hop Dance Full Bass Full Treble and Custom Custom gives you 5 bands
do you find the custom settings to be good? .. I have/had 3 mp3 players .. the 3rd I just got this week ... .a Clip+ that died after 5 years of heavy use + with Rockbox I LOVED the sound ... I love my sound quality and music but I never was one of those "I need a $300 set of the best headphones ...etc" types.... The Sony 460 (I forgot the exact model number .. i bought it in the same order as the Clip+) has a 5 band eq that ... sounds flat to me even when customized .... while there are many reasons i am going to keep Rockbox on my NEW (to me ... used model) Sansa Fuze+ .... the sound quality set to basically the same "flat" settings as the Sony ... well I will admit it ... even WITHOUT Rockbox on it ... the sound blew me away ... rich and deep (same exact music on the same microsd card and same headphones as I used for years with the Clip+) .... if they have improved the eq (I was afraid of getting one of these, not being able to use rockbox, that it'd have the same flat sound as the Sony) ... then not only would i possibly pick one of these up ... but i feel alot less bad, about the Clip+ (boy did i love that one) being discontinued for a few years now.
Does anyone know how to do a hard reset? I'm not talking about the "hold the power button down for 20 seconds" reset. I've already tried that. I have scanned the manual, and searched the internet, but cannot find the answer.
The Sandisk documentation refers to a hard reset as a "restore" or "reset factory settings." That may be why it was tough to find. Go to the main settings menu, select "System Settings," and you'll find it there.
Thank you so much for posting this video! I'm not able to drag the downloaded audio to Itunes. Is there any other way to add music from my Mac laptop to this MP3?
Have you seen how some of the higher models have microsd cards in them? I know the regular Sport Clip does not. It has an onboard soldered chip for storage. The Sport Clip Go and Plus does have microsd cards for the internal storage. I wonder what the Jam has inside it. Would you be interested in opening yours up to see, too? A thin guitar pick or plastic spudger tool makes it pretty easy to open the plastic clips on the case.
@@markseymour8365 you're replying to a comment I made a year ago. I've literally opened up them up and there was a microsd card inside. The internal storage was literally a microsd card inside the case ... Not a soldered chip
I am pretty sure you can't ... or at least it's not listed on the Rockbox site ... the Clip/Clip+ series is listed ... and the Clip ZIp is listed but (it would be discussed and asked about in the Rockbox forums) the chip or something is different and they (so far) are unable to port Rockbox for newer Sansa models, if i understand.
Good question, sorry it took me so long to reply, but I didn't have the device for a while. So there are 3 speed options: Normal, Fast, or Slow. IDK if fast is 1 1/2x or 2x or how slow is slow, but there you go
@@vincefox23 for me, I needed a better quality usb. The usb I was using to sync to the MP3 charger it, but wouldn’t transfer data. Maybe try a nice quality USB that transfers data well? 🤷🏾♂️
Is there a maximum size limit for the SD card? Clean your fingernails next time you do a close up video with your hands. You wouldn't go on a blind date with broccoli in your teeth, would you? Oh, you would? Never mind then.
you use apple system very problematic and unecessarily troublesome. itunes is a stupid idea and i truly dislike apple products. i believe in windows, gnu\linux et cetera you wouldnt have those iproblems

This sure looks complicated. I miss the old days, you sent music to the mp3 and that was it.
you can still buy those

I wonder if you could hack/program it to display pictures and media, or play games.
Can you set this so the music random plays?
I actually have one of the clip jam mp3 player's and is pretty good
Is it possible to move songs/albums from Amazon music to this device please?
Is there really no way of doing this without using Itunes??
WaffleToaster I’m pretty sure there is, but I haven’t had a PC since about 2007, so I wouldn’t be any help with that.
itunes????Seriously dude who uses itunes to get mp3 files?..The Sansa clip hooks directly into a PC and you can transfer files just like a usb drive
From what he showed I'm sure it does the same thing like a USB just like my old iPod used to do just place it in the right folder.
Um... sound quality? Volume?
Does it have shuffle feature?
How do I turn off while charging
Does it play FLAC audio?
Yes
i just bought it from my store its still charging im excited

Does this have bookmarks for audio books?
They resume automatically where you've stopped
how do i jailbreak this device to add more songs onto a sd card? If the player has certain settings
You're going to be limited to the size of the SD, so jailbreaking it won't help you with music storage.
