I have been using this model for several years and I am just fond of
it. It has a great hardware quality (at least, its playback part), and
by installing the RockBox on it you obtain a very powerful software
which you can even customize by yourself.
It is also GNU/Linux-friendly, since the latest versions of RockBox
feature the complete USB exchange support, and you can copy the
files just like to a regular USB flash drive.
I recommend this player to everybody, especially to the people who
appreciate free software.
My only doubt is whether these players are still available on the
market or not. Sansa Clip+ is a rather old model.
Regards,
Vladimir
