i have a different model and use it as my main player when commuting etc even though i have my iphone. i have it rockboxed with custom firmware that let's me use a 200gb sdxc card and play pretty much all audio formats including 24 bit flac, file order is based on folder and filename rather than tags. so instead of farting about with itunes which doesn't play flac or transfer it to the phone, it just plays from the memory card on the sandisk. it's got 8gb storage internally so i keep some stuff on there and i have a few cards including two 200gb ones, which means that player has more storage than the biggest ipod classic, plus it's easy to swap cards. it also saves the battery on my phone and doesn't really take up much extra space

it's obviously not for everyone, but if you want a lot of storage it's great, and they don't cost much either

It's almost like different people have different needs. What a crazy concept.

Can`t see the point of this nowadays, most people have phones with better (larger) players on them.

anyway can`t see if anything can beat sound quality of *FLACs on s7 with good headphones and poweramp on board.
heat added anyway, reliable brand and as mentioned above its good for running etc.

Perfect for the gym and running.

If this is the same model I have then it can't be Rockboxed, but I found the standard firmware fine. It's great for clipping to your shorts during those long runs so your phone battery doesn't die while you're logging the route. I barely noticed it was there

Each to their own I guess.
Battery lasts for ever on these, they are light as a feather and great for walking, commuting, running or gym.
Screen size and resolution is better than previous Clips too.
And with a good pair of headphones, they will give a run for their money to any fancy mobile (maybe not an LG V20 or other 32bit DACs if you have golden ears).

Good spot, needed one for my Daughters skating routines. However went for the Yellow 4gb new one.

Just incase you might need an old mp3 player whilst horseback riding?
Heat added just for fun.

Ah ! You'll be one of those with the Beats headphones - looking around as you get on a bus making sure people noticed the "b" -, taking the iPhone 6 or the LG or Samsung phone out and deliberately playing with the screen "selecting" then ? Last thing you want is player hidden away, eh ?
