My beloved Sammy Z5 hates me!

SANSA CLIP !!!!
I play the Clip and the Z5 thru car speakers in exactly the same manner, off the headphone port.

Difference between the two? Well I like the Clip better. It turns on much quicker than the Z5 when it hasn't been used for a day or two. I think the battery on the Clip lasts longer but haven't done any serious studies. I think the Clip sounds better but not by much; however, I am not a serious student of SQ (ie I got crappy ears). Both do playlists. The Clip attaches easily to my shirt, the Z5 doesn't. The 2GB Clip comes in red or blue.
