8GB Sandisk Clip Jam DAP for $30

It’s unofficial DAP day today, but now we go to the budget end of the spectrum, the colorful (available in five different colors) 8GB Sandisk Clip Jam is on sale, in new condition, for $30 each, with a limit of up to three devices per color per customer at Amazon by Amazon actual. It has 8GB on-board storage plus a microSD slot. It plays DRM-free music formats, but also Audible DRM’ed (booo!) audiobooks.

It averages 3.6 out of 5 based on 1660+ customer reviews, and has over 550 questions answered by other shoppers over there. I haven’t used this one, so I can’t opine. My most “recent” Sandisk Clip is the good old “Clip Plus”. Speaking of which, of the three I had through the years, all three had their clip on the back break cleanly (even though I never used the clip – perhaps it atrophied), making them even lighter and thinner DAPs 🙂
