My ~7 year old Sansa Clip+ is still going. Soon after buying it, I was fed up with it scanning everything when I turned it on. When I loaded Rockbox on it, and it was able to reliably go from off to playing music in 2 seconds, I knew it was a keeper! (That's a killer app right there!) I use it just about every day when commuting. I bought another one for my dad about 3 years ago, but he doesn't use it, so I intend to ask for it after mine dies. (Who knows how long that will be. These things are built like old Nokia phones.)
