I have a computer with XP and I must force it to MSC mode. It turns on and everything but the computer won't detect if it is set to auto. Switch it to MSC and bam! My other computer with Vista, auto detect (usb mode) works just fine.

I forgot to mention in my previous post about battery life. If you are using the external memory (MicroSD) the device will consume more battery than when it uses the internal memory. This is the case for all MP3 players. What the manufacturer states in its specifications is for continuous, low bit-rate files using internal memory. If you are just using the internal memory it should be close to the 15 specified.

Another great thing is that you can "rockbox" the Clip+. It is a free open source firmware. You can check it out here.
