It works great for me 
2008-04-20
I've had it a week and it works great, after a bit of screwing around.
I initially hook it to VISTA on a Toshiba, and the system loaded the
necessary drivers from somewhere. I was merrily SYNCing music when
it stopped accepting transfers. I set the "settings" to MPC, whatever
that is, and hooked it back up and it reloaded the driver, and it has
been cooking along ever since.
I also got an AC adapter. I installed a AAA rechargeable battery, and the c14o and adapter charges the batt while running on AC. Pretty neat!

Excellent gadget for the price! 2008-04-14
I love this mp3 player. I just fire it up and go with it. very compact and easy to carry around all day. I put the lanyard around my neck put in the earphones and listen all day at work. I have never used the voice recorder or picture function so I only gave it 4 stars. I had my songs loaded onto it and working in 5 minutes. Only need basic windows skills to load music on it. Very easy for those of us who hate Itunes and all the nonsense of an Ipod. Sound quality is very acceptable to me. I understand I could plunk down alot more money and get a better product, but for someone who just wants something that is easy to use, low maintenance, and plays all their music I highly recommend this little guy here.
Nice should be easier to get to songs 
2008-03-28
I got this to play music in my car and works fine for that. The battery life is pretty decent. It's easy enough to use, shouldn't need to read "the book". It looks good, the display is very clear, sound is good (playing through my car speakers) and it's also compact.
What I think could be better:
The way you store the songs is limited. It should be more flexible then what is given as choices (album, artists etc.). I pretty much just skip, skip, skip to whatever song I want. You have to go through a few menu choices before you can just play which in driving is annoying. Also, when you go to skip the first time you press a button just "wakes" the unit up. Kind of like moving your mouse on the computer after the screen saver kicks in. So if you want to say, skip a song, you have to press forward then forward again.
All in all I like it and it suits my purposes. I listen to CD's, XM Radio and regular radio so I don't just depend on this for music. If I did I would probably go for a higher end unit. I just refuse to go iPod since they are notorious for taking over your music on your computer. All I want it do is just 'play it Sam' and the Sansa does just that.
A good little MP3 player 
2008-03-28
I needed an MP3 player to hang around my neck as I walked. Both on a treadmill and around town. This little player fit the bill for my needs.It is easy to program and to use. I recommend it for a person that wants a small simple to use MP3 PLAYER
The dreaded STP error 
2008-03-27
It's amazing to me that there could be an MP3 player that allows one to corrupt it by simply uploading slightly more data that it shows. That's what happened. Pathetic. Playng volume is weak, the display is easily cracked, and now my son's player is a useless paperweight. I'll probably try to get it replaced, meanwhile I just bought anoter one. Search for "no space for Db please delete 4.0 Mbs to free up space" and just see how many hits you get. I really do have a hard time recommending ANY Sansa MP3 player when the very basic operation can render one useless; and it's not just this model, just search, and you'll see.
Works with Vista 64 2008-06-07
I've had this player for a couple of years and it has performed well. I like that it takes AAA batteries because it's easy to guarantee you're not going to run out of juice on a trip. The FM tuner is a bit weak, but functional, and the sound is pretty decent. The navigation is reasonable. I like that it has a switch to lock out the buttons so you can just stuff it in your pocket.
Recently, I thought I was in a fix because I put together a new computer for home and put Vista 64 on it. When I plugged the player in, I got the dreaded "no drivers found" issue that is common with this OS. It turns out that you can't have anything playing when you plug it in. I can't recall if this was the case with XP. In any case, it works fine under Vista 64 if you have it paused. FWIW, it works as a usb drive under ubuntu (Hardy). I haven't figured out how to get to the music folder, however - only AUDIBLE, CONFIG, and RECORD show up, while it's Music, Pictures, and RECORD when it's on Vista. I spent all of ten seconds playing with it, so it's probably fixable with a little tweaking.
MY VERY FIRST MP3 PLAYER 2008-06-07
My sister gave me this MP3 player when her boyfriend bought her another one. I love it. I also love the fact that it has an FM radio. It's so cute and tiny. Definitely would reccommend this to first time MP3 users ( like me who still hasn't gotten the hand on downloading songs from the computer).
It's a great little MP3 player!!!
Great simple MP3 player for my 10 year old daughter 2008-05-15
After reading many reviews we bought this as my daughter's first MP3 player. It was also the first MP3 player in our house! She is thrilled with it and there have been no problems so far so I'm happy. We wanted to be sure that it didn't rely on charging it frequently, but rather used batteries because she would often be away from home or any computer while using this and that was one important reason we choose this player over others. The price was also great on this player. So far loading songs onto it and using it have been very easy.

it was a gift and I have not received any complaints. I programmed the songs into the MP3 player, which was very easy (no CD to install) and I was able to also import photos which was nice.
works for me 2008-04-29
When I bought this I was looking for something bigger. I looked at several different brands and the sales person directed me to this one. It has work out wounderful.
It has gone to several shows, Rage Against the Machines, Roots and Tool to name a few, recorded the shows with no issues. Granted you have to make sure to save it but it is a great way to remember a great show.
The only issues I have is the battery I listen to it at work and I am burning through the batteries quickly. I have changed to rechargable but they last a day or a little more. It would be nice to not have to change batteries all the time.
Other than that it has worked great and I have had no issues with it. I will buy from SanDisk again.
