Sansa e280 MP3 Player a Winner 
2008-05-11
Ordered my Sansa e280 MP3 player after reading reviews on many other mp3 players and was impressed with the features included (ability to play videos, FM tuner, voice recorder). Was a little disappointed that it didn't include the software CD as stated on the box, but was able to download it from the SanDisk site without problems. I have used it now for about 3 weeks and thoroughly love it! I didn't care for the earbuds that came with it, but that is a personal preference, so I replaced them with a set of over the ear kind and also added a battery/ac powered speaker set so I could listen at home and work without using the ear pieces. The sound is great, the videos look very sharp and crisp on the OCD screen. I have been very satisfied with the Sansa e280. It beats more expensive units hands down.
Very Pleased, Especially for the Price 2008-05-11
I shopped around and found this one here on Amazon for what turned out to be a great price. No complaints whatsoever, I really like the slot for micro sd card to add another 2GB of memory.
A Good MP3 Player But Needs a New OS for Podcasts 2008-05-11
The ideal MP3 player has not yet been created, and while the Sansa e2xx series is very good for many of the things, the software is poor for podcasts. Also, it should be possible to put the sofware into a reduced eyesight mode (for someone with less than perfect vision; i.e., anyone over 50). Reduced eyesight mode would eliminate all the fancy screen graphics and provide the largest text possible so that the screen can be read without glasses by the average 50 year-old or in less than ideal lighting conditions. (The screen of the Sansa is washed out in bright sunlight.) The size of the screen is large enough to provide terrific readability -- if the software supported it. (I really enjoy my Canon D40 digital SLR because it provides an option to display shooting parameters in large type on the big rear LCD.) In addition, there should be a mode that alters the display to show as much metadata as possible, including the full title of the file. This would allow the user to have as much information as possible about an individual file, without actually listening to it. It is very difficult to browse through podcast files on the Sansa.
In fact, the Sansa e2xx series is not good for podcasts. The reason is that the tagging scheme for podcasts is not uniform so a useful "directory" of podcasts can't be generated by the software. Using the factory software, it is difficult to navigate among many podcasts and podcasts are organized haphazardly. Sansa should provide an alternative operating system that allows Windows-style navigation, with automatic display of full metadata. Rockbox (an open source operating system that works with Sansa e2xx; www.rockbox.org) is a pretty good alternative solution. However, it is still in beta and it is buggy. Sansa should provide a fully operational operating system that is fully functional for podcast (and also audiobook) users.
Finally, there really should be a taskshifter built-in to the software. For example, if you are listening to a podcast and decide you'd like a musical interlude, there should be a way of easily jumping to the music and then hop back to the podcast in exactly the same spot you left off. This is a no-brainer, but there isn't an easy way to do it with the factory software. It is possible with RockBox using bookmarks, but rather unwieldy.
Great product, but not flawless 2008-05-10
I like everything about this product, and am 95% fully satisfied with it (especially for the sub-$100 price). My only complaint is that the shuffle function has not worked perfectly in SOME of my longer playlists (70+ songs). The shuffle will repeat songs before others have played, and some songs won't get played at all. But in some long playlists, it does shuffle as one would expect. So, it is not perfect, but for the price, it is an excellent choice, and I am glad I made it! You will be, too. I bought the carrying case (very nice, especially for me who tends to drop electronics with alarming frequency) and Koss sport earphones so now I can listen to my player while working out, jumping rope, riding my bike, etc.
love it! 2008-05-10

A great little device 2008-05-09
SanDisk Sansa e280 8 GB MP3 Player (Black)
This little music player cost me half the price of a Zune with that amount of storage space. I find it easy to navigate. It has a pretty good battery life and so far I am most pleased with this.
I found all the features easy to learn and easy to use. It's nice and portable to hold 8 gbs of space. In a nutshell, I love it!
Great player. 2008-05-09
I have several E240's, E260's and E280's for various members of my family. Great product. Easy to use and works great with Rhapsody music service.
Sucks!
