Great for the price! 
2008-07-03
I'm in staunch opposition to ipods so this was a great idea when I got it as a gift. I've had mine for about 8 months and there doesn't seem to be a downside. I download from amazon any mp3 I want and upload it to the player. The battery life is good, hasn't died in the middle of a song or anything. The only downside is the onboard memory. Which was easily fixed with a 4 gig micro mem card. I have all the room I need now.
Sansa C240 V1 
2008-06-14
This product has a problem with XP Home SP3 Operating System that is being worked on by Sandisk engineers. The bottom line is that it fails to remain on / stay "connected" or be recognized by XP Home SP3.
Other than that, so far so good but what an inconvenience.
Pretty Good MP3 Player 
2008-06-14
This is an pretty good MP3 player. Before i got this MP3 player i had 2 other sandisk mp3 players that broke but this one is still working and ive had it for a year and a half but yet its not so good.
Pros:
1. The size of the MP3 player itself is pretty nice small easy too cary around with you unlike say one of those huge mp3 players they come out with.
2. Design, this mp3 player has a nice design too it but yet is a littly bulky.
3. sound quaility is pretty good on this and the buttons are easy too control
4. easy too use, this mp3 player is simple too use no directions needed.
cons:
1. its too bulky i think compared too my ipod it doesent stand really at all it so bulky compared too it.
2. sound okay my headphone jack wore out about 6 months after i got it than the end of 2007 i got an ipod and the headphone jack was pretty much busted but i got headphones working for it and its working fine now.
3. sometimes this can freeze up if your skipping the songs too fast or sometimes if you drop it enough the battery may come out.
I got this MP3 player back in January of 2007. Its still working fine today except the headphone jack but i got new headphones for it but all in all it works great but yet now that i got an ipod i dont carry this around with me yet i still use this thing just at home. I also use it for a recorder being that the recorder on here is great.
Plus when i got this mp3 player it was 70 dollars just for this little thing now its only 30 dollars and the 2 GB one is just 50 dollars. Boy was i gipped but of course it was a year and a half ago
4/5 stars
Good for price 2008-05-24
It's cheap (got it at 29.99). There is good quality sound. It is rather nice looking and sleek. Earbuds are decent. Easy transfer system. Good shuffling. "Go" playlist is easy to set. One GB is enough for me.
Yet, it may just be me, but this item is not very durable. I kept it in my pocket to listen to while I work (I work in a cooler at the night, when no one is around), and it got scratched easily (probably my fault).
Additionally the buttons are EXTREMELY sensitive. I barely hit my pocket (like a small tap) while working and it changes to the next song, repeats, shuts off, pauses, or records. When record is engaged, it is very hard to go to another function (often I just turn off the player and then power it back, because no buttons appear to get it out of record mode).
Also, the system is very uncooperative when it is low of power (even when it still has hours left) and the charging is done by USB, not power cable. While charging, you cannot listen to the MP3 player.
I would recommend it to you if you plan to not use it while working. Pretty decent for the price it is. If though few flaws were fixed, this would be perfect.
dependable player 2008-05-20
Bought this for my 74 year old Mom. I put everything from Bobby Darin to Joan Biaz and photos on it. The pics are small, but it's still fun. She hasnt read the instructions but has still managed to fumble through it. That was the point. She somehow manages to make it function! Therefore, I have to give the player two thumbs up! It also has a micro slot if more data is an issue.( I believe those go up to 8gigs now ) It identifies easily( even on vista! ) all this on a refurb for $20.00! It came with full warranty, factory pakaging,ect. Then I got a wall charger, USB, and other acc. for$5.00 (less!) The extra's go on and on for Sansa products, just look! I originally gave this 5 stars, but since this is a refurb, i thought I'd back it off!
Good value 2008-07-22
I was looking for a simple mp3 player for my wife to use while walking. I accidentally ordered two instead of one, but after using one, decided to keep them both so that I could have one. I have used both the radio and music features. The display is small, and the menus take some getting used to, but it is hard to beat for the price.
Great Mp3 Player (for geeks) 2008-07-21
For the price there isn't a lot that can beat the Sansa c240. I bought it because it has a MicroSD slot. (extensible memory is great) The FM Radio, Picture Viewer, and Voice Recorder aren't all that great, but they're fun extras.
Speaking of fun extras, the biggest boon to the c240 is it's ability to run RockBox [www.rockbox.org] as custom firmware. This is a bit geeky for most users, but since the original interface is horrible, it might be worth a try. You'll find that your c240 is much more powerful than you thought it could be.
With RockBox you can watch videos, play games, skin the interface, run simple programs, and still have all the original functions (radio/voice) intact. The biggest limitation is it's screen. At 132x80 you really can't do a lot with it. If you want to show off to your iPod using friends, just show them how your mp3 player can run DOOM.
I adore my c240 running RockBox, but here's why it's still a 3 star. RockBox is an add-on and isn't terribly easy to get started on. The original interface is horrible. The screen is tiny and lo-res. The USB cord is custom and replacing it isn't cheap.
Nonetheless, I love my new Sansa c240. If you're geek who loves to customize your electronics then you will love it. If you aren't then you might want to pass.
Better than Shuffle, less expensive 2008-07-21
This MP3 player is the best!! A screen to navigate your library of songs, a slide show feature for your photos, FM radio and download capabilities, voice recorder for lists and messages. Love it so much I bought 3 (for other family members)

Seriously, should you purchase the SanDisk Sansa c240 1GB mp3 player, you may be very disappointed. My player performed properly for only a few months before imploding. Contacting SanDisk for assistance proved futile. You're wasting your money.
SanDisk Sansa C240 2008-07-15
I love this product I have purchased 4 one as a 2 gb and the other three as 1 gb. I use the 2gb to record class lectures and then review them later but also to listen to music. It is very easy to use and love that it is rechargable so I don't have to be buying batteries for it all the time. If you are into listening to music and just want something to use everywhere I suggest this product.
