 Good So Far July 16, 2007
1 out of 2 found this review helpful
So far I enjoy the base for charging but I haven't found out what is compatible with the base station that will allow music to be played over speakers. If anyone knows will any pair of speakers do or do they have to be Sansa? Thanks for any help. Good product does as advertised!
 A Sansa E240 and SanDisk SDAMX-BST Base Station Review June 13, 2007
13 out of 13 found this review helpful
Call me "unhip" if so desired, but "apple" means one of two things to me: edible fruit and/or the latter-date record label of a pioneering English rock band.
My little ol' Sansa E240's four gigs of storage (total storage can be as much as six with a two-gig Micro SD card) holds, count 'em, 16-hours worth of 160Kbps or higher (mostly 192Kbps) bit-rate tunes. Meaning: mostly used when I fly or work in the yard, since I first loaded it I've twice flown cross country (round trip) and "pulled weeds" without hearing the same tune twice (because it picks right up where previously stopped). Granted, I didn't use it every single second while in the air, but I have used it substantially each time.
Speaking of longevity: the E240's hardy battery power lasted the first Florida-to-California round trip and still held half of its charge upon return.
The E240 is intuitive (only cracked the instructions for initial startup info) and I can quickly, like almost "right now," get to key playback aspects such as volume control (love that 'ring wheel!'), forward, back, pause, and more. The color display's so good it's hard to believe.
As for the Base Station: In a stroke of genius, Sansa-maker SanDisk actually put all the wire connections ON THE UNIT'S BACKSIDE! In a day and age where protruding FRONT wires seem the rage, these guys got 'em out of the way.
Wired connections - for which cabling in each case is provided with the SDAMX-BST base station - are: power; USB 2.x; and, handy-dandy stereo RCA audio cabling for direct connect to stereo system. Though I run all of my home entertainment through a dedicated desktop (and thus will otherwise use the USB cable), the RCA cabling is a nice touch for those having a system with RCA inputs and not already using a computer to control music playback.
The Sansa E240 - with a full, non-factory silicone case - fits solidly onto the base station's charging cradle. To be honest, when first received I was a little bummed that the Sansa E240 unit itself didn't use a female USB 2.x mini-port, which is more and more commonly seen today. However, I can now easily see how one would likely have to often strip the unit from something like a silicone case - which increases the E240's exterior dimensions and might not otherwise fit a narrower, unit-sized cradle - if it didn't have the somewhat larger, but more stable, Sansa-specific female/male fitting.
The unit's remote - for which a (non-charging) cradle is likewise provided on the base station - works at least 35-feet away, the distance I now sit from the base station as this is being written.
Oh, already up-and-running, I've yet to open the base station's manual, even for initial startup information. It was that simple to set up.
Acquired through an Amazon-associated merchant (PC Micro Store), I also got a complete Sansa E2xx kit, that has a silicone cover, USB 2.x Sansa-specific cable, runner's arm band and car power (cigarette lighter) port connector for the USB-to-Sansa cable. Worth every cent.
In short: The above works for me and pretty darn good at that - all for hardly more than an iPod Nano, alone.
Sansa Base Station June 7, 2007

If you use you Sansa a lot like I do you can't always hook it up to your PC to charge it. The base Stations makes it a little easier to charge the unit and to sync it up to you PC and transfer files. Its a convenience thing and it works great.
Love it!! May 14, 2007

I have had the base station for about 2 months and I use it everyday. I have no problems, it was easy to setup and easy to dock the mp3 player. Totally happy with this purchase!
Perfect - works exactly as advertised. April 21, 2007

It could not be simpler. Plug it into the outlet, plug the 1/8th jack into the base and the RCA connectors into your unit, dock the MP3, turn it on and go. Just like that & it re-charges to boot.
There is nothing else to write, because it does just what is advertised. The remote controls everything.
I wish there was more to say but there is not. The unit works, plain & simple.
