 Seriously flawed July 29, 2008

I'm glad to hear others are having good luck with this, but I get a very bad feeling in many ways, and even with a $60 rebate off the $80 price I don't think it's worth it. There are so many things wrong, I don't know where to start.
My unit has the most recent firmware version (3.02.05A). My system is an XP SP3 system. It might work better with Windows Media Player versions later than 9, I don't know. (The manual says you have to use "the latest version" but doesn't say what that is supposed to be.)
- there is no USB option on the settings menu, in spite of what the manual says.
- certain settings are not saved. for instance, if you set the backlight timeout to 60 seconds, you have to re-set it each time you turn the system on
- the unit is not detected by either of two XP SP3 systems in default mode. You have to (get this): set the hold button, then hold down rewind while you attach the USB cable. It's then detected as a USB Storage device.
- On one system I was able to get it to show up in Windows Media Player, as a presumably MTP device but I couldn't copy any files to it.
- folders are not supported in MSC mode. I presume the organization is done by tags within each song.
Not for me. I'm going to look for a Creative, Samsung or other unit.

I am very pleased with this product. It was refurbished, and arrived in great condition and works well.

When I received it, I could not turn it on, so I checked the user menu and fialed to find out how to trouble-shoot. After spent a couple of hours, I decided to quit.

The Sandisk Sansa is by far the worst MP3 Player I have owned. Sure, it worked great for 2 weeks and it had some features that many MP3 players don't have like FM radio and voice recording. I thought I got a hell of a deal buying this for 42 dollars but boy was I wrong. I started having issues with the battery about 15 days after I had it, the battery was running out in about 1.5 hours which was not what I expected (having trusted Sandisk's products for many years now). I didn't really mind this because when I listened to music it wasn't for long periods of time, however a few days later the sound output was not working, and I switched out like 4 pair of headphones but I realized the MP3 Player had the problem. I called customer service, which was a bit hard to communicate with but they got the job done nontheless. About a week after recieving my second Sansa it started having software issues, deleting my songs, and shutting off unexpectedly. It eventually got to the point (in about a week) where you would turn it on and it would turn off about a minute into a song. I probably could've filed for another one but I decided not to since it wasn't worth it. I was very dissapointed with Sandisk with this product and will surely stick to my ipod, which I've had for a year and is still going great. Just keep that in mind when buying this MP3 player.

I did not receive a manual with this product. I had to go online and download one in order to operate this product. Once I did that I was OK. I bought this product to download audio books from our library and it is working for that.
