 Nice alternative to iPod. Works well. Easy to use. November 3, 2008
After using iPod and being frustrated with how it interfaces through iTunes, doesn't work sometimes, and costs too much -- I tried this one out and was immediately pleased with the ease and interface. No problems and music sounds great. Fit and finish is on par with the larger iPods maybe even better.
Don't settle for iPod when there are better alternatives!!
 Works Great November 2, 2008

So far I have no complaints about this device. It worked right out of the box.
It did have it stop working temporarily, but I just did a soft reboot. You do that by holding down the power button for about 20 seconds, release it, then press the power button like you would normally to turn it on. The problem was caused by the player being connected to a third party car charger when the car was started.
The only thing that could make this any better would be for it to have more memory, but that was more due to my impatience and lack of extra funds.
It requires some software from Sansa in order to transfer videos and pictures to the player. I found the software to be very easy to use, with an uncluttered interface. The videos come out as clear as the original, and the audio keeps track with the video.
The audio comes out great from the mp3 player, generally as clear as the source. I did not notice the "cheapness" that is suggested for the ear buds, they worked well if you have nothing else. The only improvement I would want for them would be some volume control. The player's audio setting has to be at its lowest in order to not blow out your ears with the provided ear buds.
Adding playlists to the player is a breeze, just load up WMP, drag and drop the playlists in, and sync it. You can also just drag and drop your own songs in, but I prefer to just pre-create a playlist. The player does have a feature for creating a on-the-go playlist, but it could use a little tweaking for easier use.
The radio feature works great, though it can have trouble with weaker stations. I love being able to store my favorite stations, it is prefered over my last mobile radio. Weaker stations come in clearer with a little tweaking of the headphone cord. The recording feature for the radio is also great, whatever you are hearing is what you get.
I haven't gotten to use the mic function to much, but it seems to work fairly nicely. The only complaint is that it picks up movement from the user, or the click to turn off the recording feature. There is a record button on the side of the player, wich woudl work nicely if one has to make a quick recording. This could also work nicely for making a memo.
All together, I am quite satisfied with this device.
Many features for a good price October 31, 2008
I guess it is a good deal. I got this mp3 player for my mother. I couldn't afford an ipod at the moment, so I looked for the next best thing. It has all the features and more than an ipod nano, it doesn't look bad, and the most important thing, it is cheaper.

NiceI October 25, 2008
I just bought this item on Amazon...ordered on Saturday night (I think) and received Wednesday. That was quick!
As far as ease of operation, I'm pretty technology challenged and I found that downloading music and playback is extremely easy. Decent size screen and easy to read. This is a refurb and I haven't had it very long, but for the price, I think it's great. In a matter of just a few hours I ripped about 350 songs onto my computer and then put them on the Sansa with NO difficulty and still have lots and lots of room left.
For the money, ease of use, quick shipping, and sound, I think it's a great buy. Would highly recommend to a friend and have already.
