Solid MP3 Player

This MP3 player has treated me very well. It's hard to find MP3 players now days that aren't HUGE and allow video playback and viewable pictures. I was just looking for a simple mp3 player, as I don't want to watch video or look at pictures because I already have a phone that does that as well as a PSP. Mainly, I wasn't looking to spend 100 extra bucks to do more than play MP3s and I wasn't looking to spend the same amount to have an iPod. I cam accross the Sansa which looked way too good to be true. It was the perfect size and it had great storage capabilities as well as a nice vibrant screen.

I thought I would give it a try because the price was right and it did more than I even thought I would use on it. I was not dissapointed at all!!! This mp3 player is real solid feeling and it has great sound quality. I will list the pros and cons below that I have found since I've had it:

Pros:
* Vibrant screen can be seen even in full daylight.
* Great battery life.
* A rating system, so you can rate your songs from 1 - 5 stars.
* An "On the Go" playlist which allows you to add and remove songs to easily.

Cons:
* It only comes with a USB charger so you need to be buy a computer to charge it.
* I was using the star system to 'weed out' songs I didn't want. I subscribe to Napster To Go and just plopped a bunch of unkown songs on my mp3 player hoping to find some good ones. Well, I decided that I would delete all songs with 1 star and if I needed to room I could also delete the songs with 2 stars. However, you can only use the rating system on th device itself and not through Napster or Windows Media Player. This was dissapointing to me.
* There is only a way to single out you 5 star songs, but not 3 or 4 star songs. For example, you can't tell the player to play songs 3 stars and better. This would have been a nice feature.

The cons aren't really that bad, so I still give the review a 5 out of 5.

Full Service MP3 Player

I have been throughly impressed with the functionality of the SanDisk Sansa e280. For the price, it does everything that an MP3 player should do and then some. A very nice feature is the FM tuner. Great for those evening commutes on the subway/bus.

Take my word for it

Do NOT listen to the reviewers who say this takes 5 minutes to load or forever to load, etc. When I turn mine on it loads in 5 or 6 seconds. Period. Mine is almost full with tons of CD's from about 25 artists. I have an 8GB but I took a 2GB micro SD card out of a cell phone and popped it in for an extra 2GB. Works simple and flawless.
Comes with software for video conversion. It takes any video from your comp and puts it on the Sansa for you-same with pictures. I could go on and on. I had a Creative 20GB that locked up and rebooted every 10 times I used it and then one day after about 9 months it just died on me. Dead. Finito. I'm computer savy and went to the support pages and forums. The HD is bad and it's not fixable.
Buy the Sansa now-don't fool with a 2GB, get the 8. It's worth it. You can even get different software from Rockbox and play games like Doom, Mario, etc. in about 10 minutes. Screw Ipod. Buy this now, record FM radio, customizable EQ, etc. You'll be glad

Great Product, Excellent Price

Ready and easy to use right out of the box. Excellent audio performance. I'm able to put virtually my entire CD library on this device.

Battery Issues

I have bought two of these MP3 players. The second one was bought because I couldn't get the battery replaced. Both have had the same battery problem. Once the battery goes dead it will not take a recharge. I've tried twice to recharge the batteries without any luck, even Best Buy couldn't do it. Sandisk did replace one for free. My second one I have to now find a place that sells these special batteries and buy one. Otherwise the units are fine.
