Customer Reviews

A Waste of Money
When I received this player last Christmas, I was thrilled with it. It had excellent sound quality, the capacity seemed to be more than ample, the FM tuner worked like a dream,and the controls were extremely easy to master.
The only issue I had with the player for the first few months was that the screen would occasionally "ghost." I did discover that this could easily be fixed by buying a special screw driver and removing, then reinserting, the battery.
Roughly six months later, however, the player became full and it took it fifteen minutes to load every time I turned the play off or on. I figured that this was not a big deal as I could easily buy a micro sd card for the expansion slot. Consulting the Sandisk website, I learned that any card should work--this was completely incorrect. After two weeks of my computer and the player not recognizing the new card, as well as numerous calls to customer service, my father realized that only 4 gig and less cards would work in the slot. I got a new card, and was finally able to use the player again. Due to a flaw in the firmware, however, I am unable to delete any songs from the player, though I've tried every "solution" the Sandisk customer service page recommended.
Now, the death of my Sansa has finally come--the wheel has become inoperable. I am unable to make any selections from the menu, choose songs or albums, or even control the player's volume. Even the slightest movement of the play sends the wheel moving through two or three rotations.

In short, I would gladly have kept my old Creative USB MP3 player had I known how terrible this player is.

Good looking MP3
This is a stylish looking unit. The only issue I have with the product is it should be easier to change the volume.

SanDisk 260
I am enjoying the usage of my SanDisk. It is great.
