It's part of my life
I didn't know if I'd use an MP3 player much when I bought this device and I didn't want to spend too much. I've now owned it for over a year and I cannot live without it. I use it for listening to audio books, news and podcasts. I used to read about 12 - 15 books a year, but now -- because I can take this on walks, listen to it while I'm driving and traveling and doing errands -- I "read" about 50 books a year and have a more active lifestyle. It is easy to download books from Audible, or using the Playfor Sure technology I can download books from my local library. I chose this device over the more expensive iPod and other MP3 devices both for the Play for Sure feature (which means free books from my local library) but also because it uses a ... Read More
Carry a whole lotta music with you.
This unit has worked woderfully well. I got may wife a 2GB SansaClip and she loves it, but said she like the lrger screen in this play. The clip is a bit handier. I also like that this unit has replaceable battery AAA size. I'm using a rechargabe. It is easy to operate even for clutses like me.
Perfect MP3 player using AAA battery
I got this player after my Creative Nano Plus got stolen. I need a player which allows me to pop in battery. Those players with built-in battery do not appeal to me, as many a times these battery flat out when you are outdoors.
There are reviews to say that there are noises in the music. This is not true, as music in 128 kb bitrate sounds good to my ears without noises as some people claim.
This player cannot play directly from folders but can playback by categories such as artistes, genre, album, year etc. I am using Windows Media to manage the songs in the player, did not install any software. Making playlist is cumbersome, unlike the Creative Mediasource which is easier.
Birthday gift
Bought this item for the grand kids for their birthday.They arrived fairly fast and in bulk packaging(as i knew I had ordered them).No instructions and no disc, but again I knew that going in.The grand kids got them and from what they have told me there are no problems with them.The FM radio works fine and they are able to download music in the plug and play format.There is the ability to go SanDisk web site for downloads of the instruction manual and I believe there is a download for the disc as well.So as far as I know these items were a slam dunk!!And at a great price!!
confused
i was very excited when i got the player but the battery wasnt included like they said it would be (not a big deal). it arrived sooner than expected. my biggest and only problem with it is that it has a playlist option but without the book for it I cant use this at all. i need to scan through all my songs to find ones that i want. also unless you look at the last pic on the site you dont realize how thick it really is. overall i wanted a good cheap mp3 player and i am very happy with it
