great little player
I've had this player for a couple of years now. It has never given me a problem. I use it at the gym, where is gets banged up pretty good. I love the size, it's the size of a cigarette lighter, and slips easily into my pocket. The 256MB is more than enough for a week of workouts. It is very easy to add and remove songs. The battery life is good. I purchased rechargable batteries because I use it so often. The only downside is that I don't get great radio reception in the gym. I think it has more to do with the metal building. The 'joystick' is a little small and takes sometime to get used to, but that is to be expected considering the size. Should'a been called 'Timex' Because it definitely takes a licking and keeps on ticking. I bought this MP3 player for my daughter for X-Mas '05. It gets thrown in her backpack for use at volleyball practice, it gets thrown on the bed when she gets home gets shoved into her pocket for short road trips, packed in with tons of crap in her purse for long road trips and never fails. What prompted me to write was what took place recently. After a game she threw her uniform and warm up jacket/pants in the laundry. I opened the dryer to retrieve her freshly cleaned clothes and a set of headphones fell out, naturally I KNEW the MP3 player was in their somewhere. I found it in her jacket pocket seeing the familiar little crack in the corner of the screen (made by use not shoddy workmanship). I dug the battery (that luckily hadn't exploded or something) out of the dryer and put it in the player. The screen lit up and it played the last song (something by the Pussycat Dolls) she was listening to, but nothing else. I thought for sure it had met its demise. I removed the battery and placed the MP3 player on top of the dryer hoping the warmth would help dry it out and it might work. The thing works like nothing happened!........I had to write and say that the whole family owns Sandisk MP3 players and we love them. Absolutely no faults....You can't go wrong! good I had this one for about 2 years, then the headphone jack went out. It is very easy to use, on a mac its just drag and drop. One of the best personal MP3 Players I bought my SanDisk 256MB MP3 Player more than a year ago and I was more than happy with it. I compared it with my friends' players and there was no doubt that mine was the best. One of them had a RCA that was way bigger; while another had a Rivest(sp?) that wasn't user friendly at all. This player is light like no other. I had it in my pocket the whole time (with the earphone cord beneath my shirts) and sometimes I even forgot I was carrying it. I could turn it up, down, forward and rewind with no need to take it out since it's joystick make it easy to handle. The only problem with this player is that you need the USB cable to connect it to the PC. I've seen players that can be directly connected to your USB port, which is really useful since you won't be carrying the cable everywhere. If you're looking for one of the best MP3 players in the market (worth the money), this is what you need. If you're looking for one with more memory space then you need the silver or the blue versions. I love it! I bought this mp3 player about a year ago. It is really small and has FM radio. When I show my friends my mp3 player, they say it beats and iPod. This mp3 player has a big enough space for about 40 songs. Plus, an iPod shuffle has no screen and is twice the amount of money as this. This mp3 player has a screen and back round light so you can see whats playing in the dark. | |
