Not bad for a first MP3 player
The size is great, it's about the size of a cigarette lighter. This player is pretty easy to use, though to set up right hand or left hand us, it helps to read the manual. The big drawback (maybe it's just mine) is that it freezes. I have to take the battery out and put it back in just to turn it off. But once it freezes I have to format the player and re-sync all the music. Sometimes it happens out of nowhere when it is changing songs, other times it freezes from the time that I've loaded new songs on. I was told to download a patch and upload that onto the player, however that doesn't fix it AND it takes up MB. But all in all this happens maybe 2 times a month. If I can find another player at the same price I'll get a new one. Great things come in small packages... I Loved it from the start. Small, compact and easy to use. Plug in the USB2, download your songs, throw in a battery and away you go. Size is great and the arm strap is wonderful at the gym. So light that you don't even know it is there as you run on the treadmill or stomp on the stairmaster. I have had it almost a year and will be buying the little lady one for Christmas. Excellent Budget MP3 Player This player is generally about $70 in price, and it has even made its way into certain Kmart stores and other such retail stores. For certain people who need a flash MP3 player without spending half of your budget, this player is for you. Its audio quality is not bad at all, though audiophiles will notice a few slight defects. Don't waste an incredible amount on high-quality good sounding earphones. What you should do is invest in some far more comfortable earbuds. The stock earbuds that come with it are quite uncomfortable, but have decent audio quality. If you plan on using this often, plan on getting another pair, or using another pair. The player itself is well made. The screen is a good size, and the backlight is quite helpful in the dark (it's no cheap-o backlight, you truly can see it in the pitchblack). Browsing the player is quite functional, but not for novices. For a usually technologically-savvy consumer such as myself, it took a while to get used to it. However, I am convinced that once you quickly learn how to use the file-system, it's a cinch. The radio feature works very well considering there isn't any external antenna. There's no way to record FM radio, but that isn't a feature that most look for. The record feature used for recording voice is very well made and is useful for certain things (whatever they may be). The clear protective case that comes with it is very nice as well. You won't need to purchase one of these for it. The arm band that comes with does get the job done, but it isn't the greatest thing in the world. All in all, this is quite an audio player for the cheap price. Sandisk is a great company, and they have not failed in entering the MP3 Player market. I highly suggest this to anyone who doesn't feel like forking over $40 or more for a comparable product from a more expensive company. Good value Player works well for me although I don't use it more than for working in the yard. Quality is good and holds enough music to do what I need it to do. The earphones are not good if you're moving around. If I was commuting with it and sitting still, they'd be fine. Bought it on price and reviews. If you're looking for Ipod type results, probably not for you. decent device, horrible service After only six hours the earphones stopped working. Serveral days of emailing tech support later, SanDisk refuses to send a replacemnet. The display screen is also slow to display. It has no alternative means of power (like an AC adaptor). The radio receiver is a nice addition. The included arm strap is fairly useless. | |
