4 of 5 SanDisk Good Price, Difficult to Use Sunday, December 04, 2005
sheila from Boca Raton, FL  

I just got my SanDisk player and it was really easy to upload music and the price was Great. However, when I went to use it, it wasn't all that simple! I guess I have to read the directions now and try and figure it out.

4 of 5 Affordable at its Price Monday, October 31, 2005
nandipatisunil from Milpitas, CA  
It has all the features and OK audio stereo quality. It doesn't have an FM recording but the voice recording is good. Moving files from computer is easy as it appears as a drive when attached. Also its quick. At this price range of 40 bucks, its worth a player. Overall i say its a Good choice.

5 of 5 Best for the money Saturday, October 29, 2005
A Customer from Seaside, CA  
I wanted a small and inexpensive player for my wife and this one not that only fits the bill but it works great for her. It only holds 50 mp3's or about 100 wma's but it's more than enough! Audio quality is better than average, it has 5 eq presets. The lcd is not that easy to read, but hey, it was only $34. Get it, you won't regret it! My wife loves it ;)

5 of 5 Great Value Deal Wednesday, October 26, 2005
A Customer from Tucson, AZ  
I have it for about 1 week. Everything goes well except I am a little greedy for large space. Highly recommend it. for less than 40 dollars, 256 MB FM/WMA/MP3/Flash Drive, it is the best deal I've seen these days. And much more, I got it in just 3 days though I chose the buget shipping.

4 of 5 Great value, poor design Saturday, October 15, 2005
A Customer from FL  
Good price. It does the work, sound quality is good. Controls are not bad. To open the battery cover is almost impossible. I would still recommend this product for its value.

5 of 5 This ROCKS! Saturday, October 15, 2005
SpencerCarson from Vancouver, WA  
I had sandisk's old Cruzer Micro Mp3 player companion and I thought that was good, well after about a year of continous use it broke, and their customer support was AWESOME! They replaced it within a month and the only reason for it taking that long was because I didn't send everything they needed in. WOw! They replaced it with this Mp3 player and I love it! I ran it for the first 2 days constantly for probably 15hours or around their! Definintaly worth it! Don't think about getting another one, this is the best! Though you might want to get the bigger sized one if you need more room, but you can easily cram 100 songs on here if needed. BUY NOW!

3 of 5 My kid loved it -- be gentle though Thursday, July 14, 2005
A Customer from Detroit, MI  
It sounded good, worked well electronically, but it's gotta be the cheapest plastic known to man. Had a lanyard attached...the loop broke. One of the clips holding the battery door broke. The headphones got jerked out ONCE and now the jack is VERY sensitive to the touch...doesn't really work anymore. While it lasted (3 months) my kid used it every day and loved it.

5 of 5 Awsome product!!!!!! Monday, April 18, 2005
Fordnightsvt from FL  
If your a runner,work outside, or just like listening to tunes while cleaning up the house this is your mp3 player. When you strap it to your arm it's so light, you can't even tell it's there. The sound quality is excellent and for the price you can't go wrong with this mp3 player. San disk gives you everything you need unlike the other folks. I highly recomend this mp3 player and 100% satisfied.

Penn State Student from State College,PA  
good quality sound, small size, fm and voice recorder... This thing is awsome.. Yet, if you have a larger budget, you may want to get 512MB or 1GB ones.. I loved this thing.. Highly recommended..

4 of 5 Works well, design could be slightly better Wednesday, March 16, 2005
Michael from Indiana  
This product works without a single problem. It would have been easier to switch between modes if a "mode" button was available rather than navigating the screen menu.

5 of 5 Easy to Use! Great Price! Monday, March 07, 2005
A Customer from Chicago, IL  
I purchased this item for my 10 y.o. daughter for Christmas. It was so easy to use that she figured it out very quickly. The price of the player couldn't be beat! It cost nearly half of what these were selling for at the stores. The armband that comes with the player is great. It makes it very convenient to use the MP3 player on the go.

5 of 5 Excellent MP3 player - Inexpensive too! Saturday, February 26, 2005
Brandon from Durham, NC  
Great MP3 player. After 5 minutes of unpacking, installing the battery, and plugging in my headphones, I was up and listening to MP3s. Great sound, easy controls, and very lightweight design. That said, the controls are easy to pickup, but a little difficult to master. Almost every button on the player has dual(sometimes triple) functions. While it's very easy to play/skip/scan with it, the extended features will take a little time to learn. Things like the delete function are hidden with a 2 second button press(probably so you don't accidentally delete files). The armband & cover are also a very nice feature that Sandisk has graciously included. The radio is crisp and clear and features up to 20 different presets. The only thing I would wish this player to have is: *Support for playlists *A clock feature(just to display the time) Overall, I am 100% happy with this purchase.

5 of 5 Great deal Friday, February 18, 2005
Pepelu from Irvine, CA  
Inexpensive, compact, and good battery life. There's a lot of different options to play around with like the graphic equalizer, shuffle, playing from one directory or all of them, turning the backlight off to conserve power, right or left handed interface, and more. It took me a little while to figure out, becuase I'm one of those people who don't like to read the manual. It came with a clear plastic case, armband, and somewhat uncomfortable earbuds...I added foam covers to them and now they feel great. You have to use a USB cable (supplied) to transfer files to and from your computer. I found that you have to be pretty close/loud for the voice recording, so I don't really use it often. I've used a cassette adapter and an FM transmitter to play it in my car, and both work fine with this device. Overall, this mp3 player is a great buy.

5 of 5 great player, doubles as a USB drive Monday, February 14, 2005
A Customer from Boise, ID  
Without a doubt, the best feature of this mp3 player is that you just plug it into your computer (unfotunately you have to use an adapter) and transfer mp3s to it. No stupid program that "manages" your mp3s for you, no Windows Media player, just transfer your mp3s onto it. I don't have to install some music manager at work, on my laptop, on my mom's computer, I just plug it in, transfer mp3s. It just shows up as a removable drive. As for playing mp3s, it works as expected. The UI is not entirely intuitive, you'll probably have to read the manual to figure it out.

4 of 5 a good value Tuesday, January 25, 2005
Mark S. from Pok, NY  
I've used this for about 6 weeks. The battery life is pretty good. FM reception is fair. Sound is above average and can be tailored with the equalizer. I like the shuffle option. The controls take a little getting accustomed to but there are many options. Holds about 50 songs on average MP3 and 100+ using WMA with the near cd quality settings I generally use for ripping. It comes with an armband although I don't much care for it. It has a loop for a neck strap which I prefer but had to supply my own strap. The only thing I really don't like about it is you need to use the cable for downloading your tunes. It is too long - would have preferred a small 6 inch adapter or built in USB connector to go directly into the PC port. A good buy though at 63 bucks if it lasts (1 yr. Sandisk warranty). This cost $110 at the local mall....

5 of 5 Love this player!! Wednesday, January 05, 2005
STSGUY from Sterling, VA  
I was looking at high-end players holding much more storage than this, but I only needed it for casual use and 256 mb holds plenty of tunes (60 mp3s) for me. In addition to decent storage, this unit's price, ease-of-use with adjustable 5-band equilizer and FM tuner make this player a no-brainer. Also, the other large amount of positive reviews helped me in what I am happy to say was a worthwhile purchase. Great item!
