Sandisk SDMX7-2048 SANSA C250 2 GB MP3 PLAYER.......2007-12-24

The manuel needs to show or explain the new items of the NEW C250 i,e what was format in the listings and what to do when you install the new SD micro card,it looks like the manuel that came with the product is a cover all for all the c200 Mp3 players.Tech support was great we discuss the manuel also that there should be one for each Mp3 player that explains the product you have and not to guess on how it works!

Great Alternative.......2007-12-23

One of my pet peeves with the ipod is that it doesn't have built in radio. I always thought if you gonna pay so much money to play your own music you can atleast enjoy FM radio. But as an alternative device, I see that the sandisk player is great with MP3's and radio which should be good enough for a music lover that desires a portable device. (the memory card option is also a nice touch) Though the screen resolution isn't that great and making an organized playlist is yet to be discovered...this device is great. I recommend for those of us that don't have "ipod money".

Glad I got this.......2007-12-05

This is the first MP3 player I've gotten for myself. I mainly use it to listen to podcasts and love how easy it is to get my tunes and podcasts onto the player. I also have an FM transmitter/charger for it, so it gets used almost every day when I'm commuting and also when I walk. Made the mistake of getting my daughter an iPod Nano last year for Christmas and it was nothing but a pain. It ended up being stolen out of her locker recently, but this time she'll be getting a Sansa 6 GB player for Christmas to replace the iPod--I'm sure it will be lots fewer headaches for both of us. Now that her brother just let me know he wants an MP3 player for Christmas too, I'm back to Amazon to order a Sansa for him also.

Lots of potential, but is is wasted.......2007-12-02

A great little player and recorder when it works. I am on my third unit as the first two had major issues and would freeze on start up. The problem seems to be in the way that the unit handles either malformed mp3s or mp3s that are encoded with abr/vbr options. The player just doesn't recognize them and will get stuck because it doesn't know to skip things that it cannot see. Lately my player has been not displaying the main internal memory when I connect it to the computer. It will only show the small 16MB partition that you can use in an emergency to restore firmware to the unit. Perhaps that is a bit of an omen that I should pay attention to.

It only likes certain kinds of mini-SD cards. Take a look around on the net before purchasing a 2GB mini card to expand the memory of the unit.

Can be very slow to start up if you use it in MSC mode instead of MTP.

The unit is a great size. Comfortable to hold and use. Audio recording is excellent and perfect for taping classes. Battery life is good considering the size as well. If it were not for the firmware issues, then this would be a first rate product instead of a brick waiting to happen.

Can't be beat when you consider price and features.......2007-12-02

My significant other and I bought two of these at a Black Friday sale for $40 each. Can't beat that.

Had some trouble getting Vista to recognize the unit on both computers, but discovered a trick for that. In the player's settings menu, change the USB setting from Automatic to MSC. When you plug it in, Vista will install the proper drivers. After that, you can leave it on MSC or set it back to Automatic (which you'll want to do if you want Windows Media Player to manage the device).

The included headphones are garbage. Bought a cheap pair of Griffin earbuds and the sound quality is MUCH improved.

Very happy with the player itself. If the USB mode it set to MSC, you can drag albums and songs onto the player from My Computer. You're limited to the single GoList playlist though. I prefer to use it with the mode set to Automatic, which lets Windows Media Player transfer music to the player. Just drag an album to the sync list or create a playlist and drag that--click the Sync button and you're done. Transferring music that way also has the benefit that the player doesn't have to "resychronize database" every time you unplug it from the PC.

The nice thing about using Windows Media Player to manage the device is that it checks to see what you've already transferred. When you sync a playlist, it doesn't transfer duplicate songs. It only transfers the songs that aren't in the player yet.

The user's manual doesn't explain how to use the player very well, but the interface is intuitive and you quickly figure out how everything works. A previous Amazon review commented you can't jump between radio presets. You can, just press the silver select button. For a while, I was disappointed because I thought you couldn't fast forward or rewind a song. As it turns out, you can do so by holding the next/back buttons instead of tapping them. On the whole, the interface is excellent. You can select songs by artist, album, or song; you can select "play all"; or, you can select one of the playlists you transferred. I use it at the gym, so the shuffle option is also much appreciated.

Love the FM Radio function. The reception isn't as good as our car radio, but the majority of local stations come in clear. The gym we go to uses FM transmitters to let people listen to the audio from the TVs there, and I get reception from those in the parking lot. Once you set up pre-sets, just tap the select button to cycle through them.

I thought 2GB of storage wouldn't be enough, but for my needs, it's plenty. I keep a huge music library on my computer, and listen to that at home. For the Sansa, I just dragged some albums onto it and made a playlist containing my favorite songs. Right now, I have 12 albums on there and a bunch of individual songs--nearly 400 songs in total. I have about 150MB left, which will hold 2 or 3 more albums at least. If I get cramped for space, I'll just buy a 2GB microSD card, which should tide me over.

I love the size of the unit. It's small and light, but the screen is sharp and the build quality is solid. My SO dropped hers onto a tile floor in the process of opening the package. A loud WHACK was heard. No cracks, no damage, the player works fine. Advertised battery life is 15 hours. I'm finding I get about 6-10 hours on average. That's fine for me, and it is totally dependent on how long the screen is on. The less time you spend fiddling with the buttons, the longer the battery will last. I don't mind the proprietary USB cord / charger that it came with, since I have three computers, an Xbox 360, and a PlayStation 3 in the house. They all have USB ports to charge with.

Also, the Xbox 360 and PS3 recognize the music on the device, so you can listen to it while you play. The PS3 will actually let you copy music from the device to the machine, or copy music to it. Yes, you could use the player with a PS3 instead of a computer if you wanted.

All in all, extremely satisfied with the purchase. I get most of the features of an iPod Nano at well under half the cost, I don't have to use iTunes or stick to a single library manager, and I can continue to use MP3 files that don't have DRM built into them (the player does support DRM with WMA though, so you're fine if you use Rhapsody, Napster, or Wal-mart's music stores).
