Samsung YEPP YP-F1Z - Digital player / radio - flash 1 GB - WMA, Ogg, MP3 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The Samsung YP-F1 1 gb mp3 player is a small, but useful little player. The display is easy-to-read, it has a built-in clip for easy mounting on your person, and it is one of the very few players that still supports the Mass Storage Device protocol, meaning that you can drag-and-drop files on it as though it was a little hard drive (my favorite part, as I can't stand most of the sync programs).
Sound quality is good, even with the included headphones, and the controls are intuitive. The only real drawback that I have found is that the battery life is not what was advertised. I tend to get three to four hours before it needs to be recharged; less if I have it plugged into the car stereo.

SanDisk Sansa Clip 2 GB MP3 Player (Pink) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)BACKGROUND: I was in the market for a small MP3 player with primary usage at the gym. I was looking for a rechargeable unit as my previous player ate AAA batteries about every week or so. I considered three options of which the Sansa Clip was one of them. I eliminated the iPod Shuffle due to its cost and lack of display. The other primary contender was the Creative Zen Stone Plus (I rejected the non-Plus model due it its lack of display). I will reference how the Sansa Clip won out throughout the rest of the review.
SET UP: The Sansa Clip is about as simple as it gets in this area. It requires no additional software installation. My home system runs XP SP2 with Windows Media Player 11. When I plugged the player in to charge, it was detected and recognized automatically. I told windows to "Take No Action" as the default behavior when the device connects. This allows me to maintain complete control over the syncing process. My unit charged in about an hour.
MUSIC TRANSFER: You have the option of using simple drag and drop of MP3 files to the device as you would a USB flash drive. However, using Windows Media Player allows you the more advanced feature of playlists. Since I primarily use my MP3 player at the gym, I created multiple playlists for warm up, workout, and cool down. The workout lists are about 90 minutes while the others about 20 minutes. I really liked that I was able to create multiples of each for variety. Right now I have three of each with about 1.5 Gb still remaining to use as I please. Using Windows Media Player, you can sync albums, songs, or playlists as you would with any other device. The Sansa Clip fully supports all of these options so it is a nice low effort, highly functional set up.
SOUND QUALITY: This is an area where the Sansa Clip is pretty impressive. I previously had the Sansa M230, and I can tell a significant difference in sound quality. I am able to hear a lot more detail in the higher ranges (such as high hat cymbals). I am using the headphones that came with the unit, but I would image that higher quality headphones would sound even better. The player also has a series of preset equalizer settings for different music styles as well as one that you can customize.
DISPLAY: This is a distinguisher between the Clip and the Zen Stone Plus. The display is larger and easier to read. The mix of blue and yellow against the black background is also pleasant.
NAVIGATION: The Clip has a normal four button dial that is common to most small MP3 players. With the crisp, clear display it is easy to move around and select music by artist, album, song, or playlist. The only thing that I have noticed that doesn't work quite the way I would like is that if you navigate away from the song that is playing there doesn't seem to be a way to get back to it to see the details of what's playing. This is pretty minor, though, because I do not regularly navigate away from the song that is playing.
FM RADIO: This is about what you would expect from a unit with no external antenna. Strong signals come in clearly, but it is not going to match what you can pick up on your car stereo. This is a nice to have feature for me so it is plenty adequate.
OPTIONS: As I mentioned previously, my primary usage comes at the gym. I had used the song timer to measure the time between reps while lifting weights on my M230. However, the Clip has a power saving feature that shuts off the display after 15 seconds by default. However, you can change this to 30, 45, 60, or 90 seconds which should cover your needs. After adjusting mine, I wake up the display after completing a set. When the display shuts off, it's time for the next set.
USE ON THE GO: This is the other area where the Clip separates itself from the Zen Stone Plus. You can clip the player to your clothes or an arm strap (I use the one that came with my M230). The Zen Stone Plus requires purchase of a separate armband accessory for an additional $15.
COST: At base price, the Zen Stone Plus and Sansa Clip are a push. However if you factor in another $15 for an armband you have a clear winner given the other advantages.
CONCLUSION: The Sansa Clip is now the leader in 2 Gb small MP3 players. Give it a spin and you won't be disappointed.

SanDisk 512 MB MP3 Player Blue Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Nice little mp3 player, solid and small. I got mine from Amazon for $108, Newegg didn't have it in stock at the time:-( Anyway great little mp3 player, I was considering the Creative Muvo N200 and the Muvo TX FM both 512MB models, both have radio also and cost about the same as the sandisk, the N200 has a line in, the TX FM doesn't. The Muvo TX FM can also be used as a flash drive for moving files of any type and does not need a cable to connect to a pc. They are nice products, but after I saw them in a store I realized that they were too small and the screens were microscopic.

I have perfect eye sight but I am so accustomed to my Iriver IMP-350's nice remote with good display size( a CD MP3 player). I looked at the manuals of the creative Muvo's and the sandisk SDMX1-512 and was able to see that the interface and menus of the Sandisk player was superior to the Creative Muvo's. [...] I also considered the Iriver flash players, but they were too expensive(still are). I have only used my Sandisk player for 2 days now and it has given me no problems.

The file transfer is very fast and the battery life seems pretty good so far. The battery is at 3/4 bars after 2 days of use, and it's the cheap alkaline battery that came with the player. I have one complaint, I wish it came with a neck strap like the creative Muvo's. I used a strap from an old pair of sun glasses. It comes with a nice clear plastic protective case and a set of cheap air phones, plus a nice velcro arm strap for all you joggers. The quick start manual is ok, the full manual if on the CD or the website. It's got a nice backlight and clear screen, sound quality is excellent and radio reception is very good, better than my Iriver IMP-350's reception.

The CD comes with musicmatch jukeboox version 9, I didn't even install it, it's crap, stick with winamp or media player. You don't have to install any drivers for windows xp. The entire screen flashes when transferring files, which is super fast. Voice recording is ok, I wish it had radio recording like the creative models though.
This player is great and cheap, go for it, you won't be sorry:-)

Creative Labs NOMAD II Digital Audio Player Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Before I bought the NOMAD II, I read a lot of reviews from Amazon. I saw there were a few downsides to this product, but I took my chances anyway and I do not regret it at all. I believe this product to be the best mp3 player out in the market now.
I admit, I don't know much about mp3 players (this being my first one), but compared to the reviews of the other top selling players, the NOMAD didn't really have much drastic flaws to it.
I'm not going to get all technical now, except the fact that NOMAD can support other future formats like WMA, and most of the other top-selling ones do not.
OKay...NOMAD has a limited memory of 64MB. Most of the others do too. Yeah, there are some that hold 96MB now, but who knows...wait a few years and it'll probably be a couple Gigabytes...that is, if future formats of music files do not make mp3's obsolete...or if you really want to wait that long for it to come out. When you think about it, it's not really all that bad. Of course, people would like the player to hold infinite amount of music... 64MB is just not enough, I know. I'd love it so much if one Smartmedia card could hold 100 songs compared to 12-15...I also wished CD's and tapes can hold that much at one time, too. Speaking of that, hey...can tapes zip from one track to another? Does it give CD quality sounds like the mp3 players do? Can tapes hold more than 20-30 songs averaging 5 minutes a piece? And CD's? Burn as many mixed song CD's you'd like, but you can only do them once on each CD, that is, if you do not mess it up in the process...and they take a lot of time. Plus, you can't hold that many songs in there either. Basically, you got the same limits as you always had with portable music players with the exception of a lot of extra convenience involved. Believe me, this little gadget is very convenient. It's light as a feather. It won't skip. It won't "eat the tape", wear down the motor, wear down any heads (tape heads),...no need to clean the heads or lenses since there are no moving parts. The mp3 player isn't fragile like CD players. You bump into someone with your CD player in your backpack, there's a pretty good chance your CD player will be...killed. With this unit, you don't need a backpack. Just slip it into your front pocket. Run into anyone you want and I'll guarantee there'll be no damage to your unit...unless the person you ran into beats you up first and punches you in the chest, crushing it. I could go on forever with this but I must point out some other "downsides" to this unit.
I read somewhere that the FM radio wasn't that great on this. Works fine for me. I mean if I were in a basement with no windows, surely I'd get bad radio receptions. I'm not saying that the reviewer who wrote the complaint about bad reception lives in a basement...I'm just saying radio signals vary wherever you go or wherever you are. I get good reception where I'm at now, but if I move south of my neighborhood, I get static on my FM radio...as well as my cellular phone.
Some reviewer said this unit doesn't have a fast forward or rewind...YEAH IT DOES! Hold the ">>" or "

SanDisk 256 MB MP3 Player Red Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I recently bought this player. Both my wife and I have been in the market for new MP3 players and just haven't been interested in a hard drive based player, iPod or not. We don't need to carry that much music around and I like the non-moving flash thing a lot better. We mainly want to use a player for workouts and traveling. So far, I think it's an excellent player with some minor exceptions.
The player comes with a clear plastic snug carrying case that not only provides screen protection but also can be worn on a thin belt or on the provided stretchy armband. It also comes with the USB cable and headphones that are too short for my liking, but then maybe you don't want long cords when it's attached to your arm. It takes one AAA battery and I haven't done any form testing or anything, but my original battery has lasted several days now with several hours playtime each day. The battery meter is flipping between one bar and no bar so it is getting low. There is a quick start guide, but the manual is a 29 page PDF on the CD. The CD also has Musicmatch and 98SE drivers.
This player has been compared to the iRiver series of MP3 players, and I would have to agree they are very similar except that the iRiver takes a AA and is triangular while the SanDisk player takes the AAA and reminds me more of a thick cigarette lighter both in shape and size. I was also told the iRiver is bit pricier. I like the finish and look of the player, which shows through the case. The red and silver is very sharp and the whole look of the player is very clean. It has the USB port, which has a rubber door on one side of the player and the headset port, microphone and neck cord hole on the opposite side.
The actual operation of the player is also very good although it has a lot of features and functions that are only accessed by the joystick and three side buttons. With so many features, it takes a little bit getting used to navigating around the player and of course the manual does not go into great detail about the features, although it does have an exploded menu diagram which is nice. This is probably why I only gave it four stars. I might have actually done 4.5 stars if I could have, because once you have the chance to play around with things and read the manual it isn't a big deal.
There are three modes: player, FM radio and voice recorder. I am most impressed with the radio as this was a minor reason why I bought the player. The radio actually does a decent job of picking up the stations here in the Phoenix area and the reception and sound quality is fairly good. Considering how small the player is, I was surprised I am getting as good a sound as I am. The player will automatically scan available stations and add them to the presets and you can tune manually and add presets manually as well. You can also choose if you want mono or stereo mode, although I don't know why anyone would want mono, unless it saves on batteries. I don't see myself using the radio too often, but it's nice to know it's there if I needed it. I haven't really played around with the voice recorder either, but it records at 32kbs and 8Khz so not the greatest of quality. Again, voice recording is not the reason I purchased this for so not a big deal.
So, as far as the Audio Player mode, it is a great! A few minor quibbles, but for the most part, I think both my wife and I will be very happy with this player. I have uploaded mainly 192Kbs music files and 64kbs spoken word files and they all sound excellent. As a non-audiophile, the sound and volume are quite good for me. Maybe even better with a quality pair of headphones. I can't even get past 32 (of 40) on the volume scale before my ears are hurting so I know the volume should be just fine while working out at the gym. The display is blue backlit and somehow they manage to put a lot of info on the LCD without cluttering everything up. And supposedly,It does read the ID3 tags and displays them. I am not going into all of the features here, but it is packed with them: sleep, hold, repeat, shuffle, playback speed, A->B play, equalizer. One feature I will go into detail about is Resume. I am a big fan of the audio book and my previous MP3 player did not have resume so when I had a long file playing and I had to stop the player, it would not pick up where I stopped it but at the beginning of the file. Not this baby. It picks up right where it left off when you power it down. Whoo-hooo!! No more fast-forwarding to find my spot on an audio book!
The joystick on the player is a multi-function device that navigates the file browser and the menu system. This is the only part of the player I am not thrilled with. The file browser can be cumbersome to navigate with joystick and sometimes I end up hitting select or the wrong direction and end up a different place than I thought. The other thing that seems counter-intuitive to me is that rather than selecting a directory or file by pushing select, you need to select the file or directory by pushing right (or left, the display is rotatable). I keep forgetting this, and I end up back at the currently playing song. But other than that, I really can't complain about it. I can easily see folders and files, and files that are too long for the display scroll to the left to see the entire file name. These minor things are the other reason I did not give the player a full five stars. Just a matter of getting used to it and someone else might not even agree that it's a problem.
The joystick also is the way to get into the main menu of settings and functions: Audio, Display and System. From here you can customize just about anything on the player including: display orientation (useful for righties or lefties), backlight time, ID3 tag scroll, display info, auto power off, sleep timer, FM region, FM scan sensitivity, resume control and a ton more. You can see the memory usage, firmware and format the player as well. Full featured and well designed. The other three button, A>B, Rec, and Play/Stop/Power also do multiple functions depending upon if the player is playing and the mode it is in.
Windows 2K and XP both recognized the device as a USB drive no problem and I used both Media Player and drag/drop to add music to the player. Although I did notice today that if you build folders or add files via drag/drop, then Media player will not do anything with those particular files and you will have to change them via the directory listing in Windows. Haven't bothered with the included Musicmatch as my media is already set up in Media Player. According to the instructions it will play MP3, WMA and WMA DRM files. Voice recording is in ADPCM format.
Since this is to be my wife's player, the real test was if she was going to like it and at first look, her comment was ""Ooooh, look how cute!!" And she liked the weight of it as well. So, now I just have to instruct her on how to use it. I ordered the 512MB model for myself, which was probably a good move since both of us will have the same player and I can answer any questions she has since I will have the same way to do things. I highly recommend these players for anyone looking for a flash based player with all the basics of today's digital audio player and a few bonuses as well and a great price.

MP3 Player, 2GB Sansa C250, Red, Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I got one of these as a birthday present from my boyfriend so that I could plug it into the car stereo he got me for Xmas!! I LOVE this thing, it has so many features!! You can store photos, record from the FM radio that is also a great feature. I never leave home without it....which lead me to losing it, along with the extra micro card i had in it that was full of music!! I was in such a hurry one day that I left it on top of my car in the parking lot at work. Of course by the time i realized that i had left it there, it was gone!! So therefore I decided to buy the exact same one, and so happy that I found another RED one on this site!! I cant wait to see it in the mailbox so I can stuff it with music!! I have been lost without it in my car, especially when stuck on the 210 in Cali traffic!!
Bottom line..Im recommending this in a major way. Its a decent price and does everything and MORE than the expensive ipod!! Cmon now, you have to buy a FM receiver for an ipod?! That sucks!!

SanDisk SDMX2-1024 Sansa e140 1 GB Digital Audio Player with SD Expansion Slot Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I reduce my stars to three for most people, but four or five for me since I listen to Audible books 90% of the time with the MP3 player.
I really liked what I heard about this player for audiobooks until I saw the review that said that it does not bookmark. I thought so, too, but I discovered all you have to do is press the Play button and it brings you back to where you left it. (see details below of the steps, but they are
1. Turn off while playing
2. Turn on.
3. Press play. Starts where you left off.
Sound
The sound is beautiful. It is the only flash drive player I have found that handles Audible format 4 which is the highest and is comparable to MP3. The next lower is format 3 and is comparable to FM radio. Format 3 is the standard for most. I tried it with NetLibrary audiobooks which is available from a number of public libraries. I had the same problems with the Sansa that I have had with the Creative Muvo (see below) so I think it is the NetLibrary format.
Volume Knob
I did not find the volume knob hard to use when it was out of the case. I have not tried it in the case.
Case
There is a trick to get the player out of the case. It goes into the case top first so the top of the player is at the top of the case. All you have to do is press with a little pressure on the the top of the case - toward the bottom of th case - to ease it out of the bottom of the case.
Display
The elapsed and remaining time digits are WAY, WAY too small.
##############
Additional information on the bookmark. I am beginning to suspect that there are different versions of the firmware on different ones.
Works with Audible Audiobooks
Here is what I am able to do consistently. I have tried in different chapters of a book and in different books.
While listening to an Audible book.
It is playing...
1. Hold the side button until it shuts down ...it will shut down when you hold down the side button for 5 seconds - it counts down with squares on the screen and then when you let up, it shuts off.
2. Press the same button to turn it on.It is now NOT playing, but it DOES show the title of the book and its chapter on the screen.
3. I press Play and it starts exactly where it left off.
Bookmarking Does Not Work with Music
I WAS NOT able to get this or any other form of bookmarks to work with music. This is definitely a screw-up.
Problems Using NetLibrary audiobooks.
I have problems with NetLibrary audiobooks with my Creative Muvo MP3 players as well. These are being used by several public libraries, but not all players - iPods don't work at all - work with their files. The problem I have seen is that files longer than about two hours do not show a longer length or they show as 00:00 in the elapsed time.
Cable Not Proprietary
Another point was made that the cable is "proprietary." The cable is not proprietary. It is a USB 2.0 A-Mini 5-Pin B cable. I didn't think it was proprietary because my Creative n200 has the same cable. To be sure, I bought two different makes and designs (one regular, one retractable) from Radio Shack tonight. They worked with no problems with the Sansa e140.
Does NOT take three to four minutes to start up with card. I have an e140 with a one Gig SD card. I timed it. It takes 10 SECONDS!

(More customer reviews)I bought a c250 a couple of years ago and like it for it's small size, clear FM radio reception, user replaceable battery, Micro SD expansion slot and good sound (probably the only player that comes with decent ear buds). I recently bought a pink (actually closer to rose color) c250 for my wife and she loves it! The 'pink' has a slightly modified interface that works a bit better for file transfers than my old one. (I use the Rhapsody music service software for loading the Sansa.) I've had no problems with either player although the interface is a little confusing at first, so you may want to resort to reading the manual before you start. Negatives: The screen is not bright enough to read in sunlight, there is no clock function and you can't bookmark your place in a file if you switch to another program. If you want those features, you'll have to pay more. Amazon's price on the 'pink' was excellent!

SanDisk Sansa c240 - Digital player / radio - flash 1 GB - WMA, MP3 - red Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought a black c240 over a year ago and it's still working perfectly. I take it hiking and when I go to the beach, etc. small enough to put in my pocket. Sound is great and it's easy to load up hundreds of MP3's using Windows MediaPlayer, or to sync the player to new additions to a favorites list in MediaPlayer. I really like the Sansa, it's smaller, less complicated and sounds as good as the Apple competition that I considered. I bought a red Sansa c240 for my wife, but she has arthritis and has trouble using it, so am selling it. It's has very little use.

SanDisk Sansa C240 1GB MP3 Player Blue Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I got this little MP3 player for Christmas back in 2006, and it still works. It's really easy to use and sync with a drag-and-drop format. It's tough little bugger and stood up well to three years of being stashed in the bottom of a purse. The only problems I had with it were (1) the battery life (2) storage (3) and freezing up.
After three years, it now only has about an hour of playing time, two if you're careful. But if you're only planning to have it for about a year or so, it shouldn't be a problem.
One GB isn't a lot of room, and I could never get more than 170 songs on it, but a 2 GB memory chip isn't that expensive and it's really easy to install.
I only had it freeze up on me a couple of times, and all I had to do was remove the battery to get it working again. Just a minor frustration.
Now it should be noted that it can only be charged by hooking it up to a computer, and you cannot delete songs without doing the syncing it. You CAN, however, delete the whole library on the device....
All-in-all, I was very pleased with my purchase and would definitely reccomend this product to anyone.

SanDisk Sansa e130 512 MB Digital Audio Player with SD Expansion Slot Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This mp3 player is pretty darn good. It is light weight, easy to handle, and fairly inexpensive ($103 from Amazon). I bought the Sandisk over the Rio and RCA offerings because Sandisk, at least in my research, didn't seem to have the number of complaints about product quality and lack of customer support that the other two brands had. Also, it seems as if getting at least a 512MB flash memory player with an expansion slot is going to cost around $100.
This player represents the second Sandisk mp3 player in our household. We were impressed with the ease of use and tranfer speed of the 512MB flash memory player (with no expansion slot). The Sansa player is no different. It is literally drag and drop on to the Sansa. The number of features also put it over the top versus the RCA and Rio.
Overall, you can't beat the usefullness of this little gadget.
Pro's:
--Small size, light weight
--USB 2.0 file transfer speed (transfer 100mb worth of songs in seconds)
--Backlight display
--Plays mp3 and WMA (you can put both on the player at the same time and it doesn't even blink)
--Radio reception is fairly decent here in the hills, but still won't pick up all of the available stations in your area (none of the small mp3 players on the market get anything more than decent reception so don't use this as a selling point regardless of what you buy)
--Sound quality is decent even when playing songs at 64Kbps. If you use this compression level, get good earphones.
--Lots of features including a customizable 5-band eqaulizer with presets, WOW surround sound simulator, and other sound effects. Also, has stopwatch timer and a host of other settings you can play with.
--Battery life is excellent. Not as good as some, but still near the top of players that have good battery life.
--It comes with pouch, armband, earbuds, usb cable.
Minor Con's:
--When you purchase this player, buy headphones. The included earbuds are pointless as the sound quality is barely adequate and the included 3 sets of earbud covers can't keep the earbuds in my ears.
--The battery cover door comes off fairly easily. It looks like it's on there pretty tight but it's not. I think Sandisk did this because of the many complaints that the battery covers on their mp3 players were too difficult to remove causing many people to break the battery cover (like my fiancee did with her own player).
--Your music files need to be properly tagged. I thought my files were appropriately named but this player doesn't seem to recognize the songs. I think the ID3 tags on my music are not correct as the player will display the music title you typed in but it will also show the album, song title, and artist as unknown.
--The buttons on the front are hard to push if you are not expecting it. You just have to adapt to pushing the button deeper than you would think.
--The volume is controlled by a rotary wheel on the top right side of the player. It is very difficult to turn, especially when it is in the holder. I would have preferred two more buttons on the front or side than the wheel.
--Getting the player out of the holder is incredibly difficult. Wipe of the display of the player and the inside of the plastic holder before putting the player in the holder. The plastic film that protects the display during transport leaves either static or a light adhesive film on the display that makes it stick to the plastic holder after you put it in. It took me five minutes and many attempts to get it out before I realized what happened. Also be careful not to yank off the battery door when pulling the player out of the holder. There you have it. None of these gripes add up to more than a minor irritation which is why I gave it five stars (I would have given it 4.5 starts if I could have). However, having experienced other mp3 players, this one has the best combination of manufacturer product reliability and product support, versatility and expandability (up to 2GB SD card), features, and sound quality. My finacee has started using my player instead of her own player. Added on 4/25/05:
In my initial review, I forgot to mention two things. The Sansa ignores your file organization so don't bother trying to setup seperate folders for different genres of music. This is why I warned before to make sure that the music you have is named and tagged properly because it does allow you to play songs by artist, album, date added to player, and so on (let's hope SanDisk fixes this with some software upgrades). Also, there is about a 1-2 second lag when switching between songs. This can get a little annoying at times but you will get used to it. To be fair, one more upside is that I added a 1G SD card (SanDisk Ultra II) and after the initial 60 seconds to read the card and update the playlist, it doesn't miss a beat. I still really enjoy this mp3 player.
Added on 05/02/05:
My Sansa has started to drink batteries like I drink Coke. Not sure why; it could be using extra juice to read music on the SD card. I may have to purchase rechargeable batteries if this keeps up. I got 6 hours of playing time out of my last battery. My fiancee's Sandisk (a flash memory player, no expansion slot) goes about 15 hours on a AAA battery. Not sure why the huge discrepancy between our two Sandisk players but my best guess is that my batteries are being drained reading the memory card. It would be helpful if someone out there with some knowledge about this would write a review.
Added on 0725/05:
After having a chance to live with the player for a few more months, I have to downgrade the rating to 3 stars. The player has become harder to live with. It plays reliably and the sound is good but it is still drinking batteries like crazy and the rotary volume knob hasn't loosened up much. Sandisk hasn't offered any software upgrades to address the lack of being able to organize your files any way you want to and it is still very difficult to remove the player from its holder. Having owned several makes and models of players before, this is still better than those players because each of those players died 2-8 months after purchase. Shop around and get what sounds good to you.

Sandisk 2GB Sansa Fuze MP3 Black Bundle (SDMX14R-002GK-A57/A70) w/ Sandisk microSD 1GB Card Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Hello MP3'ers. After buying about $800.00 worth of IPODs for the kids over the past several years my wife decided she wanted an MP3 Player. A good friend of mine had purchased several Sansa's for his kids and highly recommended them. After owning the Sansa Fuse for several months it's the best $50.00 I've spent on MP3 players. It smokes the IPOD for the money. I like the IPOD ear-buds better but that's it (and I consider that to be very minor)! The Fuse I bought came with an extra 2GB card too.

(More customer reviews)Got one for each of the kids. They were sold when they saw all the same capabilities of the ipod, plus the feature of being able to listen to FM radio and RECORD SONGS FROM IT. Battery life is good, and not being tied to itunes is a plus. Simple interface to the computer, and you can use Windows Media Player to do everything if you wish. Pretty seamless. The kids are very happy... great features at a much better price than ipod.

SanDisk Sansa Express 1 GB MP3 Player (Black) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I picked one of these up for work yesterday at a major retailer/e-tailer that seemed to have it "first", because I was really feeling the necessity of a device like this and the feature-set sounded promising. I frequently have to crawl around in ceilings for insane numbers of hours doing networking and cabling jobs. I needed something to fill the dead-space in my brain.
Light-weight, feature rich. Very attractive (and user-intuitive) design. The surface is black mirrored finish. Very shiny, but prone to fingerprints. The "finger print problem" isn't a big deal for me. Everything gets grimy and icky up there anyway.
The battery life is insanely good. I don't run the volume way up, so I'm not over-driving the amplifier - probably one reason. Anyway - I worked for 16.5 straight hours, and never stopped it. It was on shuffle/repeat all. It was still showing 1/4 on the charge indicator when I went to bed. I plugged it in before I fell asleep, and it's fully charged now.
The included earbuds sound pretty darned good, but they aren't terribly comfortable, and they don't stay in my ears with any kind of activity. I'll be immediately replacing them.
I also couldn't believe the thing is so feature-rich but doesn't include a clock! A few bits of scratchpad nv and a few bytes of code. This surely has to be on the to-do-list for Sansa...Capable of playing both MP3 and WMA (Windows Media Audio) at a much improved size-for-quality (to simplify: WMA is effectively MP3 at 50-60% of the size), this is far superior to my view than Apple's "Shuffle" being primarily limited to iTunes/AAC.
The FM receiver had moderate sensitivity. Not much of a groundplane for that antenna, so I guess it's to be expected. It works fine for strong stations. I wasn't really buying it for the FM tuner anyway. That said, many gyms have an FM broadcast of the TVs over the equipment. That's probably what this is designed for primarily - and it'd be perfect for that.
The display is awesome. VERY readable and it's downright gorgeous in a totally darkened space, as are the blue backlit buttons.
I transcoded 293 songs out of my MP3 collection to 64kbit/sec WMA. It required just under half the device's storage. So at that bitrate, 600 songs may be a fairly accurate accounting with the types of music I listen to at work. I'm sure the sound may lack a bit, but when you're just using it as background filler - who cares? It's about the amount of music stored at that point...
Just for kicks, I encoded a 384kbit MP3 track from an SACD (Charlotte Church. Very demanding.) utilizing a commercial well-reviewed MP3 CODEC implementation, and plugged the Express into my More Headroom headphone amp, and that into my HD580 Sennheiser headphones.
There was some identifiable amplifier noise on the Sansa. It didn't punch the lows or lift the highs. Probably 75% of SNR that I get on the Creative Zen NX. A friend's Shuffle shows similar characteristics to the Sansa Express (by seat-of-pants method). The Shuffle seems to carry the bass a bit better, the Sansa a bit cleaner on the highs. But that's just my "golden-ear" opinion. I don't think I'd want it as my only MP3 option for more audiophile-type listening. But again: It's a "micro-device".
The one niggling "gotcha" that is common out there: Why put the lanyard attachment point on the cheap and disposable cap section rather than the actual "business end"? Hmm. Maybe I answered my own question. ;) I like the idea of the lanyard, but wouldn't use it given the probability of losing the device and keeping the cap.With all that said, I am *super* happy with this device; for its purpose and value proposition. In fact, I'm ecstatic. I would give it a 9.25/10 rating. Earbuds are a very personal thing. I'm only docking them 0.25 for the earbuds. I have no problem replacing them. I'd like to hit them another 0.25 for not adding a clock - but heck, the Shuffle doesn't even have a display. I'm going to hit them another 0.25 for apparent SNR/THD/Amplifier quality, but I'll apologize for it since other similar micro-players have similar apparent performance.
Honestly, a "fairer" rating is probably 9.90/10 when all factors (cost, size, battery life, display quality, quantity of music stored, overall feature-set, etc.) are taken into account.
This is truly a ShuffleKiller. I just hope SanDisk can push the marketing and advertising hard enough to upset the Apple cart [sic].
Yeah, scratch that... I'd give it a "10" on the emotional scale for a day and a half of use. ;)
With apologies to Cliff Richard:
"Walkin' about with a head full of music, MP3 in my pocket and I'm gonna use it-stereo, out on the street ya know whoa whoa whoa, [...] I feel so ecstatic, it's music I've found, and I'm wired for sound"--- Jodie

SanDisk Sansa c250 2 GB MP3 Player (Black) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I did quite a bit of research to get this one. and here are the reasons, I arrived at this decision:
Pro:
Size: It is pretty small yet not hard to use the controls
FM Radio: That's pretty nice in such a small MP3 player. Top that iPod
Expansion slot: The micro SD card makes this player future proof. Have more music to upload? get a card and you are done. iPod doesn't have it.
Voice recorder: was not on my wish list, but nice to have.
changable battery: battery goes bad, you can change it. iPod can't do this.
If you hit a button by accident while listening to the music, the button just wakes up the device then you can tell it what to do. Small feature but saves a LOT of annoying moments.
Sound is pretty good, unlike some reviews I have read. It is pretty much in par with other MP3 players especially iPod which is the benchmark these days.
Price: half of iPod Nano.
Con:
The package only comes with a USB charger. I have seen some plugs that have a USB output, or you can get their optional AC adapter.
Memory slot although nice, but there is no dummy card in it to avoid things getting stuck in it, so I just put a cheapy micro SD to fill the hole.
The screen could use some more contrast or better color scheme to display the menu better. You get used to it right away, but I am being super crtitcal here.

iriver T7 Volcano 4 GB USB MP3 Player (Sky Blue) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought the iRiver T7 because I wanted a player with:
- built in USB plug
- Radio
- MSC mode for use with drag n drop
I previously had an iRiver T30 and got used to it's quirky complexity.
Compared with the T30 the T7 is very slow in all operations, playlists don't work in MSC mode, and the radio frequency shifts slightly after a short while. Even small details have changed for the worse, such as audio stopping while in the Settings and Browse menus, buttons are now harder to feel/press, and you have to press any button once to "wake up" the player before buttons can be used normally.
