    Worst product I've encountered

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I purchased one in February 09. In April 09 it was replaced because it wouldn't come back on after charging. In May of 09 I had it replaced again for the same problem. Each time I got about 5-6 weeks out of it then had to return it and get it replaced then reload 4 gigs of music back on it. Best Buy was good about just giving me a new one each time and the 3rd one has now made it to October without failing but I will not buy another Sansa product once I get to where this one fails and I have to actually buy a replacement. Cannot recommend this product even though it is very low cost but the quality is very low as well.

    Nice Unit

    My wife had a SANSA clip that was the 1 gig version. She loved it--wore it out listening to audio books. When she purchased this unit, it kept locking up on books. She learned to 'rename' the books to a format of .mpg and play it as a sound, but shouldn't have to do that...

    pure mp3 player - without the iTunes hassle!

    small, reliable mp3 player with an awesome battery (14 hours). Not fancy but more than enough if you just want to listen to music instead of impressing you co-worker ;)

    Not very durable, BUY THE INSURANCE PLAN

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    It has a lot of great features for a compact device, more than you would get with other devices of similar size. It has a voice recorder, FM player, it has a backlit screen, is expandable, you can buy pre-loaded mini-discs that have over a thousand songs each. The only bad thing about this player is that it's not very durable. I only had it for a couple of months and it stopped working, it just wouldn't power up anymore. I'm glad I bought the insurance plan, I got it replaced for free with the $10 plan. I'm just hoping the next player lasts longer or at least breaks down before my insurance plan is up. Hope this review helps.

    My first mp3 player, so nothing to compare it to...but I love it. Local radio reception not that strong, but that's not what I bought it for.

    Just received product in the mail today, it worked for all of hours and then now it will not turn on. I immediately thought the battery was dead, so I plugged it into the computer. Still it will not turn on, light up, or anything. Now I have to send it back and I am very disappointed. I thought after researching and reading reviews that this would be a good mp3 player. Obviously I was wrong.

    Works well, easy to install, load and use. I'm very pleased with it. My only small negative is that I wish the clip was easier to use and sturdier. But everything related to music is just great!

    Poor Service

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Great little device for a couple of years then it "acted up." Like repeating every song twice and not allowing one to add more songs. Sansa.com wants $35 on a crdit card before they'll answer your questions. Then they lock up your computer if you decline and you have to do "control, alt, and delete" to escape. So is it a throw-away device? I suppose so, except that there's considerable time to load up the device with your favorite music.

    This is my first mp3 player. I have bought ipods and sony mp3's for my kids in the past. My opinion is that this is just as good if not better for less than half the price.

    My girls just love the MP3 player. I bought them on from Walmart.com and immediately the earphone broke and then froze up on her. Purchased these and have had no problems.

    I purchased this as a gift and loaded it with music. It was so easy, and the sound is great. It just clips right on your clothing and away you go.
