    1/2 the price of the iPod Nano, but ...

    This is actually a great player for the price. What I like: The styling is nice. It's a good looking unit with a good screen. Perhaps the biggest plus is how easy it is to expand the memory. You can purchase a 32GB for about $50 these days which ups the memory to 36GB. Wow. I also like how it interfaces with Media Player. Very very easy to transfer music to this device. My son has an iPod and I swear I hate iTunes. But maybe just me. Media player is where all my ripped CDs are so it's much easier for me to transfer music with this device. Sound quality is surprisingly good even with the stock headphones. I have nice headphones, so it sounds even better, but I took the stock earbuds on a plane ride and they were quite adequate. What I don't like: Navigating the menus was a chore at first. Hard to get around. I don't really like the touch pad for the scrolling/tapping. I felt like some of the menu options were hidden and difficult to find. After spending a couple of days, I learned my way around, but that was rather frustrating at first. What I can't comment on: Video. Haven't used it. I had an older Fuze from a few years ago and the video was sub-par. Don't know about this one. Bottom Line: Overall, this is a great unit if you just want to listen to music and want good expandability

    Aggravating under any circumstances

    The Bad: Touch sensitivity inconsistent and crude. Touch interface behaves differently at different times, difficult to figure out how to get out of or into an album. Difficult to navigate to any desired place. Shuffle automatically turns on after being turned off. Screen sometimes locks up - hold power button for five seconds and wait for a minute or two. Timeout when browsing can't be controlled, is too short, and automatically sends you back to current iterm - then difficult to renavigate to desired selection. The Good: Accepts a micro SD memory card. Buy the cheaper 4Gig version and for $20 add a 16Gig card for a total of 20 Gig for a pretty good price. Summary: Don't buy it if you have a low tolerance for frustration.

    Good Value

    I bought this for my Grandson on his 9th birthday and he really enjoys it. It is kind of hard to get turned on sometimes and the controls are a little dificult in comparison to the ipods. The plastics aren't of the best quality either, its only a couple of weeks old and already showing quit a bit of wear. Overall we are satisfied with the purchase.

    It's all good.

    Bought 2 of these for my kids [6 and 8] and they work fine for their needs. The key pad is a bit sensitive so scrolling for songs/albums and back and forth is a bit of a challenge. The songs/albums/artist do not organize nicely, but much better than several other MP3 players I bought in this price range that I had to eventually return for a myriad of reasons. This one is worth the $50-60 I paid.

    do not waste your money

    My wife bought me this as a gift. she can have it back. I wanted to throw it at a wall the second i turned it on. I hate the touch buttons. Moving thru the menu and all other features are bad at best. I have never hated a electronic item more than this one. I would feel bad giving it away to anyone even for free. So in the trash it goes. what a waste of my money. I would rather have gotten nothing as a gift from my wife.

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

    I bought this player for a couple of reasons, the first was that I thought a mp3 player is a just that, it does not matter what the names is, well was I right? price, expansion of gigs and the look turned me too this player.. Well stay away it froze up on me the first week of purchase. Do your self a favor just buy a apple.. I returned it with no problems and purchased a ipod...

    Not User Friendly

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

    Sound was really good when we figured out how to access the sample music. Menu was difficult to figure out and navigate. I wasn't able to figure out how to install playlists, and loading entire artist folders to get one song seemed cumbersome. I don't particularly like Windows Media Player, and you must use that program to get anywhere with loading this device. The "touch buttons" were often unresponsive, and proved to be difficult for my mom to use. The menus were also confusing to her. Since it was a gift for her birthday, I returned it and purchased a more user friendly device.

    Should be the Sansa Fuze "-" instead of "+".

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

    Since my fuze was shorting out I had to get an exchange. The only thing in stock was the fuze +. So I took it, and upon using it I have found that it is inconvenient in multiple ways. Navigation is very hard, you have to keep lifting your finger to scroll. It is only a touch pad, not a touch screen. The "Pause" button is very easy to hit and it is very easy to accidentally next to the following song. The volume and power buttons are on the side and are NOT dug in so although changing volume may be easy, so is unlocking the mp3 player (which to any person who uses their mp3 player while doing any sort of physical activity where you cannot stop and fix the settings) Also, the lock/unlock button is the power button which you have to hold for a short period of time to lock but if you hold it too long it shuts down. Fine for use if doing something light and you can give the mp3 player your attention, not convenient if you need a steady mp3.

    Had to exchange it for another one...

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

    Well the first one lasted about 3 weeks before some lines came across the screen. It sounds fine and still plays music but the lines got worse. Took it back to exchange and had no trouble in doing so. Haven't had the second one for very long at this point. Just hoping it doesn't do the same thing. If it doesn't,... it's nice mp3 player,... if it does the lines again,... well, then it's dog doodoo.

    I download books and find the mp3 good quality. I like that it locks otherwise it is very sensitive to touch.

    Pain to update tracks, won't read all the tracks that are loaded. It picks out it's favorite 10 apparently and thats it even though I have close to 2GB of tracks on it. BA BA BAD. Sandisk should be ashamed of themselves.
