Rating: - Great machine
This is for my wife who uses it for exercising. I have tried many machines and none have done the job of being easy to use, holding lots and being easy to load (my job). I tried a ipod nano 4th gen and returned it to wal-mart in 45 minutes... completely non-intuitive. This Sansa does it all and with 8 gig holds over 1200 songs easy. Finally, I think she will be happy with this mp3 player! And it is drag and drop, what a joy.
Rating: - Second Sansa
I am very satisfied with this product. You get alot of memory for a good price. Video and pictures look great. And the expandable memory is a real bonus. It's easy to operate and I love the radio on it. The forum on their website is very, very helpful.

I bought this product on Sunday November 16th. I returned this product today, November 18th.
Monday day, it was great. I loved having some tunes to listen to at work. Monday night, when I wanted to listen to the radio - no sound (even after turning it all the way up). I reset the player to "factory settings", voila! I had sound again.
Tuesday early am, I turned it on long enough for it to go out. Yes OUT. It stayed out. It was plugged in all night. Tuesday day, no response. Tuesday night, still no response.
I purchased it from Costco on Sunday. ... Read More

FM Radio
Simple navigation
Easy sync with Windows Media Player
CONS:
Low resolution video screen
On-the-go deleting is slow
Not many accessories to be found

The reviews and info provided by Amazon were very accurate and the product is excellent. I also inquired of one of my institutional IT gurus and it turned out that he had a Fuze and felt very strongly that this was a better value for the money than an ipod. I'm a very satisfied customer.
