best sounding mp3 [Posted on 2008-08-30]
i've tried sony, philips, zune and this little player
sounds the best. for me the worst was sony then philips and then zune. with equalizer at normal setting, express accurately
reproduces audio files. it sounds natural not like sony (2g nwz series)which sounds artificial. haven't tried ipod but express would definitely satisfy even the most discriminating audiophile.
This MP3 Player Rules!!! [Posted on 2008-09-08]
I've always wanted a USB flash drive MP3 player. So, I was glad to see such a large, reputible company like SanDisk made one.
I almost didn't buy it due to so many people reporting bugs with it. But the forum has solutions to this...including a software update.

Well, I'm thrilled to report that I received mine and have been using it every day successfully for 2 months. I didn't update the software but will if I have any issues. You know what they say..."If it ain't broke, then don't fix it".
I love the FM/AM radio feature. And after long research I found that you can go back to the place in the file where you left off. To do this, while the music is playing, shut the power off. Then next time you turn it back on, you'll see a "BUILDING DATABASE" message. Then the Sansa goes right back to the point of the song where you turned it off. So, you can use it for e-books, etc.
The microphone is amazing, too. It works well. I even like the ear buds.
The battery works well, too. I love the fact that it charges while I upload/download files to it. Nice!
It would be perfect if it had both a lanyard and a clip. But it only has a lanyard, which is great. But a clip would allow the ability to run/exercise with it.
Great product!
Great Deal, occassional gliches [Posted on 2008-09-09]
I was able to purchase this from an Amazon market place seller for about $25 bucks. It was brand new unopened in the infamous clamshell casing. It worked superbly for a week. Now it works great 95% of the time. One day, I stuck it into the usb port of an older work computer and it now has two minor glitches regularly:
1. If I turn up the volume a little, it will go all the way to max volume, either needing a soft reset or for you to go to the main menu and then lower volume.
2. It will not shuffle songs, if you reset and had on shuffle it behaves as if not on shuffle. repair: just turn shuffle back off and on again.
I use it daily and 1. glitch happens maybe every other week or so, i guess when I charge the drive on the computer. (as far as I know it charges on computer only, i think for about 3 to 5 hrs, I leave it on as soon as I get home or over night.) I tried an external usb charger but not notification of charging appeared on screen.
FROM USER ERROR the FM radio didn't have any sound, but I discovered that play/pause toggle button will mute it.
Remember when putting microSD in it has to organize info first so can take 5 mins or more to load larger microSD card (2 gigs).
It's Worth the Less Than $25 Price for Limited Usage [Posted on 2008-09-13]
I've had a 1GB Sansa Express for about four months. I also got a 2GB microSD card at the same time through Amazon. This player has very good sound through good earphones (not the ear buds that came with it) or powered speakers. The microSD expansion didn't work out for me. With the microSD card, it took the Express an unacceptable length of time to build its database each time it was turned on, if it completed the database build at all without locking up. Also, my Express has never been able to play very long on a battery charge, and it takes a very long time to charge (I'm talking overnight and then some).
So ... I put my most favorite music in the 1GB internal memory and use it only for my morning walks. With this 45 minute to 1 hour usage, it performs well. I plug it in to a USB outlet and leave it charging until the next morning, and it's charged enough to last an hour plus. I would advise against buying the Sansa Express if you're hoping to use it as your only MP3 player. I got a Sanza 4GB Fuze from Amazon for $68, and it works wonderfully as my primary music player.

The product is ok but it came with no directions which has made it difficult to use. I wanted to use the recorder but half the time I cannot figure it out and when I do it is by accident.
