great little player [Posted on 2008-06-26] I just received this player and I love it. I was disappointed when I could not figure out the volume control,I had to download the manual and I still couldn't find it in the manual. Luckily I came back to Amazon to read some reviews to see if anyone else had that problem and discovered the wheel cranks the volume. Whew, saved me from returning.
Best bang for buck [Posted on 2008-06-26] The Sansa players, especially this one and the newer 8gig model, give you everything you need at half the cost of the iPod and they sound good too!
I really wanted to like this player... [Posted on 2008-06-28] 4GB capacity for the price was tough to beat, and at first I really liked this MP3 player. Lots of features, lots of storage, good sound quality, easy menu access through the scroll wheel. Having to convert photos and video through the proprietary software was a drag, and apparently there is a firmware bug that caused the player to crash repeatedly and with increasing frequency, to the point where it would crash while it was rebooting. Fortunately, Sansa has a firmware patch on their website, so the problem is easily remedied. JUST DON'T DROP IT. I had it in a rubber case at the gym and accidentally dropped it from 4 feet onto a rubber floor, and now the player won't cut on no matter what I do. Now I'm looking to replace it with a Zune.
Cheaper and Better thaniPod [Posted on 2008-06-29] I purchased the Sansa e260 for my 16 year old daughter after her second iPod had been lost/stolen. I had owned and preferred Windows based mp3 players (Creative and Rio) but she bought into the hype and had to have an iPod. Over time, she started to get annoyed with iTunes and their "exclusive" music management system. Now that she has the Sansa she will never go back. You can use their music management software if you like, but you can also just cut and paste folders like any other windows storage device. It is far easier to use and more flexible. She loves the controls, the sound is great, and it is far less expensive than the annoying to use iPod. PLUS - the micro SD expansion slot is a great feature. For $13 we bought a card and added 2GB of space. We have not, to this point, used the video or photo feature so I can't speak to that. Overall, this is the 7th mp3 player we've owned in our household - it is a great device and a tremendous value.
SanDisk e260 is great [Posted on 2008-06-30] Bought this for my oldest daughter. She loves it!
Easy to load, easy to operate, holds tons of songs. It can be set to sync with the computer when it is plugged in or you can sync it manually (we prefer manually or it loads everything-pix and all). No software included so just plug it in and go. Also, SanDisk's website will download new firmware to the Sansa to keep it constantly updated.
This is the second SanDisk we have bought, they are a great product!
