Good Points

Small size. Ease of use (it is recognised as a hard drive so you drag and drop files into it). Armband. Sound quality and balance. Good radio. 1GB seems to be plenty of space. Good volume.


Bad Points

Interface is a bit fiddly. Manual is rather basic, and not entirely accurate. I'm not keen on the in-earphones (they sound OK, but I may look for an alternative). Software is a cut down slowed down version of Musicmatch Jukebox, which works quite well, but has really irritating nag screens suggesting I should spend another $20 on the full version.


General Comments

I was given a SanDisk Digital MP3 Audio Player for Christmas, having selected it after looking at the reviews of everything from the Olympus M:robe to the iPod; neither of which seems entirely satisfactory. The SanDisk takes a AAA battery (I bought rechargeables for it), and claims up to 18 hours from a battery. This compares brilliantly with the big boys like the iPod, for which battery life is a real issue. With the SanDisk, when it runs out you just put in another one.

In the fashion stakes it doesn't claim to look sexy but rather functional. My SanDisk will not generally be on view in any case.

As I write this, I am listening to a King Creosote CD which I have just ripped and copied onto it. The SanDisk does the Fence Collectives finest justice! I am heading off for a ski holiday in the USA in a couple of days, and it should help the trip to Salt Lake City go a little more quickly. Now to create a Classical folder and put on some Beethoven and Mozart!

This tiny machine is a great buy. Search online and it can be found for under £80 delivered. Mine came from PicStop, ordered at 4.00pm, delivered in Scotland at 11.00am the following day; not bad! I wouldn't normally mention the source but the price and service were both outstanding.
