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.

I have the 1GB player. The audio quality is not so good, but we are talking about a tiny MP3 player to use while you are on the road. In this case, it is good enough. If you want quality, do not listen to MP3, use your amp with your big speakers at home.
FM is fine. Voice recording is poor (low volume and quality).
A "must" - change the bundled earphones. I've replaced them with the Sennhesier Mx-300, (cheap, but much better. More bass, and better quality). Don't waste your money wi ...

I just bought the 128 mb version of SanDisk mp3 player for 60 dollars and I am pleased at what I got for my money. I would have been happy with just the mp3 player but then it has voice record and digital fm radio wich was cool when I had no music on it and I wasnt near a computer.

Overall a very good player. I bought this for $140.00 on Ebay. Microphone is very useful. Good FM tuner. Good sound quality. It is a small device and is very lightweight.

Don't be turned off the first time you turn on the SanDisk Digital Audio Player. Make sure to turn the equalizer to ROCK setting and audio will be fine.
I paid $196 for it plus theres a 30 dollar mail rebate so it will come out to be around $165. This player is tiny, comes with armband, works very well for working out. The AAA battery lasts about 15 hours. Player shows up as removable device in windows so transerfering is very simple except for the usb adapter cable you have to drag along with ...

I received the 512mb version of the SanDisk Digital Audio Player mp3 player for Christmas, and must say I am overall rather pleased. The audio quality is excellent and the device is also fairly loud. Navigational controls are fairly simple to use, however the joystick is a little small when considering it functions as both volume and track advance controls. The FM tuner is great as is the voice recording mic, up to 35min of quality audio on this device. My only gripe is with the extra cable you ...
