Everything you need to enjoy digital music.

Fits Any Lifestyle
The Sansa Express connects directly to your computer's USB port. That means no extra cables to add to your already-cluttered desktop (if you do require a cable, an extension USB cable is included).

Full-Featured MP3 Player
The Sansa Express supports MP3, WMA, protected WMA, WAV, and Audible file formats. It includes 1 GB of flash memory, along with a microSD slot to expand your capacity and provide music portability. It also supports most subscription music stores.

Enjoy FM Radio--Now or Later
The Sansa Express features a digital FM radio tuner and the ability to record radio broadcasts. Keep that interview or song for later reference. Program up to 20 of your favorite stations as presets.

Voice Recording
Have a thought you need to get down before it evades you? Use the built-in microphone to record voice memos. Capture interviews, classes, short notes to yourself, or anything else you might feel inspired to record.

Sweet Simplicity
Once connected to your computer, the Express is detected by your operating system and appears as additional drive. Simply drag and drop your music files to the Express and you're ready to go. The lithium polymer battery is also recharged while the device is connected, giving you up to 15 hours of use at full capacity. The device is compatible with Windows XP and Vista, and requires Windows Media Player 10 or later.

3 out of 5 stars Great When it Works   October 3, 2008
Bought it about six months ago. $30, great deal! It definitely has its idiosyncrasies, but I was able to get around most of them. I used it mainly for listening to netcasts, shows which run anywhere from 15 minutes to over three hours. After a short while, some of the buttons just stopped working. For instance, the fast-forward button refused to respond, so I would have to use the fast-reverse if I wanted to go back to the 1:04 minute mark of a 3:00 podcast. It was a slow process, but hey, I paid $30 for it! It gradually got worse. The buttons became more unresponsive, it would freeze up sometimes, and I would have to perform a hard reset. The hard reset worked several times, but finally, after 6 months, the thing just stopped completely. I guess I got my money's worth out of it? 30 bucks for 6 months of use? It is a good little mp3 player when it is working. If you want a cheap little player that you won't miss that much if you lose it, well......this might be a good deal for you, or the Sansa Clip, the one I'm using now, which was 40 bucks. One issue that both Sansas seem to have is that sometimes a track will be on the mp3 player, but not show up on the list of songs on the device when you plug it in to your computer, thus leaving you with no way to delete the file from the player!? These take up space on the mp3 player, and may eventually leave you with very little free space over time. But hey, these Sansas are cheap, and they do work, so I would probably buy one again.

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.


2 out of 5 stars It's Worth the Less Than $25 Price for Limited Usage   September 13, 2008
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.



4 out of 5 stars Great Deal, occassional gliches   September 9, 2008
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).



5 out of 5 stars This MP3 Player Rules!!!   September 8, 2008
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!
