 Something really worthy December 2, 2006
16 out of 18 found this review helpful
I was browsing Internet stores, reading reviews, checking different stores to find a good MP3 player. It took me a month to find Sansa. I was looking for megabytes, FM radio, nice design, but I found even more: it was a LOT of megabytes, RECORDABLE radio, BEAUTIFUL design, and also good screen, memory extension and an INCREDIBLE price. I thought that this is something like a joke, but for my happiness it was something real. So I bought it, I wasn't delaying a second. Now I own it for 3 months and I am still the happiest man on earth, because I love music very much, and Sansa helps me everyday too keep it close to me. This is what we need - quality, practicity and reasonable price. Bravo!

I got rhapsody when i ordered this... i put all the music i love in my library, then when the e280 came i just downloaded it as well as charged my player. Sooooo easy! I didn't want a mp3 because i thought I've got Cd's and i don't need one.... well i listen to this all the time, while i do everything! it holds tons of tracks and it plays only tracks and albums i like.... i can play by genre, artist etc and never hear the same song twice...unless i want to... wow i am very impressed!

I've got this device two weeks ago and I am very happy with it.
PROS:
+ solidly build, scratch resistant, looks great (truly "sexy")
+ great looking interface, easy and quick navigation
+ tactile navigation wheel for fast navigation (also looks great when shines blue)
+ good sound, custom EQ, also loud enough
+ sharp display; even videos are looking good
+ good tuner reception, sensivity over average, works also in Europe
+ 20 hours with one battery charge
+ the battery is replaceable: $19.99 if you need it one day... in contrast to $60+ for an iPod
+ supports MSC (Mass Storage Compliant) mode: no need for any software to transfer files, can be used for any data as USB stick
+ supports MTP (Music Transfer Protocol) and MS PlaysForSure (eg. for Napster To Go)
+ can by extended to 10GB with an microSD card
+ is not an iPod ;-)
CONTRAS:
- supports only an old QuickTime format for videos (big files)
- buttons are quite small and may be difficult to push
- upper surface is a fingerprint magnet (easy to clean, fortunately..)
- no gapless playback (very short - maybe 0.2s - breaks between live tracks)
- bad quality FM recording
- sometimes crashes during video playback
- microSD Card can only be used in MSC mode if I am right.. and can only be used for music, no photos/videos
I don't really need video, so big .MOV files is not an issue to me, and also don't care about audio recording... therefore I can easily give 4.5 stars ... or even 4 3/4. Truly great gadget!
 Sloooooooooooooooooooooow... November 27, 2006

I really want to enjoy this player... its a beauty to look at and is the perfect size. But...
Takes about 30 seconds to boot up, takes another 10 seconds to get anything to play, takes about 10 seconds to skip to a new song, takes about 30 seconds to transfer 1 song... i've never had a player that was anything but instantanious (except for the initial boot).
Great Unit November 24, 2006

I've never written a review on Amazon before, but I like this unit so much that I thought I'd capture a few points that I think make this player a great choice:
1.) Currently an excellent $/GB value.
2.) Build quality is great (solid metal backplane). Screen will scratch, but one of the many available screen protectors will address this problem.
3.) User interface is well-deigned. I'm a fairly big guy (6'1") with large hands, but I have no problems operating the 4 buttons arranged around the scroll wheel. I was apprehensive about the scroll wheel, but it works great for me. The fact that it - unlike the iPod wheel - is raised a bit (i.e., has a positive profile) makes it easy to locate with your thumb when the player is out of view.
4.) Battery life is excellent; I've never run the unit to full discharge, but with heavy use on trans-pacific flights I've never gotten close to battery-empty status, so the stated 20 hrs. seems very realistic.(Remember that turning the brightness down will do wonders for battery life...)
5.) My player is loaded to capacity, and it takes apx. 10-15 sec. for booting, no more.
6.) Sandisk phone customer service has been more than satisfactory on two occasions (wait time was quite long but the actual service was very good).
