4 out of 5 stars Nice MP3 player   May 14, 2008
I have been using this MP3 player for about a month. The player is a nice size and solidly built. It syncs effortlessly with my MS Media Player. The 8MB size is more than adequate for giving my many hours of music to choose from. Among the features that I like: it's not an i-pod; there are many accessories to choose from; it is easy to navigate (there is even a power button!). The only thing that I do not like is navigating with the wheel, but I suspect that my silicon case it the root cause of this feature not working smoothly. I would recommend this player for someone who wants a solid, easy to use MP3 player at a great price. If you are 17, this one will not impress your friends.


1 out of 5 stars I hate this player; wish I'd gotten an iPod   May 14, 2008
 1 out of 1 found this review helpful

It's all about the controls, and the ones on this player stink compared to the iPod's click wheel. To scroll through a long list of songs takes forever--unlike the iPod, the speed of scrolling does not speed up if you speed your finger spinning up--takes forever to get halfway through the alphabet.

As others have mentioned, if you listen to podcasts or other voice recordsings, there is no way to come back to the point where you left off other than going to "scan through song" and rotating the thumb wheel endlessly, and slowly, to fast forward all the way to where you were before.

Oh and yes it's nice that it has an FM modulator built-in, but forget changing stations when you're on the treadmill--even once you "preset" stations--it takes 3 clicks and gentle scrolling to switch stations.

But the worst thing of all is the rotating thumb wheel's sensitivity--as you lift your thumb off of it to click the center, about half the time you inadvertently rotate it one more click so by the time you actually click the center button, you've rotated off of the option you meant to select. That and the totally un-intuitive buttons/controls--to go back tothe main menu you press the POWER button--huh? Yeah that makes sense.

Yes I too hate the whole DRM/proprietary Apple format but there's just no beating the design of an iPod.




5 out of 5 stars Awesome   May 12, 2008
I highlt recommend this product for the price. I bought it for the long drives to and from work and I can use it wheni work out and have more memory than I really need but for the price it is great.


4 out of 5 stars Sansa e280 MP3 Player a Winner   May 11, 2008
 1 out of 1 found this review helpful

Ordered my Sansa e280 MP3 player after reading reviews on many other mp3 players and was impressed with the features included (ability to play videos, FM tuner, voice recorder). Was a little disappointed that it didn't include the software CD as stated on the box, but was able to download it from the SanDisk site without problems. I have used it now for about 3 weeks and thoroughly love it! I didn't care for the earbuds that came with it, but that is a personal preference, so I replaced them with a set of over the ear kind and also added a battery/ac powered speaker set so I could listen at home and work without using the ear pieces. The sound is great, the videos look very sharp and crisp on the OCD screen. I have been very satisfied with the Sansa e280. It beats more expensive units hands down.


5 out of 5 stars Very Pleased, Especially for the Price   May 11, 2008
I shopped around and found this one here on Amazon for what turned out to be a great price. No complaints whatsoever, I really like the slot for micro sd card to add another 2GB of memory.
