 Very Cool Player September 9, 2008

This is a standard purchase in our family--good for movies, photos and tons of music. The controls have held up well to two years of gym use, including water exposure, multiple drops and gymbag storage. I'd buy this again if mine ever dies.
Consider buying refurbished. September 9, 2008

Since there are so many fine reviews here, I'll just add my two cents' worth.
For $59.99 I purchased a refurbished model of the e280 and couldn't be happier. This model beats the iPod Nano 8GB on features and the sound is about equal with perhaps a slight nod to the Nano. The unit looks exactly like a brand new one with the exception of the word 'REFURB' embossed on the back.
Features:
SanDisk doesn't require you to use any particular music source or program, so iTunes isn't an issue.
The Sansa includes an FM receiver -- the Nano doesn't.
The Sansa includes Video playback -- the Nano doesn't.
The Sansa's screen is a bit larger and the picture quality is excellent.
The Sansa includes a record feature allowing recording of the FM signal or your voice (with its own microphone).
Sansa players include a microSD slot allowing for memory expansion. An extra $25 or so gives you an extra 8GB as of this writing.
Operation between main memory and the expansion slot is seamless (without alot of menus, dialogs, etc.).
The Sansa includes a built-in equalizer with presets (Classical, Jazz, Funk, Rock, etc.) and a custom feature allowing you to build your own sound, something the Nano doesn't offer.
Dowloading music is as easy as drag-and-drop. I use Windows Media Player version 10 (with XP) and have had no problems. Make sure your files are .wma lossless or you will get a 'Bad Track' error message. This is found in the Options menu of the Media Player.
I'm told the Sansa has a greater flexibility with play lists, especially coupled with Windows. Sub-menus are easily handled as is artist information as is cover art. I've heard (but have no first-hand experience) that managing play lists with the Nano is more involved.
The included earbuds are actually decent, although I've upgraded to the Sennheiser PX100 headphones. I recommend the Sennheisers, but it's great that a refurbished product comes with a good pair of stock earbuds.
The owner's manual is short, sweet, and very clear. But if you get stuck as I did with reformatting the refurbished unit's memory, the toll free customer support is very good, polite, and solved the issue.
I've purchased some accessories for the e280 such as a car/wall charging kit, a clear crystal case, a leather carrying case for the player and the 'phones, and an FM transmitter that allows me to play the contents of the Sansa over my car stereo.
I also purchased a 2-year warranty for about $11. Refurbs come with a 90-day warranty, so 2-years plus 90 days is a bargain. The new units come with a 1-year warranty.
All in all, I've got a great digital audio player with accessories for only a bit more than the cost of a new e280.
Highly recommended.

I love it.
Buy Jabra 820 noise canceling over-the-ear headphones and you will be amazed at the rich and detailed sound it produces. Using this combination, I heard things in my favorite music that I never noticed on my rack stereo system. So I started using them in baggage claim, in the office, walking to work, doing mathematics, and then at home....
So bought the Altec Lansing inMotion speakers from the same source. I strongly recommend the speakers, which have a rich sound and surprisingly deep bass (listening right now). I like them so much I bought a second set for my office at work.
Like everyone else on this site, I like the fact that I can drag and drop MP3 files on Windows. I don't need or want special, clunky iSoftware to do that for me.
Also, I think the unit is beautifully designed. I have carried Sansa products around the world a few times with no protective covers at all and they still look like new. Apparently that is not true for the iCompetition.
I have no interest to watch movies on it, so I can't speak to that.
I paid $90 for it through Amazon-Electronics Expo. That's an amazing deal---I almost paid $150 at Office Depot.
sexy sansa August 31, 2008
I read some reviews of refurb sandisks a couple days after i got mine and became a bit worried...but...my mp3 player is attached to my ear or car at almost all times. It is playing an average of like 17 hours a day. As i type this, my sansa is rockin' away. It has briefly frozen up twice, but was no problem. I pushed the power button and it turned off and came right back on with no problem. I love my refurb and would recommend this product to any and everyone. rockin on random all day long. thank u guys so much...
affordable and easy to use August 23, 2008
Like stated above. mp3 was easy to set up, and even came fully charged.simple drag and drop of audio files. I am by no means an expert at adding pics or videos so I don't even try. For what I need it for(exercise and drowning out coworkers)it works great for me.
