 Love it! October 26, 2008
It's very easy to add songs and is great for running. It's very light and small, so it's easy to run with it in your hand (I didn't like the arm strap/holder it came with).
Thanks October 24, 2008
Cover for batteries is a little loose. But item is perfect, great to receive such an awesome player for so little money.
 A perfect short money alternative to an iPod October 24, 2008
I bought this for my 6 year old, thought I've used it myself as well. It's of good quality and easy to use; so easy a 6 year old can do it.
Totally amazing October 15, 2008
I converted all the tunes I put in it, to smaller WMA files so I can cram a ton of stuff in it & have it still sound good.
The earphones are good & comfortable for the price.
A 900mha rechargeable AAA cell lasts 7-10 hours of heavy continuous use. Using it a few hours a day so the little AAA cell gets a break, it'll give a runtime of around 20 hours total. Carrying a spare tiny AAA cell is no big deal, or you can buy another cell at just about any store in the world real cheap if you run low on power.
Preset & custom equalizer settings are great. FM Radio reception & quality is above average for a small player of this type. It has plenty of presets for your favorite FM stations... If only they made mini players with AM tuners too.
I'd like to see a solar powered version of this someday, that recharges the rechargeable AAA cell by placing it in a window. Perhaps one with an LED flashlight in it as well.
The odd shaped player is really tiny, & can be easily carried around in a pocket. Very rarely do the buttons get accidentally bumped in my pocket.
It's extremely easy to use. Also easy to load, or delete files via the USB port.
It's been banged around & abused a lot, & still runs perfectly.
I just had a fire last spring & lost almost everything. It was exposed to extreme heat, steam, hot wood sap, & wound up under charred debris, ashes, & water. After I cleaned & dried it out, it still runs great, & looks almost new.
Unlike most mini players, this amazing little baby has enough power to plug UNPOWERED, UNAMPLIFIED, speakers into it. It won't play the speakers loud, but louder than any mini-player can run a speaker with no amplifier/booster... all on a single AAA cell. Enough to enjoy background music in an average sized quiet room without being tethered to headphones.
I use a set of Phillips mini speakers for mine. But have plugged it into the big amp & sound systems at work... The folks think I'm playing a quality CD, & are surprised to see it's that little thing playing all those songs.
It out performs my new Motorola W490 cell phone player in all categories as a player. The phone isn't loud enough, hard to find headphone & audio adapters for, & won't power a speaker directly much. The phone also won't play WMA files. So even though my phone has 2.2gb of memory, I can cram more tunes in this player, because the WMA files are so much smaller to still sound good.
I'm so happy, I'm here today to buy the other SanDisk player with the bigger memory.
What a Deal! October 15, 2008
Bought it on sale for my brother. Works great and even has an FM tuner (My iPod doesn't even have that) It is compact and has plenty of volume. Being over fifty, however, my bro has trouble reading the display. For only ten bucks, it was a great deal.
