i gotta say after owning the mini and the 2nd gen Nano, i am quite frankly blown away by this lil sleek thing. The menus r simple and the sound is very good. I tried the video, but it was a bit too small for me. for Seventy two bucks, skip the new nano and get 2 of these puppies for the same moolah. i would recommend it to anybody. go 4 it.

I went through 3. Yep, and all three went on to have the "ticking/skipping" sound when I turned up the volume. It wasn't the earphones. It wasn't the format of the songs: it comes with sample songs on which I tested the volume. Then I look this little flaw up in google and one forum says that Sandisk is "working on it." Nice, well while they work on it this player is heading back to the store. Buy this with a warranty, just in case.

Let's see. What's right with this?
* No need for special software - can drag and drop files from explorer OR windows media player.
* Great sound quality
* Tiny fit-in-shirt-pocket size
* Great screen
* Simple user interface
* Expansion slot so I can have books on one sd card and music on another
What would make it MORE perfect?
* If the spinning of the thumb wheel was virtual instead of mechanical, I worry about it breaking
* If it allowed me to do Fast Forward and Reverse in audio books rather than just starting over at the track beginning. :-(
* If I could bookmark INSIDE a track so that I could come back to an audio book at the point I left off.
But for what this costs, I can't complain - 5 stars

The Sandisk Sansa Fuze is a quality MP3 player. I've had the 4GB model for about a month. I've got about 1500 songs on it, with about half a gig of space left. I only use it for music -- I don't have any need or desire to see pictures or movies on a less than 2 inch screen. Paired with a pair of Audioengine 5 speakers Audioengine 5 - PC multimedia speakers for iPod - 45 Watt (total) - 2-way - black, it now serves as my primary stereo system. The sound is as good as or better than any component stereo system I've had. It plays for hours -- I think the claim of 24 hour battery life is probably reasonable, although I haven't let it run the battery all the way down before recharging. You can get a wall charger for it for next to nothing -- I got this one:SANDISK SANSA Premium Black Travel Wall A/C Charger for SanDisk Sansa c100 / c200 / e200 Series (although the Fuze is not listed, it does use the same input connection). This charger works great, and it's never taken more than a few

This is my third 4 GB Sansa (Not quite ready to go into iPod land yet!!). I gave my first one to my son and then bought another. The previous generation was a good entry level for me since I usually would use it when I am traveling by air or train for long trips. I don't use it every day, so I did not need 80 or 120 GB of music. So my comparison is only based on Sansa models.
The previous model c260 was a great mp3 player. The visuals were excellent, accessing the menu was easy and moving between songs was a breeze. Eventually, after calling tech support when I first got it, I was able to sync with ease, as well. However after a while, the second c260 began to freeze when I would try to get certain songs. Eventually, it would freeze and not turn on. There was no predictabilty to this, so often times when I needed it, it was just "not there for me".:-(
The Sansa Fuze has taken it to the next level, but not yet to the top. I had no problems syncing it with my computer, the same

This is everything I ever wanted from an MP3 player plus more. By plus I mean 3 extra (BIG) features that the FUZE has and the Nano doesn't. That would be 1: microSD expansion slot ( I have an 8gb SDHC in mine, a total of 12gb ) 2: an FM Tuner and 3: The ability to record FM radio, That means recording a favorite song from the radio and going back and listening whenever you want YES!!!! . Another thing I like about the FUZE is that it's fully compatible with my Playstation 3 (the Nano isn't) . I pop in a CD and then import it into my Playstation 3 in MP3 format, then copy to my FUZE . The control wheel is easy to use as it actually turns and clicks so you won't over travel like on the Nano's very touch sensitive wheel. One feature that surprised me was the Podcast feature. I thought that feature was just for iPOD's. If there's one thing I don't like it would have to be the ON/OFF switch NOT button. It's a little hard to turn on and off with no nails. Overall, Im VERY satisfied with this

This is a great player! I picked it up at Circuit city for fiteen dollars less then they wanted to sell it to me, so already I had a good feeling about it. I couldn't help but tear open the packing in the car at a red light, just to look at it. It has a thin, sleek design, with an easy to use thumb-wheel.
I brought it home and right away signed into Rhapsody, the music service I use. It is quick to download and has plenty of space for all the music I use, plus photos and videos.
Plusses:
Lots of space.
Can play music, videos, and eBooks, with room for photos.
Has lots of setting so you can personalize it.
Cool design.
Small.
Downsides:
No big downsides.
Overall, a great player. I would reccomend it to anybody, children or adults. Who needs an iPod when you have this?

I had a Sansa e250 that broke after much use so I bought a Fuze because of Sandisk's usability. I like the fact that you can toggle the Play/Pause right from the main menu. The jog dial is steady and the buttons are very responsive. It uses my 2gb microSD card perfectly and I can easily drag and drop my music onto it.
I recommend this player to anyone who wants quality sound at a good price while not being worried about fitting their whole music library on the device.

I purchased this item to replace a previous MP3 player that died. I primarily use it for listening to podcasts. The one feature that I love in this player is the ability to resume a podcast from where you last paused. What they dont tell you, is you can do this with a number of podcasts. Sometimes I have a few podcasts that are only partially completed and want to listen to something else. Its great, I just leave that one and come back later and pick up right where I left off.

This little device is a high quality and very easy to use 'MP3' player. Of course it does more than just play music. From a usability perspective, I think it rivals the iPod interface and provides more feedback. While I really love the device, there are some things that I wish were a little better.
Pros
----
- Very nice screen and just big enough that if you were stuck on a plane, watching a movie still is an enjoyable experience.
- Simple and very intuitive interface. I love the fact that the iPod-like wheel actually rotates.
- Expansion via MicroSD cards is a great feature. I was able to swap the MicroSD card between my BlackBerry and the Fuze and be able to share images, and music.
- The FM Radio and ability to record from it is one of the coolest features. There's something about the randomness about radio that I still really like. And the ability to record a song that I don't already have can save you some money.
- I haven't used the external mic yet, but I think that's a neat

1. Charges with PS3 USB and cable provided 2. PS3 recognizes it beautifully and you can add/edit mp3s through the PS3 3. FM tuner works great and you can record the FM broadcasts 4. GET THE 4GB OR 8GB!!! Overall great player for PS3 owners as I have all my cds loaded on my 250GB hard drive and can swap out songs with ease. Even with the option of an 8GB microSD card available (might be grabbing one of these soon), I still wish I would have bought the 4GB instead of the 2GB...

This player has really just become available. I ordered thru an Amazon seller, before it became available. Shipping was a little higher. But I wanted it right away. This thing is a perfect size, but beware..little if any accessories exist for it at the moment. I am sure this will change. A skin would be nice to protect the front face..which is very attractive to scratching. The thumb wheel works great, and I have big thumbs. All the menus are easily accessible and it syncs with Windows Media
Player 11 quickly and easily. I have mostly older CD's that I wanted to rip to file and then sync. Most all of the cover art was available with WMP11 and it rolled seamlessly into the Fuze. Several view modes while playing , one with the EQ, one with the cover art enlarged, one with time of song and time left etc;. Screen is big enough to suit my needs and it plays very well through the aux jack in my car. Battery seems to last longer than some. I would say the only drawback is that this battery is
