SanDisk Sansa e250 2GB MP3 Player

...

see it in Rhapsody, still, after disconnecting, reconnecting, etc. What do I do now Ms. Help Desk? Try it on another computer, she says. Nice.:(
4) After several hours Googling this problem, reading at forums, trying other stuff, I finally hit upon a "Music Manager" that works!!! Yay! So, I hope you might save some of the time I wasted with trying to make Rhapsody work and waiting for SanDisk to get back to me, etc, etc. Go to the Media Monkey site [...] and try out this terrific piece of freeware that (for me, at least) works very well. I still have to address the "playlist" hurdle but I'll leave that for the morning.

I'm satisfied with the player, sound, price, replaceable battery. But until I found Media Monkey, I was planning to return it to Amazon in the morning. (Honestly, if I knew then what I know now, I'd have bought another nano because iTunes is pretty easy.)

record all the funny things my friends have said. -I love how it has an actual power button! Press it once really quick and it returns you to the main menu. Hold it for a few seconds and the player turns off. Cons: -For such a small Mp3 Player...it's kinda heavy. -It's a bit on the fat side for a Mp3 Player. -The metal back IS for protection, but I've found that it's very slippery and I've even dropped it a few times because of it. -The screen is EXTREMELY prone to scratching. Mine is covered in scratches. I suggest buying either a 'bulletproof cover', or a case for the player. -For some reason, my e250 stopped reading my MicroSD card. I'm not sure why...my computer can read it just fine. But this seriously ticked me off and is the main reason why I'm giving it a 4. -Sometimes the wheel lags when you turn it by a split second. Not a major problem, but can be an annoyance when you're trying to look through songs really fast. -Sometimes you just don't want the wheel to glow blue when upping the volume. There is no way to turn off the light, and there have been times when I wanted to. Not a major problem-but it can be annoying. Neutral: -The screen is a simple blue/light blue. I actually like the simplicity of the screen, while others may not. -It comes with an USB charger. I don't mind this, while others might want to buy themselves a wall adapter. -The headphone jack is on top of the player. Not really a pro or a con, but I like having the jack on top instead of bottom. I bought this Mp3 Player for listening to music. I only have one movie on it from my camera and it plays okay. You CAN watch movies on this, but it's main use is for music. It's lasted me well the past two years, but I'm giving it to my brother and getting a Sansa Fuze due to the fact that 2GB just isn't enough space for me. I would reccomend this Mp3 Player to anyone who wants a durable and long lasting MUSIC player. If you're looking for a movie player, you'll probably want to look at some other players.

the default boot file onto the unit and brought it up into regular Sansa mode. I then reinstalled Rockbox and it went in like a charm. I would expect that this is a rare occurrence since I haven't seen any posts about this happening to others. I loaded a couple of books onto the unit and updated the media database. It immediately worked and let me move through the files and find the file I had been listening to on another player. I like the dial control somewhat better than the one on my daughter's iPod though that may be a personal preference. The tactile feedback as you scroll the mechanical wheel just feels right to me. The plugins folder had a number of games on it that were okay but the controls of the player really don't lend themselves to gaming. I copied an MPEG movie over to the player and it played smoothly, though with the small screen it isn't a super impressive presentation. I took the unit on a 12+ hour car trip and the battery held the entire time and several more hours during that week. I am seeing battery life of something like 15-16 hours per charge. Note that while Rockbox enables the use of additional memory cards of more than 2GB you can't upload to the larger card via Windows. You need to put the card into a card reader on your PC and download the content that way. I was using a 4GB microSD card but swapped it for a 2GB card in the player (I use the larger card in my camera now). I don't have to worry with removing the extra memory to load it with media content and I really don't miss the extra space. For the price I paid for this player ($35) it's a real bargain. It does everything I want it to do and then some, especially with Rockbox. The standard firmware from Sansa is serviceable for most users who just want to plug it in and go and don't care about the larger memory options. I also picked up a sports arm band and case for this unit for under 5 bucks including shipping.

The plugins folder had a number of games on it that were okay but the controls of the player really don't lend themselves to gaming. I copied an MPEG movie over to the player and it played smoothly, though with the small screen it isn't a super impressive presentation. I took the unit on a 12+ hour car trip and the battery held the entire time and several more hours during that week. I am seeing battery life of something like 15-16 hours per charge. Note that while Rockbox enables the use of additional memory cards of more than 2GB you can't upload to the larger card via Windows. You need to put the card into a card reader on your PC and download the content that way. I was using a 4GB microSD card but swapped it for a 2GB card in the player (I use the larger card in my camera now). I don't have to worry with removing the extra memory to load it with media content and I really don't miss the extra space. For the price I paid for this player ($35) it's a real bargain. It does everything I want it to do and then some, especially with Rockbox. The standard firmware from Sansa is serviceable for most users who just want to plug it in and go and don't care about the larger memory options. I also picked up a sports arm band and case for this unit for under 5 bucks including shipping.

Protocol) mode, otherwise the playlist will end in the root directory of your player instead of the music folder.
- When playing, instead of looking for the first song, look for the playlist name in music menu of your Sansa e200.

You can have multiple Play-lists in the player (don't know if there is a limit). You can also transfer individual songs from Winamp by right-clicking on the song and following the same "send to" procedure. And you can still play ALL your music in shuffle mode from the music menu of the player if you get bored with the order of the playlists.

Overall I'm extremely satisfied with the player and its compatibility with Winamp. On top of the usual Media player, rhapsody. And not having to use iTunes makes me REALLY HAPPY!

was that they were providing a fix, like drugging their customers to get them hooked, let 'em keep coming back for more. They came upon and then cornered a market in the neccessary progression aurally (like the first makers of CDs or DVDs while everyone else is tapes and VHS) and, as far as customer service, and their side of the transaction, they did a screw job.

Now to SanDisk. This is a quality item I would endorse over the iPod according to its merit...

1) Possible to upgrade with the expansion slot

2) If the battery drops out on you (which it will, this is how consumerism is, a la cars and making a lesser quality product so the consumer will have to spend more, blahblah sick cycle) one can replace it

3) For me it really comes down to having bought 2 iPods and being treated like a number, a profit margin or a training telemarketing and phone centers to refer to section 13 sanction g) when dealing with an irrate consumer, er, customers complaints, be repetitive and condescending till they hang up; or SanDisk, which in 4 months has been no problem, CHEAPER, and better than the iPod, like an improvement, just read other reviews and you will see that this experience resembles a lot of other frustrations over this, and the bottomline is that other companies have to bend over to try and solict customers who are eating up the Apple (yeah, I know, terrible reference with the Apple, so what...).

Apple + thumbs down to the power of screwjob = go ahead and be a sucker if you want to 'consume'

SanDisk with a variable of whether or not I need to vent in 8 months because SanDisk did not cook my eggs right (overhard on Wednesdays) I change this review denouncing them, too, but right now I'm satisfied, eating eggs.
