SanDisk Sansa e280 8 GB MP3 Player (Black)

I've immensely enjoyed the Sansa. It replaced a rio carbon that died which I had for years. I liked the carbon but this Sansa is light years ahead of it. I use the Sansa almost exclusively for listening to music. It holds a lot for it's size and I've also added the 2 gig micro disc to increase the capacity even more. It syncs up well with my Windows media player and it virtually never crashes (alas the poor carbon crashed fairly regularly). Great value in my opinion; no real complaints.

i bought this as an upgrade from my first sansa which only held 300 songs but since i never had one before it was fine for my first one. This one has everything i could want and the price was right i would say BUY ONE!

This is a great product. I listen to audio books and to make it really work with them you need to download the firmware update from the manufacturer. Have heart; it is worth it. Now that I have my player updated it is GREAT!

This product does not work with Windows XP. It crashes all of the media plans (Windows Media Player, WINAMP,...). So there is no way to synchronize your play lists. There are a lot of complaints on the Sansa forums about this, but Sansa support ignores customers. I am repeating this review for the same players with different memory sizes, hopefully to help some poor person that buys this thing.

This is the second Sandisk Sansa e280 that I have purchased. Obviously I liked the first one enough to buy another one, this one for my wife. Her I-pod shuffle battery died after limited use and while my Sansa player was going strong after 1.5 years of use. We use them while excersizing, so I wanted a ram based player. It is a great little music player, and that's all I use it for. Start up was uncomplicated, plug it into the usb port, charge it up and it was ready to go. The software is easy to use. Once you have music on your computer you can drag and drop, or copy and paste, to load the unit with music. The earbuds it comes with are just okay, add a better set of headphones and the quality of the music is great. It holds plenty of music, even at lossless quality levels. We don't all have to have I-pods!
