SanDisk Sansa e280 8 GB MP3 Player (Black)

I cannot believe that this unit, which I have had for 2-3 yrs and love, somehow ended up in my pillow case. When my new lop ear bunny piddled on the pillow, the whole thing went into the wash unbenownst to me...my trusty player was wrapped up inside. I took it out of the washer teary eyed and placed it on the radiator in my sons room. My hubby thought it may still work, I had no hope. A month later tonite I saw it and decided to hook it up to the cable to charge it, and to my utter disbelief, it lit up right away and seems to still have energy and all the music etc on there. AMAZING if you ask me. The thing that may have saved it was the pink silicone case I have on it to distinguish it from my sons. I am in awe.

BUT i love the player and got my sons as refubished lst summer. Great deal and great unit at any price really

I love my Sansa E280. I purchased a refurbished unit from "Retail Killers" on Amzon. It was a bargain at $53.00. It's easy to transfer music to it using Windows File Folders, I just copy & paste. I recommend buying a screen protector for it, this will ensure the screen isn't scratched. I use it on long bike rides & the internal battery has lasted 5+ hours on one charge. I also recommend storing it in a protective case or membrane, this will prolonge the device's life. Sandisk's customer support is excellent & you'll be able to speak to a live person, the number is on the Sandisk web site. The site is also usefull for instructions & software updates for your device. WARNING!!! Not all Sansa Micro SD cards work in all Sansa products. Find the model & generation number of your device, contact Sansa support & ask them what card is right for your device. I highly recommend.

While I love this thing and use it freely at the gym, at home, on long road trips and such, there are a few things that are annoying but not enoying enough for me to dislike it. For some reason whenever I connect it to my CPU to recharge, it erases my golists, however I believe if u create your own playlists in your computer it will copy them and keep them in your playlists menu. Sometimes it freezes up for a couple seconds, but again, not a bid deal whatsoever. I would appreciate a quicker way to add songs to a golist, or multiple playlists without use of my computer. Has it is u have to play a song, hold down the circle and wait for it to be added one by one to the golist, which gets erased anyway. Pherhaps charging by the AC adapter would get rid of this problem, but really, you shouldn't have to do that.
But thats it, everything works fine. I have not used the video option yet or used it to store images, even though it likes to copy all my images on my camera through windows media player when I hook it up to charge, until I stop it. My main goal was music and a cheaper altenrative to a Ipod.

This is my first MP3 player, it is better than I tought it would be. Bought it refurbished and what a great deal! 5 Stars!

Great book for the basics, Great Service!! Bought for my boy and he love's it, easy to use!!
