SanDisk 256MB MP3 Player

Strengths: MP3 player, voice recorder, and FM radio, all for ~50 bucks! Great sound quality, small and light weight. Cool LCD display and fast data transfer. Intuitive OS and many options. Comfortable armband.

Weakness: Could not hold external memory card. Battery cover difficult to open. USB port cover seems fragile. Plastic exterior and red color makes it appear weak and cheap. Poor user manual. Tiny joystick.

I got it from Circuit City for $50 after rebate on Black Friday 2004, which is definitely a bargain price for such a great product. One will not be able to find anything at this price range even approaching the quality and features of this product: 256 MB built-in memory, backlit LCD Display, FM tuner, voice recorder, with carrying pouch and earbuds. I have to say that this Sandisk model does...

SanDisk 256MB MP3 Player

Strengths: It records plenty of music easily and has great quality playback. It's perfect for my needs when working out.

Weakness: None I see at this time

This is the perfect item for those people that enjoy listening to music while exercising. It is small and compact and doesn't skip like personal CD players do. It's so lightweight you forget you're carrying anything with you. It holds enough music that you're not constantly listening to the same song unless you want to. It's a great item to have and I'd recommend it, especially for the price...

SanDisk 256MB MP3 Player

Strengths: small and great sound and quality

Weakness: occasionly freezes up, battery case is hard to open

This mp3 player is my first and i love it!!! I highly suggest buying this. It feels like it is cheaply made because of how small it is but it is very durable. I know this because i have dropped it multiple times. It is small, lightweight, has a FM radio that works great, voice recorder that also works great, large screen, great armband and clear case. The ear buds are very comfortable to wear but...

SanDisk 256MB MP3 Player

Strengths: Right size, built in FM tuner, good size memory for the the perfect work out.

Weakness: battery cover a little difficult.

Really good item. Not only use for the radio & mp3/wma player, but also holds data as well. This does use the USB 2.0 (unlike 1.0 like I have seen on quite a few models). Would get as gift.

SanDisk 256MB MP3 Player

Strengths: Size and Sound quality

Weakness: Battery cover is hard to open.

I bought this for my niece from one of the Pricegrabber vendors. I looked at several other products but thought this was the best value for the money. Other similar products are in the $100's. I love it and I am seriously thinking about getting one for myself. The size and quality are awsome!

SanDisk 256MB MP3 Player

Strengths: Great Price. Tiny Size packed with function... mps & wav player, fm-radio, and voice recorder.

Weakness: Flash cannot be upgraded. Sandisk online tech help is weak.

I bought my sandisk 256kb dap at the Circuit City black friday sale for $50 after rebate...and find it to be packed with function for the price. I like the voice recorder function, as I will find this a handy device when taking digital pictures, so I can remember details of a shot. I loaded my dap with wav files (for longer play time then mp3 would provide). The sound is good, and the size so...

SanDisk 256MB MP3 Player

Strengths: Very small, very light, joystick is easy to use, screen is very bright, fast transer, built in voice recorder, built in FM tuner, good sound quality, good battery life, easy to use.

Weakness: Got glitchy when I tried second level directories, adds random letters to files when displayed (such as .mp3c and Metroid Primee, doesn't effect functionality however)

This is my first MP3 player and I absolutely love it. It is very small and light, but still works very well. Doesn't seem extremely durable, but I'm not wanting to test it out... The firmware that comes with it (only version so far that I know of) is slightly glitchy (as mentioned in weaknesses) but other then that works very well. Once you learn how (contrary to popular belief, it DOES come with...

SanDisk 256MB MP3 Player

Strengths: Good price,pretty appearance,light, small, with a lot of functions: MP3,FW radio,voice recorder... good sound quality!

Weakness: Poor directions, have to figure out the functions by yourself. Language compatibility is limited.

I really love this little MP3 player I just recently got from ecost.com by $71. It is a good price, especially when you compare it with other similar products. Besides as a MP3 player, it has many other functions. I especially like the FW radio, so I can tune in my favorite radio programme whenever I want. The voice recorder function is very useful too, I can record the important things I want to...

SanDisk 256MB Digital Audio Player

Strengths: Size, controls

Weakness: fade-in/out, no fast forward or reverse, screen format

This is a handy device and works well. It is small and easy to carry in a pocket or on an arm with the included velcro elastic strap. The controls are easy to use even with gloves in the winter so it make a great device to take skiing. On the down side, it fades in at the beginning of each track and fades out at the end. When I use this to listen to audio books, I lose the first few words at the...

SanDisk 256MB MP3 Player

Strengths: Very portable and lightweight

Weakness: Storage

Fantastic purchase. Easy to carry and use. Only problem is the amount of storage, but for the price it is an excellent purchase. I would definitely recommend this product to all my friends and family.
