 Awesome mp3 player January 7, 2009
I really wanted a cute, reliable, durable, and reasonably priced mp3 player with a long battery life and enough space to have a good collection of songs. And I hate iPods.
The Sansa Fuze has been perfect.
I bought a silicone skin cover and a screen protector at the same time as I ordered the player because I heard from other reviewers that the screen scratches really easily. They were definitely worth it; it doesn't have any problems despite being dropped several times and being buried under things in my bag.
The screen display is really bright and clear and the player is really easy to use. It is a bit annoying when you want to get to a song or artist near the end of a long list because there's no way of searching besides scrolling down (as far as I know) but as that's my only real complaint I can deal with it!
It was a gift for my wife for Christmas. She likes it so far. January 6, 2009
It was a gift for my wife for Christmas. She likes it so far. She has a ton of songs on it already. I had to buy the cable to hook the player to her vehicle which was only $10.
 Sansa Fuze - Worthless in terms of use January 6, 2009
This product sucks!! Really hard to organize songs and even if I were successful, the damn thing reorganizes itself.. Crashes multiple times in between.. Wanted to try out a cheaper option to Apple and was drawn by the expandable memory, but guess what, its not been tested all that well...
And the sole great thing of all previous Sandisk products, their ability to act as a flash drive.. Not anymore.. This thing acts weirdly and most of the time wants to synchronize via Windows Media Player, for god's sake, WMP... ITunes is way better, even if it is a pain int he wrong place...
Apple rules and I was just foolish enough to be drawn into this cheap imitation.. Sandisk's 2 GB Old school was way better (Atleast it worked well as a flash drive)...Don't even want to get into the sound quality!!
Go fish, Sansa/Sandisk/Fuze/Whatever...You sure up for doomsday..
Forget the iPod!!! January 6, 2009
To all those who are looking for a great mp3 player, the Sansa Fuze line is the best! This is my second Fuze; my first one was the 4GB and I put a 4GB memory card in it, which gave it lots of room for everything I wanted to load into it...including a video and a slide show of my favorite pics! It was greatly admired by a friend so I cleaned out my stuff, added her music and pics, and gave it away as a gift, then bought myself this great 8GB Fuze! With the 8GB card I got for it, I've got 16GB of storage for a great price. One feature I like about it is the FM tuner...when I want more variety of music or want to listen to the news, I just switch to the radio! Easy to load music, whatever you can load into Windows Media (or any other music software you might be partial to) can be easily loaded into the Fuze...just drag and drop. I've worked with the iPod and iTunes before and the Sansa Fuze beats it all! Even the rubberized back of the Fuze is great, it can sit on my desk and not slide off and crash to the floor when I move around and forget about the earbuds in my ears! Also has a voice recorder, which I use for "memos to me" and shopping lists. The micro SD memory card slot lets you load content onto different cards and switch them around. The screen is bright, the thumbwheel is easy to use...who needs an iPod, I've got a FUZE!
Bomb Diggity Mp3 Player January 6, 2009
Okay, it's not an iPod...but it is what it is. I bought this mp3 player on sale, so maybe that made it a great deal. However, it is usually priced much lower than the iPod and still retains many of the same features plus more!
Sansa made a wise decision when they included a MicroSD port as perhaps the best extra feature for their mp3 players. You can easily double or triple your data capacity and interchange cards that hold different movies or play lists. Does iPod offer that? NO, but probably in the future they will have something similar.
Other pluses include the radio tuner, so you can catch the news or emergency weather information. I thought the voice recorder option was pretty cool as well.
I'd say one of the drawbacks is the interface or software running on the Sansa mp3 players. They are fairly easy to use, and similar to iPod functionality, but I feel it could be better. With the ability of the Fuze, I think Sansa could have offered a better looking interface and perhaps the function of video games. However, there is the option of RockBox...
Looks are definitely not everything, Sansa mp3 players pack quite a punch for the size and price. For those of you that do care about looks, it has a very sleek designed case and the circular LED back light is pretty cool.
