bang for your buck
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
First day using it, right out of the package I hooked it up to my computer and had songs on it within minutes. For the price of this item these days, you cant go incorrect. Ive read numerous terrible reviews on this item and I cant tell you how picky those people are.

For under $30.00 bucks you get a simple,quick mp3 player AND FM radio…which i am listening to right now with considerably excellent reception.

The music playback is excellent, I mean…I didn’t spend a couple hundred bucks here so I can only expect it to just play music, and it does it well.

Also went for a run/hike today, fits comfortably in your pocket, It is not heavy at all , earphones fit well and snug.

Basically…You should buy this, its worth the buckage.

a excellent player until they die for no reason
Rating:3 out of 5 stars
We’ve had three of these players in different memory sizes over the yrs. I really want to like them because they’re fantastic players, especially for the $, but only when they choose to work- they are certainly NOT reliable. The ~5 yr ancient original 512mb one we have is still going although it will occasionally get flakey and not fire up unless you remove the batteries and then you can place the same back in and it’ll work. And then it will sometimes have no sound output and fix itself after a few minutes (it’s not the earbuds). I had a 1gb one that, for no reason, died after about a month of use- it wasn’t dropped. It will turn on but it will not allow you to see it via PC and it will not play- just fires up and “idles”. The latest, a 2gb, has music loaded, and plays, but it will no longer let you see it via PC to add more songs. It is not full.

In small, this could be a fantastic player, especially for the $, but they certainly have major hardware issues.

not a problem

This is my 1st. Mp3 player. I ordered it because it is one of 4 models left in the world that still use regular batteries.I’am ancient school 49 yrs.It was time to bury the portable cd player.People want so much,all the bells and whistles with everything they buy,just to break down on them soon after.$$$ down the toilet.All i wanted was something with excellent sound and 1/8 the size of a CD player.I received this simple as 1,2,3 mp3 player, (I HAVE VISTA)DID NOT have to insert the CD instructions, Just plugged it in the back of the computer, windows media opened up, and I dragged 30 songs(at a time) over to the right download box, and downloaded 420 CD Quality songs from my CD collection that was already on the computer.And of course it will download your mp3 music left in windows media also.I did not worry about a play list.If I didn’t want to hear a certain song, I just pressed the forward arrows, or reverse if I wanted to hear it again.Since I only have the songs on there I like to hear at anytime, who needs a play list?The sound is quite loud, and is CD quality.I’am a pleased camper!

Worth the money!

The SanDisk Sansa m250 2 GB MP3 Player is a fantastic small mp3 player. It’s simple to use, compact, and even comes with an arm holster so you can wear it while exercising. I bought this MP3 player recently and use it primarily in my car to listen to music as I’m on the go. My only complaint is that it seems to eat up the batteries rather quickly. Other than that, no problems at all!

Fantastic product
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
I have had the Sandisk for about two years, liked it so well I gave one to my grandson. Unfortunatelly he lost his and I bought him another to replace it. It is simple to use, holds lots of songs especially in th WMA format. Batteries last a long time and the sound quality is brilliant. Would recomment for anyone especially at this price.

The device works very well. The menu navigation is a bit hard to figure out, but for the price, it’s a fantastic deal!

It worked fantastic for about 2 years, but died on me last week. I did use it quite a bit without any complaints. I can not recommend it for long term durability, but.

fantastic low cost MP3 player
Rating:4 out of 5 stars
I have two of these players and have bought two as gifts. I was surprised at the sound quality for the price. It does not have a color screen or fancy do dads. What it does have is an simple to use interface and plenty of extra features like an equalizer, FM radio, and customizable settings.

The only downside is the durability of the housing. This will not stand up to much abuse. I’ve had mine for a year + now though and have not had any distress.

The major deciding factor for my buy (besides price) was that it is powered by a AA battery. These are simple to buy, carry and change out. I did not want a player that had to be charged at a computer or special dock. I have been very pleased with this player.

Fantastic product!!! Wish SanDisk still made it.

Very adequate storage for audio books or music. Replaceable AAA battery is best feature if you are traveling or away from a computer for USB charge in most current MP3 players. Price makes it a real value.

Fantastic small MP3 player
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
I bought this to see if I would like all of the MP3 things. Well, this small player is fantastic for someone starting out with them, although I can’t figure out how to delete files. But, this has everything the more expensive 2 GB players have (Except the video, but for $30.00, you can’t go incorrect)Now the only problem I have is how to transfer the files to another player that I bought that has more space and video.
