SanDisk Sansa e260 (4 GB) MP3 Player

Pros: We like the ease of use, navigation, sound quality.
Cons: Doesn't play videos, often loses tracks, problems with Rhapsody file management, poor support.

When it comes to MP3 players, I’ve been through my share over the years. One of the things I love to do most on a beautiful day is go for a long walk, soaking up the rays to the beat of my favorite musique du jour; and MP3 players certainly ...

Pros: Affordable, and MORE options than the iPod Nano
Cons: I really haven't found any

Now that the holiday season is over, I have had some time to play with the newest MP3 Player to join our family. My son had asked for an iPod for Christmas, and while I did my comparison shopping, I found that the SanDisk Sansa e260 was a better deal. ...

Pros: Competitively priced - Feature rich - Good sound - Compact
Cons: Some glaring problems and oversights (See review)

UPDATE June 24 2008 - My initial review of this player was quite positive. However, after I'd owned it for a while, I plugged in the cable one day and Windows informed me that it was unable to connect to the device. I tried everything ...

Pros: Large screen, awesome MiniSD slot, has a lot of potential.
Cons: Controls from hell, Derivative styling, dead DRM scheme

Now that the iPod has become commonplace, the contrarians among us have been looking for a way to stand out. So far, it's been slim pickings- most iPod alternatives prove to add a few new features (FM Tuner) , or perhaps a lower price, but end up feeling ...

Pros: Sound quality, FM tuner, video playback, great tech support, sleek look and design.
Cons: Navigation is a bit awkward at first

Update 8/19/06 Okay, so after some extensive use I realized a few problems/comments that I feel I should tell you. Sure the Sansa has a scratch-protective back...but the screen scratches so darn easily! I mean most of the scratches aren't ...

Pros: Elegant, sturdy, intuitive - great sound.
Cons: Not compatible with iPod / iTunes.

Note – I have written a similar review on the 2GB version of this mp3 player. There are similarities in my opinion, but I have throughly revised and updated the review based on my experiences with the 4GB version. I note that I bought the 4GB version ...

Pros: Plays music/video, quick file transfers, can record from FM tuner, expandable and flexible
Cons: 12-second startup; don't break the screen!

Recently, I decided to upgrade my MP3 player from the Sansa m240 that I had been using (I reviewed it last year--"Impressive little package" was the title of that review) to something bigger and better. I stuck with SanDisk for two reasons: One, the ...

Pros: - low in price - video playback - great sound quality and recording
Cons: - storage estimate is really off (only 3.7 GB) - cover album art goes missing

I have had the SanDisk Sansa e260R for about a month now. This is my first MP3 player, and I mostly purchased this one to use when I travel. So far, there are many pros and cons attached to this player. I'll start with the good. The unit is very small ...

Pros: Small Lots of memory Expandable Lots of options
Cons: Lack of playlist options Proprietary cable Colour selection Charging via usb

I was in the market for a new MP3 player. On the suggestion from my friend I decided to take a chance with the Sansa, he stressed how it was comparable to the Nano at a lower price. I purchased this off ebay and got a really good price on it. I ...

Pros: Affordable Compact size Great sound Easy to use Battery life
Cons: Screen seems small for videos Small buttons Can’t delete files straight off the player

I recently decided to join the 21st century and purchase an mp3 player. Not being one to rush into things, I hunted high and low for an affordable, but not cheaply made player. Along the way, several friends recommended the Sansa e200 series. Again, ...

Pros: Expansion slot, Size, tons of features, works with MS Media Player
Cons: Easy to accidental record voice, lack accessories, no wall charger

Bought this originally for my father(70 years old) because it works easily with MS Media Player(MP) 11. Finding a player that takes MP is extremely important to me because I have been teaching my dad on how to "rip" and "burn" disk for the past year and ...

Pros: A durable and overall high quality player
Cons: This player doesn't work with the Amazon Video service.

This music player is a good choice for anyone looking for a player but doesn't want to pay too much for one. One thing that isn't so great about it is that there are two different USB modes. As a result, some songs won't go on while one mode is engaged ...

Pros: -cheap –small design –good sound
Cons: -Insufficient documentation on using device with WMP –only one playlist

Not that great Someone gave this to me as a present because I am anti-iPod. I do not like the iPod because it is very restrictive on the transfer of files to and from a PC and other devices; I wanted something less proprietary that would allow me to ...

Pros: Expandable lots of memory, color screen, video, FM Radio
Cons: Easy to accidental record voice and no wall charger

My brother has an IPOD Nano and when I first used it, I almost broke the thing. The Sansa player was really well thought out and is very easy to use and I have had no problems since I got it. I highly recommend it to anyone thinking about an purchasing ...

Pros: The price was cheaper, but you get what you pay for. Had nice sound.
Cons: Poor costumer service. Cheap display screens. Buttons and control wheel difficult to use.

I bought two Sansa e260's for my older sons at Christmas last year. Within 2 months, the screens on both were broken and the displays unreadable. The players are still working, but if you can't read the screen, what good are they? So here's the ...
