SanDisk Sansa m260 (4 GB) MP3 Player

Pros: Strong capacity with Flash-based stability
Cons: Setting up playlists requires WMP 10; not clearly explained in directions

If you have read my reviews religiously (yeah, right!) you know that a while ago I was given a 1 GB SanDisk SDMX1 media player for my use. You will also know that I subsequently lost it on an airplane trip, requiring ...

Pros: Easy to use with Windows Media Player, uses a conventional AAA battery, FM tuner
Cons: No "iPod" bragging rights, no color screen, can't play video games

It’s interesting how prolific Apple’s iPod players have become. Indeed, if you walk into any major electronics retailer, you may be overwhelmed by the amount of real estate dedicated to iPods. Go online and you’ll find an iPod cafe for ...

Pros: Easy to use, sounds OK, small.
Cons: Shipped with a software bug, SanDisk unwilling to correct issue.

I received this MP3 player for Christmas of 06, and have experienced a flaw in it's design that is well documented with it's user base. I will simply paste an explanation of the problem I found. "There is a known issue regarding these players’ ...

Pros: Big flash based memory Replaceable battery Doubles as a jump or thumb drive
Cons: Takes about 30 sec. to load at start up Included headphones died 1 month in

If you are looking for a decent MP3 player and don't want to spend a lot of money, this is the one. I got a great web only deal on it at circuitcity.com (at least 25% less than the in store price). I really can't say enough about this player. It has room ...

Pros: Good battery availability, good battery life, easy to sync with Windows Media Player, great capacity
Cons: On/off controls are poor and only one playlist of 30 songs is allowed

The Sansa m260 has a lot of great features, but one killer negative. You can create only one playlist! Imagine that you have 1500 songs on this thing, many albums and many singles. Well, forget hearing most of the singles because you only get one ...

Pros: Does not suck batteries dry, great sound.
Cons: Odd shape

I had read some good things about Sandisk's Sansa 4GB player, so I gave it a shot. It is a very handy player, a nice compact size, but not so small you lose it in your pocket, it has great battery life, the earbuds put off a nice sound, and the included accessories are nice. I am hearing incredible sound with this player.
