"Does Not Play Tracks In Order" on by ryandv
Pros: The price is great, lots of storage space, voice recording, fm radio, subscription capability
Cons: Does not play tracks in the order they appear on albums, no usb cover, cheep feel to it.
Summary: The largest dissapointment I have with the unit is that it does not play tracks from albums in the proper order. Instead it plays them in alphabetical order. I prefer to listen to albums in the way artists created them.
I called Sandisk and was told to put the track number at the start song title to have them played in the correct order. Obviously that would be ALOT of work to do that for the over 1000 songs in my library.
Sandisk told me they were aware of the issue and that they were working on a firmware update. -
"The scroll wheel is dead! I DEFINITELY recommend this player." on by alpainter
Pros: size,storage, ease of use, sound quality, price, battery life, great customer service, NOT AN iPod, flash memory for exercise jarring, playlists on the fly,FM reception pretty good, very durable
Cons: setting up playlists can be a little finicky, other than that, NOTHING!
Summary: I already had the 1GB m240, and loved it. Putting music on it is a breeze, especially if you've got WMP 10. Playlists are really easy to create with WMP 10, or any subscription service of your choice. The controls are really easy to get to and use. I like the fact there are seperate volume, power, music selection controls. I had an iPod Mini for about an hour, and HATED it. The scroll wheel is dumb. I returned the player the day I got it for something else.
The only reason I got this one is for 3GB's of additional memory. Sandisk has knocked one out of the yard with this player, and hopefully they'll begin to take a bite out of Apple.
There was an m200 series player featured in the latest Best Buy commercial, and oddly enough, NO STUPID iPod. If you don't want to jump on the Apple bandwagon, this will be a great little player that will be very good to you.
I've dropped the m240, crashed on my mountain bike, and abused it working out, and it came through unscathed each time! It doesn't feel like much, but to quote the immortal Han Solo:
"She may not look like much, but she's got it where it counts kid." -
"$179 for 4GB Player" on by Sven_32
Pros: Price, Memory, Size
Cons: Flimsy battery cover, headphones
Summary: Just got the new player from Circuit City. The only bad part is the battery cover that is very loose and comes off way too easy. It’s wiggling around and does not fir right. The headphones is a personal preference, I prefer the ones that came with the sansa e130.

"4GB MP3 for $80" on by densoo
Pros: Small, cheap, little to lose
Cons: Small, cheap, but lost little
Summary: If you order online at Circuit City it costs just $160 rather than $200 in-store. You can then select in-store pickup and get it same day for the same price. Make sure there is blue tag on top of the product that say $80 rebate from Rhapsody. Work through the $80 rebate form online and this MP3 player is effectively $80. This is, of course, if you already have or already had planned on subscribing to Rhapsody, which I had. I called customer support and they cancelled my current subscription, then I re-subscribed for six months (as required for the rebate). If you don't have or plan to get Rhapsody, $160 is still cheap for 4GB flash memory.
