Although it's a bit larger than other SanDisk products, the Sansa Fuze+ has a good sleek look to it. Because of the size, the screen info is much easier to read. Sound quality is on par with other Sansa products (I've had the e260, the Clip+, and the Clip Zip). I wish it had actual buttons to switch between songs and to pause the playback; I haven't found a happy medium yet for the sensitivity of the touchpad. I also wish it had a clip, but I'm getting accessories to take care of that.

To be clear before I get started, this was my third Sansa MP3 player and I prefer them over any other brand. However the controls of this newer Sansa are a definite deprovement from my old player. The old rotary wheel allowed what I call "no look" operation. With this unit I could pretty much do everything in complete darkness, strapped to my upper arm or in my pocket. The new design eliminates that "no look" capability. I don't know what the Sansa designers were going for with this new design but in my view they missed the mark. My plan is to sell the new unit taking a loss and go shopping for another player with a more tactile feel. Sorry Sansa.

This is an good mp3 player, and is one of the better non-ipod ones. The sound quality is decent, and storage can be upgraded to up to a 32 gig micro sd card. Meaning that 4 gig player can be a 36 gig player. However, the sd card feature is where the problem lies. If you use a large sd card, the mp3 player takes an eternity to load up, and song selection becomes impossible. The tab for song selection is two over from the start, and the player doesn't respond well enough to get it to load that tab in time for song selection. It frequently acts like you didn't press anything, and resumes playing what was last played. It works great off system memory, but not so much on a large micro sd card. Maybe if you expand it with a 4-8 gig one, it'd be ok, but not a 32.

Bought this product as I had a Sansa clip; great upgrade! Controls are hard to get used to, and submenus for music are like an impossible maze (3 weeks of ownership). Battery life is insanely amazing. Also, there was a firmware glitch that caused voice and fm recording blips, this can be solved by changing firmware (google it). I like the fact that you can add memory to it too. Mainly bought it as a music player, but the fact that it can do video and photos is awesome. I recommend buying a good case for this as it can get scratched easily due to its interface
This is definitely worth the buy... I came from using the first generation Sansa Fuze which has been a blast and perfect for those looking for an mp3 player without all the hype. The only thing that takes getting used too is the flat surface buttons used to navigate throughout the mp3 player itself.. Its touch sensitive isn't soooo sensitive which isn't really a downside considering how many touchscreens have the problem of being too sensitive... The only reason why I am mentioning it is because its kind of a step down from the navigation wheel from the first onew in my opinion... Other than that.. If you don't need all the hype that comes with the Ipod.... This is the best thing!!!!!!!!!
