These things are tanks. Almost indestructible. My first one has finally died after 10 years, of abuse, including being shut in a car door, and dropped in a parking lot (plus NUMEROUS drops on my basement floor while exercising). Bought 3 other types of mp3s to replace it, after the car door incident. It outlasted all of them. Super easy to use, and read. This current purchase was my third one, as I like to have a backup unit. No, it doesn't blue tooth, or any of that stuff, but it will be here and useable after the apocalypse, I'm sure.

As a used product. it had some major flaws in it's function - would not skip forward appropriately, and would display the tracks in what was to me using an Asian font (Chinese?). Deleting files is so time-consuming, Wish they'd all been deleted before it's sent to me. Actually, I use a mini USB chip, which, when inserted into a computer, follows the normal Windows system of adding and deleting files. So, why am I using such an old model? Because, of course, I'm familiar with the operation (I've used this model for over 20 years,) and the design does not make the operation assumptions that have been built into the newer models. In fact, at the California Sansa office, one of the employees confided to me that they thought that this was the best model Sansa had made.

The Fuze is SanDisks answer to the Ipod Nano, so my snapshot review would compare the two. The Fuze has most of the same features as the latest Nano, minus the pedometer, and Nike+ support... It has more features than the older models. The biggest difference between them, and the reason I went with the Fuze, is that the Fuze has a micro SD slot. The Micro SD slot allows you to bump the storage capacity, but it also change what you have on you player instantly. Nanos don't do that, it's like having multiple players. Let's say you mostly listen to music with it, so you have a few standard play lists for different moods, maybe a couple workout lists. Most of that can be put in the memory of your Fuze depending on the size you buy. But lets say you have a kid and are going on a flight, load a SD card with a few movies, slide it in, enjoy your flight. Going to a meeting or lecture? Pop in a blank SD card and use the recorder to take all the notes for you. Load some audio books or language lessons on there for commuting. A couple of notes about the Fuze line: The big advantages as you go up in size are the memory availability and battery life. As I was not concerned with storage, I have a 8GB micro SD card in mine right now, the battery life was the only other consideration. I can get a wall or car charger if wanted more battery life for my usage, but that may be a consideration. As of the writing of this review the 3 models in current production are the 4GB, 8GB, and 16GB Fuze+, Fuze+ being a new release of the classic Fuze. They are ready for "Slot Radio", preloaded SD cards for folks who don't want to mess with play lists themselves. They have some additional upgrades that are nice, but I wouldn't cry over having a classic 16GB Fuze instead of the 16GB Fuze+. My 2GB model has all the same features that the other classic Fuze models have, just shorter battery life and less memory on the device. If it were a choice between a Fuze and an Ipod Nano, and both cost the same, I would buy the Fuze without question, they are just better machines in my opinion.Read full review
This is the eighth and probably last Sansa MP3 player I have bought. On the whole I am very pleased with them; the Fuzes are an advance on the earlier models (E260 and so on) because they allow folders (in the ordinary computer sense) to be effective playlists. On the earlier ones I could never figure out how to create playlists except by using album names to function as playlist names, which required massaging individual "songs" to change their album names, and then contriving to copy a list of "songs" into the wanted physical sequence in the memory. Very educational. It had all started with an Ipod I received as a gift. It did what I wanted, and playlists are pretty convenient, but why do you have to use Itunes to load it ? And why can't you copy "songs"; out of it ? Well I know why. Anyway Ipods are absurdly expensive. The Sansa prices on Ebay were very reasonable -- the expenditure of my time (on the non-Fuzes) was enormous, but I am retired, so ho-hum. The Fuzes, suffice it to say, are what an MP3 player should be. Why did I buy eight ? Well, they seemed like such bargains. How long will they last, especially if second-hand ? I have noticed over a long life that when you find something really good, you should buy a lifetime supply, because they will infallibly replace it with something "improved" but actually worse.Read full review
The product has come in a newish condition, there wasn't even a single scrape anywhere. The quality is top notch. The battery, store and inputs/outputs are checked, it can be clearly seen because they've charged the battery and filled the memory with some media so as to check everything works perfectly (I guess). All in all, I'm very satisfied with this product, I've already bought a Maxell 8GB microSDHC class2 memory card. It works perfectly. I've installed rockbox as well.. It is just amazing! The EQ settings are highly varied! Extandable memory is absolutely great, the sound quality is awesome, it's fast as hell, the battery lasts long! However, for watching pictures and videos, it's just a dead device, you won't enjoy it... It was absolutely unnecessary. Yet, it's an AMAZING product at a very cheap price!Read full review
