Well, yeah..it's NOT an iPod. I don't think SanDisk is trying to be an iPod with this player, and I'm thankful they're not.
I wanted an MP3 player so I could listen to music while running. I needed something small, lightweight, easy to operate without having to break pace - especially when on the treadmill - and something that could take the bounces and jostles associated with running. I didn't care about the iPod brand, being able to watch TV/video, color screens, or having double-digits worth of GB memory. This little SanDisk player is great for me. Within hours of it being delivered to my front porch, I had several CD's worth of music loaded on and I was listening with no problems. It was super easy to load music on it using Windows Media Player. It did take some reading to figure out how to work all aspects...Read more 133 of 134 people found the following review helpful: Feature-filled MP3 player, A Kid's Review This review is from: SanDisk Sansa m250 2 GB MP3 Player (Black) (Electronics) I recently got the Sandisk M250 MP3 player for a present, and I absolutely love it! It's really simple, yet it's full of features that I have come to appreciate a lot. I'll give you my pros and cons on this player, starting with the cons, because there's not very many of em. Cons: --included USB cable is only 6 inches long, and can pose a problem for those who have USB ports in the back of their computer. --included case is adequate, but it's a pain to put in and take out the player. The case is made of a soft plastic that sticks to the player, making it a pain to use. I got the silicon case, and itis soo much better; it is very easy to take off and put on, and also provides better protection for the player. I found it easier to press the buttons on the player with the silicon case on. --backlight is on the dim side, and could be lighter, but it's good enough for me. --does not have a clock, like other Sandisk players. I would just like one...Read more 109 of 109 people found the following review helpful:  Solid Player with a few Idiosyncrasies, By This review is from: SanDisk Sansa m250 2 GB MP3 Player (Black) (Electronics) This is a four star player out of the box. However, with a free Mediamonkey download, you can make this a five star player. First, let me start off by saying that I have owned an Ipod and other popular mp3 players in the past. I have probably gone through four different music players in the three years. And in the course of dumping my money into both music and hardware, I found this Sansa player to be a diamond in the rough. Why? : Pros: 1. Removable AAA battery - You can get the fanciest mp3 player but in about a year, expect to shell out another hundred bucks (or so) for a new battery. You can also do it yourself, but that's not the real problem. How about when you want to listen to your player all day at work, while commuting, or while camping? If you use your player on a regular basis or where a power is scarce, battery life is the limiting factor. It doesn't matter how many songs the player holds if it doesn't hold a full charge or the battery can't be...Read more |
