Best MP3 Player I've Used! : SanDisk Sansa m240 1 GB MP3 Player (Silver)
I've been using my Sansa for about a year now, and considering the current price, I'd say it's well worth picking one up if you're new to the mp3-player game. While it's far from perfect, nor is it iPod-pretty, it's cheap and functional... if you don't mind tweaking it a bit.
Out of the box, the Sansa (not to mention every other Sandisk mp3 player I've used) has an ugly user interface, a lot of hard-to-find features, and one huge, truly infuriating flaw: it plays songs out of order. Even if you put mp3s in specific album folders, the Sansa will jumble up your personal playlists.
I'll start with the interface. Compared to the Nano, which has a nice backlit, multi-line colour screen, the Sansa offers you four lines with scrolling titles and artists. And the scroll is SLOOOOOWWWW. Consequently, if you're trying to figure out the name of the song, you end up staring at the screen for 20 seconds just waiting - there's no way of manually scrolling. The Sansa assumes that everyone listens to mp3s the same way - with uniform id3 tags. It would be so simple to give the user the option to scroll the filename, but no. You have to deal with an excess of information and chances are you'll walk into a tree or something.
If you want to do anything besides listen to mp3s - use the Sansa as a recorder, or listen to the radio - first you have to find those features. The interface is highly unintuitive and requires a lot of fiddling before you figure things out. That said, the tuner and recorder functions are nice to have on hand, though I use them rarely. One of the best things about the Sansa m200 series is the introduction of an effective equaliser, with a set of powerful presets - definitely appreciated.
The Sansa is also a voracious battery drainer compared to other mp3 players on the market. It takes a single AAA, but if you listen to it for any longer than fifteen minutes a day, you're going to be replacing your battery once a week.
As for the matter of mp3s playing out of order... There's a solution at hand. See, all Sandisk players (for some UNGODLY reason) store and sort files according to FILE DATE. Once you realise this, it's just a matter of downloading a freeware program like SetFileDate and modifying the timestamp on all the files you want to copy to your Sansa. Problem solved. It's a truly idiotic flaw - Sandisk should incorporate an automatic file-timestamp when files are copied onto its players, or simply adapt the device to play according to file structure - but in the meantime, manually changing the timestamp works just fine.
Once you've whipped the Sansa into shape, the positive aspects become more obvious. The exterior casing is well-designed, and I prefer the rounded shape to the iPod's flat-card appearance; there are no enforced DRM or file-type limitations that I've found so far; the sound quality is reasonably clean; and once you figure out the various settings, you actually end up having a lot more control over the player than your standard iPod.
One last criticism I will make... The headphone jack on Sandisk players wears out like clockwork after about a year. This is quite a common issue with a lot of smaller mp3 players on the market right now, but it seems to hit the Sansa with frustrating regularity. Try to avoid pulling your headphones out of the jack as much as possible and your player should live a lot longer.
