1GB SanDisk Sansa Express

Pros: Tiny! Built in USB connector, card slot, no software required.

Cons: Has a couple of firmware bugs to work out.

The Bottom Line: Very nearly perfect. Once the firmware issues are worked out it will be the best ultracompact flash based player at the time of writing.

Review: So, Sandisk seem to be developing a pretty good record of doing things right with their latest series of MP3 players, especially given their competition in the things-that-aren't-iPods department. The Express is the newest member of their Sansa...

Pros: small, FM radio, expandability w/micro SD card-if you don't do the firmware upgrade

Cons: Sandisk support, buggy firmware upgrades, Sandisk support and Sandisk support

The Bottom Line: Avoid this player! If you have any problems and have to contact support, you will be sorry.

Review: When I first bought this player I thought that it was great. I used it to work out and had no issues with it. Then I had to go and try to fix something that was not broken and broke it instead.

I installed the software to update the...

Pros: Good array of formats, PC and Mac compatible

Cons: Poorly designed controls, bad sound quality, no wall charger

The Bottom Line: AVOID. There are much better players for the price!

Review: I've always liked Sansa players. Usually they pack incredible sound quality, a good number of fully functional features and options, and are simple to use. I was wholeheartedly disappointed in this shiny, mirrored rectangle that claims to be an mp3...

Pros: Features, construction

Cons: Poor documentation, poor tech support, doesn't shuffle songs

The Bottom Line: Better than most. May be the best for music only. Docs and support are terrible, though.

Review: NOTE: This is an updated review

Why did I Want an MP3 Player

Probably unlike most others, my sole intention for an MP3 player was a replacement for my car stereo. For one reason or another I've always ended up with...

Pros: Low price Great audio quality,navigation Shuffle MicroSD expansion Easy to load music OLED display

Cons: USB charge only. Display washes out easily in bright light Lanyard attaches to end cap

The Bottom Line: Great, inexpensive player with good feature set, great audio quality, ease of use and a display. MicroSD expansion is a big plus.

Review: After reading several reviews I recently picked one of these up at Best Buy and so far I love it. My wife does, too and we fight over who gets to use it.. I may have to get another one.

I wanted a small DAP and was originally interested in...

Pros: Sound Quality,Radio, Easy to use

Cons: None

Review: I just purchased this player at Best Buy($59.99), sound quality is very good, radio gets very good reception and it's very easy to load and delete songs via Windows Media Player. I was so impressed ,I purchased one for my wife the day after I bought...

Pros: Low cost, large song capacity, clear FM radio, good audio recording.

Cons: Volume controls suck when moving, display problems in bright sun.

The Bottom Line: Can't beat the features for the price. Good sound in a small package, that is relatively easy to use.

Review: I bought the SanDisk Sansa Express as I was looking for a small FM radio with decent sound, and hey I also got a very good MP3 player.

Navigating through the menu's is quite easy and fairly intuitive. Just the volume controls on the side...

Pros: everything

Cons: headphones are kinda low end quality

Review: This thing is great. I was looking to get a shuffle, but wanted a screen and some options instead of just plug and play. The direct connect USB is awesome and the option to use an SD card is great. Little did i know till i turned it on that it had a...

Pros: Bright blue LED. Great in case the power goes out.

Cons: Do you enjoy water boarding? Then this might be for you!

Review: What can I say? It's terrible. While you get an FM receiver and 1 gig of storage, the actual operation of this thing is straight from hell. If you enjoy forgetting your radio stations and audio settings, constant lock-ups, and sub-standard audio,...

Pros: None

Cons: Why pay that much for something unusable in two years ? Speak with your wallet.

Review: Unfortunately, for the eight people and more who have already bought one of these, according to SanDisk there is no replacement battery for this player. So, the $50~$60 you spent will be gone in two to four years (again, according to SanDisk). Next...
