SanDisk 512 MB MP3 Player Blue Reviews
Obviously, to most other users this would not be an issue. I needed a player with an AB function. 1. That said, I had a fairly bad experience with an older voice recorder that had nearly intolerable sound.
1. 3. I compared many players (with AB buttons) during my research. 1. 3. Its an MP3 player.
2. When CD players first came out, the AB function was ubiquitous. This SanDisk unit actually had some good Audio reviews. 2. Also, SanDisk is a North American company (most of the devices with AB functionality were from Asia) - I figured any warrantee would be more easily handled from SanDisk.
I needed to get software (free) to convert my Apple iTunes format music to MP3. However, it has virtually disappeared over the last decade or so. So it covers my basic requirements. Its a very simple function, but extremely useful for learning/deciphering parts of songs. FM radio and voice recording are nice-to-have extras (and they work well).
Though that doesn't mean their audio expertise/execution would be expected to be good, it certainly means that they know how to build systems around their memory. 2. To me its not MUCH of an issue, but it IS an extra step. Brand. Reviews of Audio Quality. Once in FM Radio, I have to fiddle around quite a bit to get it back to Audio Player (yes, I read the manual). First, I own an iPod mini for general use and an iPod shuffle for use in the gym. However, I only gave 4 out of 5 for the following reasons:.
This function allows you to set up a continuous repeat of any section of an audio file (during playback, press the AB button at the start of the part that you want to repeat, then press the AB button again at the end of the part to repeat. SanDisk was the developer of this solid state memory. However, for other's it may be a significant problem. This is the big issue. Findings.
It DOES sound great. I don't need fantastic quality. It seems to me like a firmware glitch.
I chose the SanDisk for the following reasons:. Pressing AB a third time clears the repeat). Anyways, for me, since I did not get this player for the FM Radio, its not that much of a problem.
Price. AB - works as expected (of course). Switching from FM Radio back to Audio Player is a bit flakey.
But it SAYS its an MP3 player.
When I bought it, it cost $80, which now is a ridiculous amount of money for only 512 mb, so it can only hold 5-6 CDs worth of music. Now, of course, it's easier and cheaper to get players with more memory. (Another good point - one AAA battery lasts a LONG time). I bought this player to take with me when I was a freshman in college. I mostly use it when I go to the gym and sometimes when I'm driving I plug it into a tape adapter and it sounds really great. Overall a great product, but if I could do it again I would buy the same one with a much bigger memory. Also there is a handy lock function, so you don't have to worry about accidentally turning it on and wasting the batteries. I don't use the earphones that came with it, however.
Also I don't like how when it's set on shuffle, when I turn it off and back on, it's actually shuffled to another point in another song, so if it accidentally gets dropped, then I will turn it back on and it will be in another song, which I don't like at all. I don't ever use the voice recording function, but I'm sure it could be useful if you wanted to use it. I bought another pair because earbuds never seem to suit me. Now, halfway through my junior year, it's still in awesome condition. However, a couple complaints. If I drop it (which I do a LOT at the gym), the little protective case is good because the player is so small it can get banged around easily. It automatically shuts off when dropped, which may or may not be a good thing.
I bought this to use when mowing and it works perfect. I found a really good pair to replace them and now I wouldn't take anything for this player. I highly recommend this item but be prepared, you may want to purchase a more durable set of earphones along with it. It was a refurbished player but works like a new one. The original earphones had great sound but the 2nd time I used them, the cord fell out of one earpiece. Still a great bargain for the price. I love this MP3 player.
Bought this for my husband for Christmas. It's May, and we still haven't figured out how to use it.
This device is great for the price. The problem I have is that thw unit reverts back to the beginning of the book when switching from radio to song (book) mode. I haven't found a way to defeat this or a link to contact Sandisk by e-mail to question this. I download licensed WMA (Plays for Sure) books from Netlib. My plan was to use the FM radio for morning runs, then switch to the currently loaded book for my afternoon walk.
