SanDisk Sansa c140 1 GB MP3 Player (Black) Reviews
I will certainly NOT buy another one of these. From what I've seen, this is a common problem, with no fix posted. (Being out of warranty, they probably won't). Personally, I will avoid Sansa products in the future. Several times it has locked up, and I've managed to get it working again. I've had my Sansa c140 for just over a year. Now it won't connect to my computer, all text is missing from the menus, and tech support isn't responding.
When I plugged the player in, I got the dreaded "no drivers found" issue that is common with this OS. . It turns out that you can't have anything playing when you plug it in. I've had this player for a couple of years and it has performed well. I spent all of ten seconds playing with it, so it's probably fixable with a little tweaking.
I can't recall if this was the case with XP. The FM tuner is a bit weak, but functional, and the sound is pretty decent. I like that it has a switch to lock out the buttons so you can just stuff it in your pocket. In any case, it works fine under Vista 64 if you have it paused. I like that it takes AAA batteries because it's easy to guarantee you're not going to run out of juice on a trip.
The navigation is reasonable. FWIW, it works as a usb drive under ubuntu (Hardy). I haven't figured out how to get to the music folder, however - only AUDIBLE, CONFIG, and RECORD show up, while it's Music, Pictures, and RECORD when it's on Vista. Recently, I thought I was in a fix because I put together a new computer for home and put Vista 64 on it.
I also love the fact that it has an FM radio. My sister gave me this MP3 player when her boyfriend bought her another one. I love it. It's a great little MP3 player. Definitely would reccommend this to first time MP3 users ( like me who still hasn't gotten the hand on downloading songs from the computer). It's so cute and tiny.
After reading many reviews we bought this as my daughter's first MP3 player. So far loading songs onto it and using it have been very easy. We wanted to be sure that it didn't rely on charging it frequently, but rather used batteries because she would often be away from home or any computer while using this and that was one important reason we choose this player over others. She is thrilled with it and there have been no problems so far so I'm happy. It was also the first MP3 player in our house. The price was also great on this player.
I programmed the songs into the MP3 player, which was very easy (no CD to install) and I was able to also import photos which was nice. it was a gift and I have not received any complaints.
