SanDisk Sansa Express 1 GB MP3 Player (Black) Reviews
Another thing I noticed was It would change the titles, artists, or albums on it. The screen paused and it wouldn't even turn off until it was plugged into a computer. On occasion all of the text in the player would be in Japanese. It worked fine for the first month but after a while I would turn it on and then it would stop.
I also had the problem with the player randomly turning off when it was still charged. It would say something like the song was called "Justin Timeberlake" by Purple Haze, from the album "Billie Piper" It makes browsing through music very irritating. Just right in the middle of the player starting up. I bought this product about 4 months ago. I would have to delete everything and drag it back into the player.
Yes it IS a darned good Mp3 player and a fairly decent FM radio as well. Conclusion: BUY IT. First things first, and this may seem trivial BUT this unit has a rechargeable battery, saving you some serious money on constant replacements, not to mention it has run mine for well over 10 hours. 2) It has a lanyard attachment to the CAP over the USB plug, weird because if you did manage to somehow pull the unit away from the cap, you would lose the unit but still have the cap attached to you, but in fairness it does take a decided tug to get the two apart. Pluses. SanDisk builds quality stuff, and this unit is right up there with the best of the best. Period. 1) It does not have a clock.
(It's rated at 15)But as the small print says "your results may vary". I have done the MP3 CD players, a El cheapo no name flash based player, but this unit just flat out is awesome. You will not find a better, smaller, easy to use Mp3 player.
2) When it is laying on its side it does so at a slight angle making for easy viewing. Anyways. 1)The display is just right and it does read Id3 tags. I have a 2 gig card so one could easily never hear the same song twice driving across the USA.
I have two cons for this. Add to this it will accept a MICRO SD flash card and I do not have to tell you how many tunes you can stuff into this tiny player. 3) The controls are fairly intuitive, I love that part almost as much as the sound quality that happens to be just short of perfect.
That is a lot of songs. NOTE with a card in the slot you will need to hold the center button for up to a minute maybe two in order for it to boot up. It has more volume than my last player. Wait until you get a display that says:Refresh Database Do Not remove SD. I bought the 1-gig player and three 2-gig micro SD cards.
It definitely has its idiosyncrasies, but I was able to get around most of them. I used it mainly for listening to netcasts, shows which run anywhere from 15 minutes to over three hours. These take up space on the mp3 player, and may eventually leave you with very little free space over time. I guess I got my money's worth out of it. One issue that both Sansas seem to have is that sometimes a track will be on the mp3 player, but not show up on the list of songs on the device when you plug it in to your computer, thus leaving you with no way to delete the file from the player. If you want a cheap little player that you won't miss that much if you lose it, well.this might be a good deal for you, or the Sansa Clip, the one I'm using now, which was 40 bucks. It was a slow process, but hey, I paid $30 for it. It gradually got worse.
Bought it about six months ago.
For instance, the fast-forward button refused to respond, so I would have to use the fast-reverse if I wanted to go back to the 1:04 minute mark of a 3:00 podcast.
30 bucks for 6 months of use.
After a short while, some of the buttons just stopped working.
The buttons became more unresponsive, it would freeze up sometimes, and I would have to perform a hard reset.
But hey, these Sansas are cheap, and they do work, so I would probably buy one again.
It is a good little mp3 player when it is working.
$30, great deal.
The hard reset worked several times, but finally, after 6 months, the thing just stopped completely.
I wanted to use the recorder but half the time I cannot figure it out and when I do it is by accident. The product is ok but it came with no directions which has made it difficult to use.
