    Fits Any Lifestyle
    The Sansa Express connects directly to your computer's USB port. That means no extra cables to add to your already-cluttered desktop (if you do require a cable, an extension USB cable is included). Weighing less than an ounce and about the size of a pack of chewing gum, the Express can easily go anywhere you go.

    Full-Featured MP3 Player
    The Sansa Express supports MP3, WMA, protected WMA, WAV, and Audible file formats. It includes 2 GB of flash memory, along with a microSD slot to expand your capacity and provide music portability. It also supports most subscription music stores.

    Enjoy FM Radio--Now or Later
    The Sansa Express features a digital FM radio tuner and the ability to record radio broadcasts. Keep that interview or song for later reference. Program up to 20 of your favorite stations as presets.

    Voice Recording
    Have a thought you need to get down before it evades you? Use the built-in microphone to record voice memos.

    Sweet Simplicity
    Once connected to your computer, the Express is detected by your operating system and appears as additional drive. Simply drag and drop your music files to the Express and you're ready to go. The lithium polymer battery is also recharged while the device is connected, giving you up to 15 hours of use at full capacity. The device is compatible with Windows XP and Vista, and requires Windows Media Player 10 or later.

    SanDisk Sansa Express 2 GB MP3 Player (Black) Reviews

    This is the THIRD MP3 player I have purchased for audiobooks, because the 1st two didn't work. I wanted to get my husband a mp3 player so he could listen to books from audible and from the NH downloadable library.
    [...]
    (these books are free to download which is right in our budget.) The Coby 4 GB was lovely, but would not allow me to download WMA files to it. The Samsung YP-F1X 512 MB was great, but after a few weeks the battery wouldn't hold its charge. I admit that we just got this one and I may have to revise this review, but so far, I am very happy. And it was under $30!
     
    I have a Sansa Fuze and wanted a small mp3 to just store classical music on for work. I love my Fuze, but just wanted something cheap so I didn't have to deal with submenus, etc, to find my various classical songs.

    I receive the Express and it was exactly as I desired--slightly larger than a USB drive, can extend memory with micro SD, etc. Plug it into my computer to transfer my classical music files--my computer can't see the device. I go to the SanDisk website to look for drivers, etc--the Express is not on their main site. Finally find it in "legacy" products. There is a firmware update that would seem to be the solution--but your computer MUST BE ABLE TO SEE THE MP3 IN ORDER FOR THE UPDATER TO WORK!

    Contacted SanDisk support via chat to try to resolve...SanDisk no longer supports legacy products and all help must be done via email. Too much of a hassle for me for something that was supposed to be a "quick fix." I am doing my first Amazon return!

    The good news is that I figured out that i can transfer my classical music to a microSD to use in the Fuze and only had the Fuze read music that is on the "external drive". Like two mp3s in one, and I am saving money!
     
    I've owned this thing for the past 2ish years and haven't had a single problem with it. 6 months ago I bought an ipod touch just because it's undeniably a nifty gadget. 5 months ago I reverted to using my sansa express for my portable music needs. Why? It's a little difficult changing tracks in your pocket when the only thing resembling playback controls is a minimum 3 step virtual button pressing process on a glass touchscreen (not really tactile friendly). I know I'm comparing apples to oranges here, but at the end of the day it's really about the music and not so much the great potential web surfing experience you can have on a 4 inch touchscreen. Plus, with the sansa now at $26, I'm not gonna have a breakdown if it gets lost/stolen/destroyed like I might have if it was a $200 ipod.
    Anyway, great little simple device. You can really beat the crap outa it and it just keeps serving up music without giving you grief. It's got buttons too.
     
    The music player works great, I bought it to use while I'm snowboarding.
    My only knock on it, is after I'm done charging it or loading music onto it from my Mac, you only have a small window of time to pull it out of the USB slot before it automatically remounts itself. One time I missed this few second window and I ended up have to reset the device to get it to work again. Other than that battery lasted a full day on slopes -- plus. I often hit the select button on accident when trying to change songs. But those would be my only knocks. Nice, low cost music player.
     
    It would be very difficult, if not impossible, to find a better mp3 player in this price range.

    Having the USB connector was the first feature I looked for as it makes transferring files much easier.
    The internal battery is charged while the player is plugged into the USB port of a computer, which I did not realize until after I had ordered it. The previous player I had used 1 AAA battery and I was able to use it for several days on a single battery. For me, it seems that I can only use this for one day and part of another on a full charge but I know that skipping through tracks and playing with features is far more draining. I'm betting that if you just let the tracks play it probably will give much better battery life. Of course, at the end of the day I just plug it in and the next morning it's charged and ready anyhow.

    The player is very small, so portability is excellent. The expansion slot is neatly placed under the earphone jack, and takes mini-SD cards. I have a 2GB card in mine, so immediately I doubled the capacity which is nice because it's a decent price jump to the 4GB+ players. Another great feature is the FM tuner, with impressive reception and a good amount of presets. The sound quality on this player is good, but that's not something you can rate a player on being that the earphones will deliver the sound.

    **I have a pair of the A4 Tech MK650 metallic earphones and they are among the best I've ever heard. They compliment this player well, as they are both very portable.**

    There are plenty of features that make this player great, but ease of use is really what I enjoy most.
    The controls are simple, laid out well, and easy to navigate through. I would highly recommend this player for anyone who enjoys good sound and likes the ability to easily transfer files to and from the player. There is also a voice recorder and you can record segments from radio as well.

    The only thing that this player is lacking is the ability to browse folders or play only music from certain folders, unless I just haven't figured that out yet. Navigating through 400 songs takes a long time and I've yet to figure out in which order songs are placed or why so being able to only play songs from a folder I choose would be great.
