SanDisk Sansa m230 512 MB MP3 Player (Blue) Reviews
Bought one over a year ago for my 9 year old who has used it daily. Naturally has taken a beating. Now my 8 yr old wants one and can't believe that this is still available at this low price. It works great, easy to use, increadible price, sounds fab, and sturdy. Wish had a recharger but based on past performance will be purchasing another.
I have been trying to get a replacement from BlueProton for this product that didn't work for the past 6 weeks and have not been sucessful. I am not impressed with the service or this product
Have it for 5 months already. Plays great I use it when ever I go to praticed running. No problems at all, great price.
For the price, this is an excellent deal. Great sound, ok battery life, very easy to use and the software works well with Windows Vista and XP. Highly recommended.
I got this MP3 player because I thought they looked neat and had nice features, big mistake. The blue paint started to chip the first few weeks I had it, then dirt got under the plastic cover and it began to get really gross. One day I wen to pick it up and the screen was cracked underneath and it would not turn on.
It's a nice design and the features like the radio and how easy it is to select the music you want. You can select a certain, author, CD, or genre. It's really nice feature wise except for the fact that it can't play movies.
It also turns on really easily if left in a bag or backpack since the button is one the outside and really easy to press.
I wouldn't buy another and would not suggest it. It's really cheaply made and not worth the money.
