Great Idea but a bit quirky November 23, 2008
When this MP3 player works it is great. But on some of the tunes I downloaded to it, it will either skip to the next tune or shut down. These are all unprotected files so there should not be any DRM issues. If you shut it down then restart it it picks right up where you left off in the sequence of tunes. But if you reset the sequence and want to start at some tune other than the first one, it is slooooow. Some of the images of the player are misleading. Keep in mind that it uses one AAA battery, so it has to be thicker than some other players. But I am using rechargeable NiMH batteries in it and that saves a lot of money. I was not able to attache the little foam pieces to the earbuds.

Works Great for Me November 19, 2008
I was shopping for MP3 players for my wife and I. We are new to this technology. After researching a great many players, including those with video capabilities, we decided on the Sansa m250. We would have like a player with greater (than 2 Gb) capacity, but settled on this one for a number of reasons. br /br /First was the fact that it uses an AAA battery, instead of a proprietary one. I found on-line videos and instructions about replacing the battery in i-Pods models, Zune's, and several others. Besides the relatively high costs of such batteries and tools one should have to replace the battery, the operations are so intricate and prone to risk of damage to the units, that we were dissuaded from buying a model with internal, rechargeable batteries. br /br /Second was the price: less than $30 and with free shipping!br /br /Third was the many positive reviews posted here.br /br /I accidentally damaged the mini-CD that contained the manual when I was trying to open the #!%*$#@^ clamshell packaging. I went on line to Sandisk and tried to find the manual but didn't have any luck. I sent an e-mail asking for the url to download it. The first reply was one of those "knowledgebase" auto-replies that didn't address the specifics of my request and didn't help. I sent another request to customer service asking for a human to read my message. I promptly received a reply with the correct information and was able to download the manual. Great customer service is a forth reason to strongly consider this model if it meets your needs.br /br /The player, including the radio, works great, and it was easy for me to figure out its operation and change settings even though I'm a novice and did not have a manual. The Quick-Start guide was adequate to get me started.br /br /A last note is that this model apparently is discontinued. At least I could not find it listed in Sandisk's on-line store or any of their links but I did find some information on it on their website by doing a Google search. So if you want one, buy it sooner rather than later. br /

Great MP3 player! November 19, 2008
This is a really great mp3 player, I have not figured out how to do the play list yet, and I did not like the ear buds that came with it, so I got my own, but it is easy to manage and I like that I can turn it off and when I turn it back on it's right where I left off.

Mine's more than a year old and I'm buying more for Christmas gifts November 17, 2008
I bought mine more than a year ago and use it almost daily. Lately my husband and son have "discoved" mine and are constantly asking to borrow it. I bought cheaper mp3 players for neices last year and was disapointed in the feel of those. They were lightweight plastic and didn't have a backlight at all. This Sansa is nice weight, with a durable feel. After a year + of use it still functions like new. I'm very pleased with mine and the price is just right. The only down side that I have found is an operational error... when I lend it out, the borrowers don't always hold down the power button for the required 3-5 seconds and the battery is usually dead when I finally track it down and retreive it from them. This is the primary reason I'm getting them their own....
