great little gadget best part, expandable memory with micro sd cards up to 16gb..fm radio..music and video...makes this a great all you could want on your mp3.

I'm quite happy w/ my Sansa Fuze 2. I use it mostly to listen to podcasts. It took me a while to figure out how to download media to my device (the instructions that come with the package are not very helpful), but I figured out that Mediafly.com is the most user-friendly website for podcasters. I also ended up buying better headphones. All in all, the SanDisk Sansa Fuze 2 is a great buy for your money.

I have several MP3 players, including the iPod Classic. I primarily listen to books on my MP3 players, and I love the Sansa Fuze because it allows me to "rewind" or "fast forward" just like I can do on a cassette player. This is a fabulous feature. My only complaint about the player is that that battery doesn't last as long as I'd like. I can get through an 8 hour book file without a problem, but then I'm going to have to recharge the battery before I can listen to the remainder of a book if it is longer than 8 hours.

I thought this would be great player to replace my old sansa e250 considering its mediocre 'video' and picture display properties and I was very disappointed. The player looks thinner but the battery is not user replaceable. The screen quality looks better than my old e250 but still not as good as an ipod. The screen resolution is 224x176 vs 320x240 on the ipod nano video. The reception of the radio has improved compared to my e250.

The audio quality has greatly improved compared to my old sansa e250 and even an ipod. I can't believe they still use the archaic Sansa media converter to handle video and picture synchronization. I was really hoping that you can create your very own .mp4 file and .jpg instead of an .bmp files and sync to this sansa fuze player. In the middle of synchronizing a couple of pictures, Sansa media converter crashed. When I rebooted the mp3 player, the mp3 player is stuck on 'Refreshing Your Media' screen so I had to go to msc mode and format the sansa fuze. The picture quality is better than the e250 but not as good as the ipod. The menu screen is not very customizable and the only thing you can change is the screen color and not a picture of your choosing. I tried playing some videos, but it is really mediocre but at least it is better than the mjpegs that the sansa e250 uses.

As the way I see it, the Mediocre screen and weak video playback makes this player little more than a sansa clip with an color screen with an expandable memory. I doubt that it could compete with an ipod nano video unless they do something about the screen and video quality.

I love this MP3 player, it's great and comfortable u can put it in a chest pocket.
