SanDisk Sansa e280 8 GB MP3 Player (Black)

NOT happy... got this as a gift from my husband... and it totally died after 3 days... i only used it for about 6 hours total and it just went dead... won't charge... totally dead. returning it asap

This unit is great, very easy to use...But don't be unfortunate enough to crack the screen...Sansa doesn't care...there are no places to get it fixed...they don't sell parts...
We have one that is less than a week old and the screen(with the flimsy screen protector ON) cracked as it came into contact with my son's cell phone!
Sansa says tough luck. I'll not be buying or recommending these to anyone again...AND I BOUGHT 4 of THEM!! NICE!
Thanks for nothing Sansa!

replaced 6 year old sansa c150 2gb. plenty of space for the right amount of money. small, compact, lightweight. works great with RHAPSODY TO GO service.

This is a fine device, the firmware is just ok.

To make it better, install Rockbox firmware (rockbox.com) (free, open source)

Then, you can use WinFF (also free, open source) to make videos for it (WinFF actually has a Rockbox/Sansa preset)

Using this combo, I put flv's from YouTube on my Sansa all the time and they "Just Work (tm)"

Love the MP3 player; it does everything I need it to do. I purchased it with the intent of downloading my music PLUS numerous audio books from the library - works perfect! My one complaint is that I don't have more control over the volume; there are two settings "normal" & "high" and I haven't noticed a huge difference between the two. I do wish I could lower the volume below the "normal" built in level. The volume control should allow the user to decide their own hearing ability.
