SanDisk Sansa Fuze 4 GB MP3 Player (Black)

I just got my Fuze and it exceeds my expectations. Let me explain. I listen to audiobooks and music. I have never been able to find a player that allows me to remember my audiobook place (bookmark) after listening to music. Fuze let's me do this. When listening to a book, simply exit to main menu and you are given the option to resume when you return to your book. Awesome! And you will also automatically resume on the music track when you return there.

I have had had a Creative Zen V for the past couple of years, I actually bought a Sansa 260 back then but got rid of it. The Fuze is so much better.

As for the player itself - it feels robust with a lovely finish. How well it withstands scratches remains to be seen but I will most likely get a silicone cover. The controls are wonderful to the touch and scrolling through the menus is a breeze. The scroll wheel on the Fuze is a huge improvement on its predecessor.

The only thing I would suggest to discard are the headphones. Get yourself a decent pair as the those included are garbage. But then this goes for most brands of MP3 players. I use Sennheiser PX 100 which are great value at less than $40 on Amazon.

All in all, the Sansa Fuze is a great little player.

Purchased for my 12 year old. He loves it. Very easy to use and great value for the money. Have been very pleased with all SandDisk MP3 players.

This would be perfect except the audio jack. Unless the earphone jack is EXACTLY in the right spot, the audio "ticks" and cuts out. The slightest vibration or movement knocks it out again. The ease of use and size of player were perfect -- but at the end the audio problem makes this a bad choice. Not sure if it's just a defect for mine or something wrong with the majority of the manufactured product.

I went through 3. Yep, and all three went on to have the "ticking/skipping" sound when I turned up the volume. It wasn't the earphones. It wasn't the format of the songs: it comes with sample songs on which I tested the volume. Then I look this little flaw up in google and one forum says that Sandisk is "working on it." Nice, well while they work on it this player is heading back to the store. Buy this with a warranty, just in case.

Was a little disappointed at first. This is my first experience with a MP3 Player. After several non-successful attempts to load my music I was ready to trash this little sucker. But to my surprise, operator error was the main problem....imagine that! Now that the bugs have been ironed out...I love it. The FM tuner has great reception and sound. A great item for the money. Would recommmmend to anyone and don't think Amazon's price can be beat.
