SanDisk Sansa View 16 GB Video MP3 Player (Black)

Setting up the pre-set stations on the radio is a pain.If you go to a new area and want to find stations,it will wipe out what you already have stored.I'm sure there is an easy way to do it,however,there were no instructions in the package.

This thing looks great but it has never worked like it should and I wish I had never purchased it. I upgraded from a Sansa 280 which I totally loved until one of the pins broke off where the charger connects. Every time I turn it on it sits on the "Sansa" start up for what seems like forever, then it says "updating database" for what seems like more than forever, then finally you can use it. I want to use my player when I turn it on and not half an hour later. I only have music, no videos, photos, etc. and it takes absolutely too long to get to usable state. I deleted rhapsody because I thought it was part of the problem, it syncs all your files again and you end up with a pile of duplicates that are time consuming to remove. My player seems to do whatever it wants, freezing up, not allowing me to change screens to change music, etc. I would give this no stars at all for how it works, the only thing good about it is how it looks. Don't buy this piece of crap.SanDisk Sansa View 16 GB Video MP3 Player (Black)

After purchasing it new, I transferred my pictures & music to the Sansa View 16GB before deploying to Iraq. After arrival in country I discovered that a buddy of mine had this same multi-media player. Within 4 months use, both of our players quit working to some degree. With mine, the player still worked but became impossible to access, add to, or remove music or picture files when the unit was connected to my computer. It also became "stuck" on certain files when not connected with the computer (i.e. not being able to delete files). With his, he had the same problem with accessing the files when connected to his computer and then the front and back of the View's case started to separate from itself and he lost the ability to listen to his music. We both separately contacted Sansa's customer service but they provided no practical help in either matter.

After initially loading your music or photos to this player, don't expect to be able to make changes to the content of the unit ever again. Maybe some of these players keep working for other people, but in my experience 100% of the 16 GB Sansa Views that I have been exposed to have malfunctioned. I wasted my money on this player, and had to buy a new Sony Walkman to replace this Sandisk product that was very poorly made.

Within the first two weeks it is now showing me that half of the 16 gig of files contain "no song" although it was OK for the first week or so. I have had a couple other Sansa products and they have worked reasonably well except for the battery life. Very disappointed in this current player.

I bought this on 1/1. Liked it alot, loaded all my music. While I was walking along on 3/3, listening to Kings of Leon, it just stopped working. Splat. No rhyme or reason. Same thing happened with one I bought my daughter several mos ago. I guess you get what you pay for. iPod, here I come.
