- Good player, small bugAll in all I'm pleased with this purchase; it seems to be of decent quality and works well. Buyers should be aware that (as of this writing) there is a bug in the audio caused by a battery-saving measure. When the equalizer is at its default flat settings and the backlight turns off, a motorboating or "bumping" sound can be heard when listening to certain audio files. This is easily worked around by either changing to one of the EQ presets (i.e. "Rock" or "Classical"), or by choosing "Custom" ... Read More

- Sansa Fuze AdvisoryI recently bought a Sansa Fuze music player, 8g plus 8g external memory card. *When* it plays, it plays well and sounds a little better than did my last that crapped out, a Creative MuVo 5g. The trouble with the Sansa Fuze is that it won't play a lot of things loaded on it. They're there but the player skips over them as if they were not. So far I haven't figured out the solution. I've downloaded the new firmware as advised by the Sansa website but it changed nothing. They refer without explanation ... Read More

- A Nice iPod nano AlternativeI'm a Mac person. Most of my computing is done on a MacBook, and I have owned almost every iPod since the 2nd generation of the device, so for my review to declare the Sansa Fuze 8GB media device a "Nice Alternative" for the iPod nano (which I consider probably the best player available), that means something.
Physically, the Fuze is about the same size as the previous "fat" nano, though it's a wee bit thicker. While you do gain a little size, you also gain a moving, mechanical selection ... Read More

- Would be a great mp3 player but...Having had the Sansa e130 I was really looking forward to this mp3 player.
Unfortunately it has 2 problems, one of them sufficient to return it to the store.
First, minor inconvenience, it uses a proprietary cord, instead of a standard usb cord, so...its now one more cord to carry and if something happens to it...you pay.
Second, major problem, this player will NOT be even seen by your computer unless you have Windows Media Player in it (10 or higher to get some MTP somethin ... Read More

- Great Value with lots of perksI love my new Sansa Fuze for several reasons. The price was very reasonable, lots less than the big name competitors. It is an 8GB unit and that can be doubled by added in up to an 8GB memory card. It has an FM Radio and has preset station functions. It is small and good looking. Lastly, it works great. I recommend this to anyone looking for performance, adaptability and value.
