SanDisk Sansaâ„¢ e260 (4 GB) MP3 Player

Pros: We like the ease of use, navigation, sound quality.
Cons: Doesn't play videos, often loses tracks, problems with Rhapsody file management, poor support.

When it comes to MP3 players, I’ve been through my share over the years. One of the things I love to do most on a beautiful day is go for a long walk, soaking up the rays to the beat of my favorite musique du jour; and MP3 players certainly ...

Pros: Affordable, and MORE options than the iPod Nano
Cons: I really haven't found any

Now that the holiday season is over, I have had some time to play with the newest MP3 Player to join our family. My son had asked for an iPod for Christmas, and while I did my comparison shopping, I found that the SanDisk Sansa e260 was a better deal. ...

Pros: Competitively priced - Feature rich - Good sound - Compact
Cons: Some glaring problems and oversights (See review)

UPDATE June 24 2008 - My initial review of this player was quite positive. However, after I'd owned it for a while, I plugged in the cable one day and Windows informed me that it was unable to connect to the device. I tried everything ...

Pros: Large screen, awesome MiniSD slot, has a lot of potential.
Cons: Controls from hell, Derivative styling, dead DRM scheme

Now that the iPod has become commonplace, the contrarians among us have been looking for a way to stand out. So far, it's been slim pickings- most iPod alternatives prove to add a few new features (FM Tuner) , or perhaps a lower price, but end up feeling ...

Pros: Sound quality, FM tuner, video playback, great tech support, sleek look and design.
Cons: Navigation is a bit awkward at first

Update 8/19/06 Okay, so after some extensive use I realized a few problems/comments that I feel I should tell you. Sure the Sansa has a scratch-protective back...but the screen scratches so darn easily! I mean most of the scratches aren't ...

Pros: Elegant, sturdy, intuitive - great sound.
Cons: Not compatible with iPod / iTunes.

Note – I have written a similar review on the 2GB version of this mp3 player. There are similarities in my opinion, but I have throughly revised and updated the review based on my experiences with the 4GB version. I note that I bought the 4GB version ...

Pros: Plays music/video, quick file transfers, can record from FM tuner, expandable and flexible
Cons: 12-second startup; don't break the screen!

Recently, I decided to upgrade my MP3 player from the Sansa m240 that I had been using (I reviewed it last year--"Impressive little package" was the title of that review) to something bigger and better. I stuck with SanDisk for two reasons: One, the ...

Pros: - low in price - video playback - great sound quality and recording
Cons: - storage estimate is really off (only 3.7 GB) - cover album art goes missing

I have had the SanDisk Sansa e260R for about a month now. This is my first MP3 player, and I mostly purchased this one to use when I travel. So far, there are many pros and cons attached to this player. I'll start with the good. The unit is very small ...

Pros: Small Lots of memory Expandable Lots of options
Cons: Lack of playlist options Proprietary cable Colour selection Charging via usb

I was in the market for a new MP3 player. On the suggestion from my friend I decided to take a chance with the Sansa, he stressed how it was comparable to the Nano at a lower price. I purchased this off ebay and got a really good price on it. I ...

Pros: Affordable Compact size Great sound Easy to use Battery life
Cons: Screen seems small for videos Small buttons Can’t delete files straight off the player

I recently decided to join the 21st century and purchase an mp3 player. Not being one to rush into things, I hunted high and low for an affordable, but not cheaply made player. Along the way, several friends recommended the Sansa e200 series. Again, ...

Pros: Expansion slot, Size, tons of features, works with MS Media Player
Cons: Easy to accidental record voice, lack accessories, no wall charger

Bought this originally for my father(70 years old) because it works easily with MS Media Player(MP) 11. Finding a player that takes MP is extremely important to me because I have been teaching my dad on how to "rip" and "burn" disk for the past year and ...

Pros: -cheap –small design –good sound
Cons: -Insufficient documentation on using device with WMP –only one playlist

Not that great Someone gave this to me as a present because I am anti-iPod. I do not like the iPod because it is very restrictive on the transfer of files to and from a PC and other devices; I wanted something less proprietary that would allow me to ...

Pros: The price was cheaper, but you get what you pay for. Had nice sound.
Cons: Poor costumer service. Cheap display screens. Buttons and control wheel difficult to use.

I bought two Sansa e260's for my older sons at Christmas last year. Within 2 months, the screens on both were broken and the displays unreadable. The players are still working, but if you can't read the screen, what good are they? So here's the ...

Pros: GREAT storage, sound, Small, Long Life on a single charge
Cons: It doesn't do my taxes. It won't get me a date. :)

Before I purchased and MP3 player, I read quite a few reviews. To be truthful, I don't understand the hubbub. I got the Sansa 4MB model because it was 4MB and a good price for that. I didn't care about video's or pictures or album art etc. I wanted ...

Pros: rugged exterior, fm tuner w/ record ability
Cons: defective headphone plug

I compared all the mp3's and the ipods when I bought this last year. The sansa seemed a better deal because of the fm tuner and ability to record off the air. The Sensa is a pretty close clone to the ipod and worked almost as good for a while. I ...
