 Very Poor Reliability and SanDisk Support For Hardware Failure Aug 30, 2010
I have had this MP3 player only 15 months and the video has failed. Started occasionally acting up after 12 months. $62 for an MP3 player that only lasts a 1.25 years is very poor value. SanDisk will not do anything after the 12 months warranty, no repair, no exchange, no prorated exchange, nothing! I will not buy any more of their products because of the short service life and SanDisk's support policy for units just out of warranty.
 After a Year of Use Aug 28, 2010
I figured after a year of use I can right a review about this mp3 player. I got my Sansa fuze in February 2009 after my car was broken into and my cheap samsung mp3 player was stolen. I am now looking for a new mp3 player because starting last night the screen goes white, it still plays but I have to turn it off and turn it back on, in order to see the screen. I usually use this in my car with an fm transmitter and in the gym in an arm band. I carry it around in my purse and it is scratched up and the paint on the back is almost gone. In other words I used it daily for the past year and a half. I used it driving from Houston to San Antonio, to and from work, to and from the gym, at the gym, on bike rides and 3 hour walks. I also have used the head phone hole to hook it up to a stereo I have and play it in the house. I use the usb to recharge it either on my desktop computer or my laptop when I go out of town.
Pro:
Drag and drop feature
Easy to scroll through songs
Plenty of memory
Battery life
Durable
not forced to download software
Con:
It sometimes goes white when charging (website tells you how to reset)
Takes forever to delete a song on the mp3 player
All in all this mp3 player did its job and worked well. I would buy another one but I am hoping that Sony S544 will be better. I have a couple videos and about 1,000 songs on my mp3 player, yet it still has space for more. I used the voice recorder once just to see if it works and it does; but I didn't buy it for that. I use the golist for songs to use in the gym and I also rate my songs because you can also play the top rated songs as an option.
I guess if you are lucky to get one that doesn't have issues then you will be extremely happy. The drag and drop feature is my favorite. I didn't need any additional info and I haven't had to worry about updating it like my last player. I did not install any software and was happy about that because with the samsung mp3 I could not use it without the software and when that wouldn't work because I did not have internet neither did the mp3 player. However, not with my Sansa. I was still able to copy and paste songs from my computer even though I didn't have internet. If only we could rate internet providers. :/
If you want an easy to use mp3 player for music this will work for you. If the S544 doesn't work I will definitely get another one.
 EXCELLENT --- I have never been excited to write a review! Aug 24, 2010
I have never been this excited to write a review. I cannot believe I paid $60 for this device. It does everything I want it to.
I HAVE UPLOADED 4 FULL LENGTH MOVIES to my Fuze using Video4fuze and the quality is DVD QUALITY and the sound never synced out of place. I don't understand how anyone says the Fuze is not meant to be used as a movie player because it's PERFECT. I can now watch movies on a plane, in bed, or as a car passenger. The screen is NOT THAT SMALL and it's not difficult to watch movies on it because of the size. If you are having problems uploading movies to it (crappy quality or whatever), then your movie file sucked to begin with. I am not lying when I say the quality of the movies I uploaded to it are DVD quality.
The video uploading feature is for sure the best feature on this mp3 player. The sound is great and it plays music fine. It's very easy to drag and drop music into the mp3 player (You don't need to use Windows media player to get music on it......no idea what people are talking about when they say that).
The little case that comes with it is also great, such a nice little bonus.
I just love this mp3 player and I am so excited that I paid $60 for something that plays movies this well.
 Sudden death. :-( Aug 23, 2010
The Good:
I must have lucked out and got one without the glitches. I used it quite often, for just over a year. I use it when I'm running, 5 days a week, indoors on a treadmill and I never had a problem with anything, including the headphone jack.
I didn't have any trouble figuring out how to save stuff to it, convert stuff, whatever. The format could be better, if it let you add songs to different playlists instead of just the 'Golist'. (maybe it does that somehow and I just never found it.)
The Bad:
I was running last week and it stopped in the middle of a song. It didn't freeze up, it just died. I thought maybe it was the battery, even though it usually runs 2 or 3 hours after the low battery light comes on. I only charge it once every couple of weeks. I plugged it in anyway, but it never came back to life. Looking into warranty info, but I'm really not expecting any.
I really liked using it. I'm not extremely picky, but this worked well for my needs. I would have rated it at 5 stars if it hadn't died.
Sandisk Sansa Fuze Aug 22, 2010
I was greatly impressed with this item. I have never used an MP3 player before. This was easy to use. The sound and tone quality are very good. Battery life is great. I have had no problems with the Sansa Fuze.
