Customer Reviews
"love it, love it, love it!" After charging the battery I got the latest firmware upgrade and then put Rockbox 3.6 on it. Will need an expansion disk soon, but right now I'm mostly listening to some self-help mp3's. The cd thing just wasn't working for me. I listen with this on shuffle and repeat all night long several times a week.
I'd listen every night, but the ear buds don't fit in my ears, so I'm using an old pair of ear buds from a Sony Diskman. I have worn a small blister in my left ear. Evidently it is just a little bit smaller than the right ear. I've ordered a set of Acoustibuds earphone adapters. The Sansa's ear buds sound a little bit better than the Sony's, I just can't keep them in my ears.
I never used the Sansa firmware, so I don't know how it compares to Rockbox. From looking at different forums and feedback I just decided to go with Rockbox. If what I read is right it has better sound. All I know is The Doors and the radio stations I listen to sound fantastic!
Got a refurbished v1 and with Rockbox can use any size expansion disk I can afford. I had a bit of room left on my 6gb after putting my self-help mp3's on the E270 so I add The Doors. They never sounded better! I'm glad I have cats. Everyone's a critic. If they were dogs they'd howl while I sing along.
I think it was a great price for a fantastic mp3 player. I can change the battery, expand the memory and with free open source Rockbox I don't know what more I could ask for (oh ya, ear buds that fit). For the price I can't complain that they didn't send along several different size adapters for the ear buds. I just hope I like the ones I've picked out. Just ordered them. The blister isn't turning into a callas. It just hurts. I do use my old fashioned head phones during the day, but they don't have the same sound quality.
I never wanted an mp3 player. Never thought I'd have one, but some personal issues and gigabytes of cd's brought one into my life. I love it and won't be parting with it.

"My Playa" My new Sansa player is rather easy to use and holds quite a bit of music. The thumb wheel seems to be kind of loose, but I have read other reviews that mention this issue. I purchased a memory card for added disc space, but have been having trouble determining if the player recognizes the added space. The player easily fits in my pocket and doesn' t get in the way when I listen to music. It is much more user friendly than my iPod Nano. I can more readily manipulate files on the Sansa then on the Nano.
"The Sansa e200 player can be a solid value." This is my second e200 (6G and 8G). Both are Refurbs.
Sansa makes hardware; Software is not their forte. Regardless of the Sansa firmware version, the interface software is poor. Install Rockbox: it's Free, and Much Better.
The proprietary cable is a drawback, but I bought a set of chargers for it (both AC and DC) for under $10 on the web.
Buy a case that will protect the screen (I bought the Belkin F8M047-BLK for under $10 on the web).
Compatible batteries are plentiful on the web. I've seen prices between $8 and $30. Search on SDAMX4RBKG10 or e200 battery. Amp hour ratings may vary (650 to 750 mAh).

"6 gig mp3 player with a good deal of features" I like this mp3 player, but since I have a crap ton with me at the moment, it's actually taken a backseat til I get home.
pros:
1) 6 gigs, screen capable of pictures mp3 and video
2) sd slot is a nice addition for music oversaturated people
3) at 40 bucks, even refurbished, it is a steal
cons:
1) clunkier than just about every other mp3 player I ever owned, which doesn't make it very versatile in my case.
2) doesn't necessarily deliver anymore features for the size (it's not that big, but for some reason I've always tended to buy small mp3 players)
3) it's not as asthetically pleasing, but I guess that's just being nitpicky

"Sansa e270" This is a great mp3 player FOR THE PRICE. Keyword: FOR THE PRICE. It works fine, and is very fun to use (the turn wheel is addicting). It is not an iPod, and you should not think that it is one. It is very compact, and has a pretty good battery life. The audio when you are watching videos lags and the videos and pictures take a very long time to encode. It also is compatible (but harder to use) on a Mac. It does not work with iTunes or iPhoto. This is great for listening to music and is simple to use.
