Then when I fixed that, the internal memory was corrupt, so I had to boot into Linux and fix it while it was in manufacturing mode. This MP3 player is lightweight, easy to use, and has great sound quality.Pros:-Great sound quality-Good battery life-Easy to use-Supports Rockbox (play the original doom, gameboy games, and even videos)-Has a recovery mode-FM radio and recordingCons:-None for me so far.I'm really glad it has a recovery mode. The first time I installed Rockbox I managed to corrupt the bootloader.
Eventhouh, these days you can find something with more capacity and probably at a reasonable price Very Good.
Originally, I had a generation 2 iPod which was stolen and had to be replaced. Sometimes, in one sitting, a song will come up multiple times. I put it in a protective cover and attached a lanyard and it was perfect. I bought this mp3 player a week after it first came out. The only reason I'd consider buying another mp3 player anytime soon is for more storage of music. The shuffle feature is faulty. I have no interest in watching videos or playing games on my mp3 player, so for a no-fuss-no-muss mp3 player this is a great one.
If you are looking for a simple mp3 player that you just want for listening to music, this is the one for you. I would have liked the ability to create more than just one playlist.The battery life is OK -- I've taken the Sansa on road trips of up to 8 hrs and there's been no problems.It was smaller than my old iPod so it was easier to take with me to the gym yet it still has a screen unlike the shuffle. I've been able to get hours of use off my c240 even when the battery icon said it was nearly empty. You can shuffle the music; play music by artist, genre, album, or song (as long as you have working ID3 tags); listen to the radio; and record voice (I haven't had any need to try this feature). The battery icon cannot always be trusted.
It's been at least two years since then and I haven't regretted the purchase once. Also, the mp3 player seems to prefer starting on certain songs (many times, the same song would be the first one it played when I turned it on). If you press the select button while a song is playing, the screen will show the album art (if the ID3 tags are correct).Perhaps the best thing is that you can expand the music capacity since there's a micro SD card (SDHC won't work since this mp3 player came out before them, so the memory expansion is limited in that respect).I have a few complaints, but none of them really marred my experience with this mp3 player (and so didn't bump down my rating). I had never really liked the iPod (personal preference) but I loved the Sansa 240. Apparently you can also put pictures and view it from the tiny screen, but I haven't had any need to try and see if it works.
Supposedly if there was a V2 on the back, it could take a 4gb MicroSD, to my disappointment this was not so for my mp3. Luckily, I found someone to buy the two 4gbs. I love this player. So, after buying two 4gb MicroSD cards, I now have to order a 2gb MicroSD. I wish I would have bought a larger gb MP3 player. It's my first MP3. My only disappointment there is not enough storage space.
This is a wonderful product to buy. I love my mp3 player. I put pictures on it, I listen to music and I even record my own voice to remind my self of little things.
