Welcome
to the SanDisk 256 MB MP3 Player Red Review page:
Well, I got this device
and looked at it for 5 seconds. Ok, there's the USB connector. Bang, it's on the
computer. Since I was looking forward to this player showing up, I went ahead
and created a file of music for it. So about a minute or two later I had 115 songs
on the player, even before I got around to putting the battery in it.
I
took out a pair of cheap Sennheiser headphones, the full sized kind. The sound
quality is just fine with no adjustment. Unfortunately, now I ran into the first
problem. The unit is so light, and the Sennheiser headphone cord is quite thick,
so the darned thing wouldn't just drop to the bottom of my pocket. Geeminy, the
stuff you have to put up with to use these little gadgets.
I suppose it
would be a good idea to use rechargeable batteries. But the good news is that
you can get 2 of them, the NiMH kind, for 10 bucks. And if the first one goes
bad, you should have a few spares for the 10 dollar outlay. Who needs a player
with a battery only the factory can replace?
Well, now my only regret
is not getting the 1 gigabyte unit. That would be 500 songs (mostly wma at 64
and 96), and might not be too good in terms of naviagation. Like I say, you can
transfer the full capacity in a couple of minutes with USB2.
Why go with
a huge capacity hard drive player? Do you really need a fancy program to track
every song and synch up with a player? Look, if you want simple, this is your
baby. Just transfer the songs as files, to the player. That's it. WMA or MP3.
Way to go, Sandisk!
