Welcome to the SanDisk 512 MB MP3
Player Blue Review page:
Pros of SanDisk 512 MB MP3 Player:
-Size
and weight are wonderful. Tucks into any pocket for casual use, and I don't even
notice it while using the armband for a workout.
-Drag & drop loading
& unloading are getting harder to find in mp3 players. This is amazingly hassle
free, just like using a Sandisk USB drive. Mp3 and wma without a problem. It does
come with jukebox SW if you like that, but I have yet to try it.
-Price is
great.
-Storage is fine for my needs. Holds to have several 20-song mixes,
books-on-tape, etc.
Cons of the SanDisk 512 MB MP3 Player
-The
navigation isn't perfect. It's not that annoying, but it's not too intuitive after
several weeks use. If you spend a lot of time moving through mixes, switching
b/n radio & mp3 playback, etc, then this will be a bit annoying, esp while
running/biking. If you just play, then it won't be much of a problem.
Par
-The battery life and radio reception are decent. Neither is wonderful, but
both are par for current technology.
Reasons to buy this over an ipod
(or why I did, and I'm happy)
1) Radio
2) AAA batteries, vs. proprietary
3) Ease of drag & drop loading and unloading.
4) I don't really care
about the ipod peripherals or style.
5) Better size than ipod/ipod mini, and
more display info/options than an ipod shuffle.
