Hello MP3'ers. After buying about $800.00 worth of IPODs for the kids over the past several years my wife decided she wanted an MP3 Player. A good friend of mine had purchased several Sansa's for his kids and highly recommended them. After owning the Sansa Fuse for several months it's the best $50.00 I've spent on MP3 players. It smokes the IPOD for the money. I like the IPOD ear-buds better but that's it (and I consider that to be very minor)! The Fuse I bought came with an extra 2GB card too.

I am very happy about this product. It has a radio and voice recording feature which I use a lot. There is limited ID3 tag information. You can not see what your mp3 file's bitrate is. You can't record voice on external card. However they are not so important. FM tuner function is great. Price is marvelous for this product.

After doing A LOT of research on MP3 players, I purchased this Sanza 2GB Fuze. To give reference to my review, I do not plan to use the photo or video features on this player. There are certainly other players with better screens for those particular kinds of things. So, if you plan to use those features heavily, I would be looking more towards a IPod Touch or a Sony Walkman or mabe the Sanza View (I think it is called). The screen on this is simply too small for it to be worth it. As for the music features, this player matches just about any other brand out there. I have tried this thing in various set ups - in my car, on a stereo, through computer speakers, and with the ear buds. They all sound really quite nice with the exception of the horrible ear buds that come with the player. But hey, they are ear buds and will sound bad anyway. The radio thing is nice but not a deal maker or breaker IMO. In any case, it draws good clear signal. My biggest complaint is the interface. The menu set-up is not extremely intuitive and the controls take some getting used to. Maybe I'm old fashioned but the wheel thing seems like a way to make something that should be easy more difficult. When I am in a song menu, I can't tell you how many times I've tried to simply press down and nothing happens. In most menu's it forces you to use the wheel. The other part about this is that it is not always consistent. Some menus you press the middle button to select and others you press to the right. Sometimes you can use up-down other times you can't. Really kind of a mess in that regard. Finally, there is an expandable memory slot but the manual itself does not really explain anything about this at all. I put my SD card in and expected the player to prompt me about formatting it or something much like my cellphone did when I put one in it. I scrolled through the menus and couldn't find a thing about it. The manual they provide is also mum on this point. I have not filled the player past internal capacity yet so I'm not worrying about it but it seems to me if you have a feature like this that sets you apart from your main competitor - IPOD - you would make a huge friggin deal about it in the owners manual.

In, summary:

Pros -

1. Great MP3 player. Nice sound. Decent equalizer.
2. Expandable memory.
3. Radio.
4. Radio and Sound recording.
5. PRICE!!!
6. Good Battery life (so far).

Cons -

1. Small screen.
2. Moderately difficult and cumbersome menus and interface.
3. Manual is not comprehensive.
4. No wall charger included.
