5.0 out of 5 stars Sansa Fuze 4GB Red MP3, August 4, 2008

By	Claudia McCall (Pittsburgh, PA USA) - See all my reviews

Excellent product! My only complaint is that no really detailed instructions were included, and so I wound up learning a little about how this product interfaces with my computer by trial and error, which did waste a bit of my time. Once I figured one or two things out, tho, I found this little MP3 to be user-friendly, and very enjoyable. It has great sound, and I am enjoying listening to my local NPR station alot more easily than I do on my old school dial radio in my bedroom.

I especially love having so many of my favorite songs at my fingertips, and the size and weight are great advantages for my upcoming vacation, as I will be traveling by bus, and this is alot less cumbersome than my old CD player and 40 CDs would've been. The graphics are easy to understand, and the red color is so me! Cudos also to Amazon -- this thing arrived with lightning speed, very impressive, and it gave me plenty of time to rip and sync. One accoutrements package later, and it was all good. Alot of my co-workers are impressed that this little baby does so much for such a great price. And also, I have small ear canals, and have found the Sansa earbuds to be the most comfortable of the several pairs I own, not too shabby! All in all, great product, great price. Thanx alot!!!

3.0 out of 5 stars Great player with radio caveats, October 25, 2008

By	W. Webber (Austin, Texas United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This product has performed very well for me with regard to playing mp3 files. The battery last a long time, and the sound quality seems very good. There are 3 gripes I have:
1) The FM radio functionality of the player died a month after purchasing it. All other functionality seemed to work fine. I replaced the player, and paid another 20 bucks to have the warranty extended.
2) The reception for the radio seems quite poor. Even inside of town--- many regular radio stations seem very 'staticky'.
3) The volume of the player does not seem all that loud. Even with better earphones that go inside your ear (I bought after getting the player)---- it seems to produce less volume than other players I have heard.
Other than these issues, it has been a pretty decent device.

4.0 out of 5 stars Really nice player, July 30, 2008

By	hy0918 (New Jersey) - See all my reviews

i actually bought this player at Best Buy but i thought i'd write the same review i did on best buy site and hopefully it would help some people make decisions.


I was looking for an mp3 player with radio and voice recording feature which crossed out ipod off my list and led me to sansa fuze. i gave 4 star because i had some trouble with converting and putting videos in the player.

Design
i was worried a little bit when i was pictures online because it looked very shiny and plastic. i bought it anyway cause it met my needs. it really looks nothing like the picture, the red is dark and rich, the shininess doesn't look cheap at all and the wheel is matte (is that the right word? kinda like brushed metal) like the back, which makes this player look really high quality in my opinion. i was very happy when i opened the box to see all this.

Features
i only had this for couple of days, but no major problems so far. i've only tested out audio, video, and radio. the sound quality is really great and custom eq is very nice. radio is awesome as well, nice clean signals without static etc. putting/converting videos on this player (even with the sansa media converter) was a pain and it took hours of search on google but i found the forum with the solution. here's the link to the forum if anyone needs it.
http://forums.sandisk.com/sansa/board/message?board.id=smc&message.id=933
after going through all that, i put in some videos of concerts which looked really good. it's not crystal clear or really high quality but the screen is kinda small to watch long videos so it should satisfy anyone who thinks the video feature is a nice plus. i haven't tested out the voice recording and the micro sd card slot but i think they're gonna be awesome. you can put in 8gb micro sd card and make this 12gb player for little bit over $[...]! and with all these awesome features? it's definitely a must buy for people looking for a great deal.

Mac compatible!
by the way, this player works with Mac! you can't put videos or photos on it, but you can put music in it by drag and drop. i think even if you can't use is to watch videos or pictures, it's a great deal for a 4gb player that has expandable memory.

i'd recommend this player to all microsoft and mac users. but make sure to buy the $[...] replacement plan just in case the wheel or usb port breaks by using them alot. hope this lengthy review helped a little!
