ebooks? Does anyone listen to ebooks on the Sansa? Does it have a bookmark option?

I hear that it does not have bookmarks for audio books. Does it remember its place when you turn it off and back on?

No, it doesn't have a bookmark option. That's one of it's main drawbacks. Let's hope they change that in the next firmware update.

Sorry. I was never able to get it to do much, but I'm sure it would do books. I love their older MP3 players. Especially the Creative Zen.

The Sansa Clip displays looks like this:(shuffle) 412/729 [ ===]ArtistSong/Album|> -----==== 5:12By line:- mode, song #/total songs, battery status- artist name (scrolls if long)- song name / album name (scrolls if long)- play/pause, play position, play timeWhen searching, you can search by artist, album, song, genre, or playlist. It's *very* handy.

I noticed in a review that it does have a bookmark feature on audio books if you exit directly to the main menu. It didn't say how to do that, but I assume it would be pressing the little button above the wheel. When you exit to the menu, it will ask you if you wish to bookmark.

Just so it's clear, when M Weberg says the Fuse supports auto bookmarking for audiobooks, this applies to .aa Audible audiobooks only! If you've ripped your own audiobooks, they will be seen as regular mp3 music files and the multiple auto bookmarking won't work.

Perhaps this should be a new thread, but you specified "library". I want to be able to download boks from NetLibrary (available thru various public library websites. The file format does not run on iPod (I am told), only on certain players that handle WMA Secured files (the "license" expires, and they cannot be burned to CD, but can be downloaded to MP3 players. This is my only reason for getting an MP3. Several Creative products (including the Mosaic) have been tested and are supposed to work, along with the SanDisk Fuze model. I would appreciate any feedback specifically on this usage. Also, I cannot find anything in the on-line manuals about the "bookmarking" feature. I believe the intent is that I can read Book #1, get to a stopping point, mark it, then go on to another book (or opera, or whatever), and bookmark that as well, part way through). I have had bad experience trying to get phone feedback from Creative in the past, and store salesmen don't know anything. Does anyone have actual experience with this? Thanks.

I don't have any lyrics attached to any files, since all mine are from my own CDs. There is no mention of this in the Sansa manual (you should probably download it from the Sandisk site). The closest I could find was the few "tags," they suggest you can add, if they are missing, and lyrics was not one of them. After more than 6 months of nobody fixing or even acknowledging the major bug in the player, and taking more than 2 months to get one with a decent battery, I wasted no time in converting mine to "RockBox." There is a plugin called lrcplayer that works with it. You should download the PDF to read up on it... it's called "rockbox-sansaclipzip.pdf", and you can get it from the RockBox site. However, final note, with the size of the screen (in pixels), it is questionable as to how useful displaying lyrics on it would be.

I have it stored in my document file, so if I found it it has to be easy.I think I downloaded it from the Sansa website......

I listen to old time radio stores in MP3 not audiobook format, and I want to bookmark them, will I be able to do that in the fuze?

I have two Sansa players and have been very happy thus far. Owned an older Zen model, most unhappy, and because they've never had an FM radio, refused to purchase an Apple player.

It seems that other than the Sansa products, the main alternative is the Creative Zen Mozaic. But some of the customer comments on the Zen were that it freezes up when you try to fast forward or fast rewind. The Sansa seems to be better in that regard. It also seems that the Fuze has an automatic bookmark feature. I can't tell if the Clip has this or not. It does seem that the Sanza products do not have manual bookmarking that would let you keep your place in several books at the same time. That seems to be a feature that Creative Zen has had in some models. Larry

Sorry....I can't answer that question. I was only able to download music and mp3 files....not sure about books...let me know we're to get it and I will work on it Saturday. I'm not by my computer but I used the Walkman on the road today. So send me info and I will see if it works

Music from my cloud downloads perfectly to the iPod shuffle. I haven't tried it with audio books.

I have tried both the Sansa and Creative. I got my Zen because the Sansa did not have the bookmark feature. Creative's bookmark feature is nice but the products are not reliable. Before I purchased the Zen I saw the review that said it crashes. For those of us who listen to books, the crashes are a major problem. The Zen crashes whenever you fast forward or reverse. I used my Sansa for a year and reset once. I have reset my Zen so many time that the reset button no longer works. If you choose to disregard this warning be sure to keep your receipt.

don't format! the radio probably isn't broken; you probably just "paused" it. you can tell if there's a square shaped icon under the station ... would be a lot less confusing if they used the standard "||" pause symbol ... hit "|| >" and you should play fine. ALSO, there's a sansa forum out there ... now we know

Yes, you can! I download audio books from the library using the Overdrive platform and it recognizes the player. It actually works really well for books (but not for playlists).

It works great, but there's a huge learning curve. For one thing, the device wants to put the audiobook into the Music file, which will then play the chapters out of order. You will need to manually change that. Be sure to call Sansa Support for help. Once you get it all figured out, you will be very happy with it. I also bought a small speaker so I can take my books into the house with me and listen to them there as well as in the car.
