The Sandisk Sanza Fuse MP3 player I recently purchased is worth every penny. It may be more expensive than newer models, but it is less expensive than many of its competitors, especially those from Apple. I believe it is the best value available.

A really good MP3 player that I have come across is the SanDisk Sansa e280 8 GB MP3 player. It is a little more expensive than most (I think new it's about $149.99, may be cheaper), however it lasted me about 7 years. It probably would have lasted me longer, except a friend borrowed it and left it in the rain. It is a pretty high quality player. Now on to the itunes issue. Itunes has basically made it so that you can't download music from them onto something that isn't apple, except a desktop computer. I received an itunes gift card once and did not own anything by apple. I downloaded itunes onto my computer easily and then bought a few songs. I did a lot of research and tried and tried to sinc the music onto my MP3 player, but nothing was working. Finally, I tried to download my songs onto a disc, which worked. Then I proceeded to upload that disc onto a different media player (Windows Media Player) on my computer that allowed me to download songs onto my MP3 player. All in all it was a very frustrating and difficult process. If you want to avoid the frustration of having to deal with itunes, I would just get an apple ipod, ipod touch, or something that apple allows itunes to download to. If you really want an MP3 player I would recommend the one I highlighted above.

I use SD cards and the music on them is MP3. I use old SD cards from years ago that had been in cameras. I didn't even reformat them. I use it plugged in and I love it. I play stuff all night to cover the background noise and some times I leave it on all day. I switch cards often so I have different music on each. I haven't tried it with a stick.

I have a Sansa that has no trouble with vista using the windows meida player. I love it I was thinking about the zune but from these post maybe not I should just stick with the sansa since it also has the sd slot for expansion.

It has a standard headphone jack (3.5mm) input in the back so it would work with any mp3 player that has a headphone jack. You can pick up a cable on Amazon or anywhere that sells audio equipment for a couple bucks. Only drawback would be that it doesn't charge the device.

While this post is really old, I'll respond in case anyone else is wondering. This player works with any OS. All you do is copy MP3 files to the SD card and put the SD card into the player.

Since it has RCA inputs, you'll need a mini stereo jack to RCA cable to attach any MP3 player to it that has as standard 1/8" stereo jack (basically anything you put headphones on). No fancy dock, but easy enough to connect.

Unfortunately, this is my biggest gripe about all MP3 players - PROGRAMABILITY! The only way you're going to be able to play the way you want is to build playlists on your computer and then select random play. Or you can use the bookmark feature directly on the Gigabeat and have it randomly play. There is no way to play just an artist or genre folder randomly.

I have no problem playing my mp3. Sometimes those expensive phone players screw up a regular player-speaker. I have no problem with mine. The only problem I have is when my mp3 runs out of juice - then I just recharge and play over again.

there are two types, one has the fm, the other does not. i ended up returning this player and bought the waterproof ipod. expensive but the best mp3 player i've ever owned. rocks in rough, open water.

I use my mp3 exclusively for audiobooks. I'm a real junkie and listen nonstop all day when I'm not at work. The first one I bought was a Zen V. It had issues, but improved when Creative came out with new firmware. After using it for a year, the battery would no longer hold a charge. There was no way to replace the battery. So I decided to look for a player with a user-replaceable battery and bought a Zen Micro. It worked fine for a few weeks, then it broke and Creative said they could not repair it. I decided the battery was more of an issue than the bookmarking, so I bought a Sansa e250 v2. I've had it for about a month and it's great. Better than either of the Creative players. But it doesn't have bookmarking. Rockbox wizards are working on a new version that will work with the Sansa e250v2, so I'm hoping that will give it bookmarking capability. The resume playing works really well with the Sansa (unlike with the 2 creative players). Since I only listen to one book at a time and don't listen to music, the only time bookmarking is really an issue is when I transfer or delete books when the player is connected to my PC. (I have a Gomadic wall charger to recharge the battery at night.) I'm really not sure about the full time stamping. My library changed from netLibrary to Overdrive. Overdrive breaks audiobooks into multiple files instead of having one really large file like NetLibrary, so that hasn't been an issue. In 2006 a survey showed that 25% of the adult US population listens to audiobooks. It's really stupid that mp3 manufacturers continue to ignore our needs when the technology and software already exists to provide every player with full time stamping and bookmarking. If just one of them would come out with a reliable player with a user-replaceable battery and those features, they would probably rival iPOD overnight. If Sansa would respond with a firmware update to provide those features, the e200 series could be that player. Instead, they foolishly continue to ignore the pleas of audiobook listeners.

Yes the player will play MP3, it will play AVI depending on which codec is used. I have used the player to play AVI using the Divx codec.

Luke, If you still need one, I have uploaded a User's Guide / Manual for this MP3 player. It's included at the end of my review. Rick S.
