sansa view Does it have a touch wheel? Does it have a touch wheel like the ipod!?!

No, it is mechanical, but personally i like the sansa better because it has better control and is smooth

No, this one is not touch screen. There are other similar models that are, but not this (and honestly I could not find any with this configuration that is also touch)

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.

Yes computer has a touch screen. Im a MAC guy,, I bought this just to see how I would like it. I found windows 8 to be difficult to use. Its been sitting in a storage for a long time..I regret buying it.

I highly recommend any of the Sansa Clips; I have the Clip and the Zip. I also recommend getting the RockBox firmware to replace the system that comes with them because of all the enhancements that RockBox gives you, such as better sound (yes, the highly rated sound of these devices can be improved), an incredible amount of additional features and tweaks, and the apps and games that come with it -- I can play chess on this thing! Awesome!

It has an Ipod choice. I think it might be in the set up. I haven't been able to figure that part out though.

Thank you for the tip. I just upgraded my firmware and I am very please with the added bookmark feature. The Sansa Clip was a good little player before the upgrade...now it is darn near perfect!

I find it interesting that this discussion was created in the first place. My initial confusion was that the product page seemed to be pushing for people to buy the iPod to use with this, but the item title specifically says FOR THE SANSA FUSE. I guess someone asked Amazon to change the item title and Amazon agreed? Not sure, but I originally dismissed all the iPod references on the item page as product placement or whatever you call that...

Nope, not this one. There's another similar model with touch screen available if it is still on the market

I was actually able to reset mine. Had to search around the Sansa website to find out how to do that. (Hold the on/off switch up for several seconds. It will eventually show it resetting.) Once it was reset, I was able to charge it and it has been working ok since. Very frustrating though!

Hello: Could you tell me what MAC you have please? I can not get my Sansa e280 8gig device to connect with my G4 emac. The screen of the Sansa says connected but nothing showing on my Mac. It did show as a volume a few times. Why only a few times I don't know. I have the USB mode set to MSC.Thanks for any help.

I'm not sure. I would caution that my experience with sansa mp3 players has been mostly negative. I had earlier mp3 players without a touch interface and these were pretty good. The players with touch were so dreadful that I'd never buy another Sansa device.

I also have a Sansa media player, and it worked fine, for about one year. Then, the touchpads failed to work and I had to throw it out. I called Altec Lansing and they said there was nothing they would do to reconcile this and I couldn't send it to them to fix. The sound is excellent, though. Good luck!

I don't know if it is different but pay $10 more and get sansa mp3 player. This thing will die in a few days ... You will waste your money :(

The Sansa Clip is compatible with Macs, but it depends on the music file format. If your music is all MP3s then it will play just fine, but if your music is mostly in AAC format, like mine is, then it is much more of a pain to use this player with a Mac because you need to convert the files to MP3's first.

With my iPod Touch, it only controls PAUSE / PLAY. Pushing and holding gives you access to Siri.
