use with other MP3 players Does this system work with MP3 players other than the i pod? Particularly a Sansa MP3 player?

off course you can. I used to use with my laptop, and my brother with his samsug cellphone. with the remote you just can adjust the volume level and power the spekers on and of... last time I listen my old walkman on this.... feel free to enjoy your music ....

My wife uses the Sound Dock I got here with her Sandisk MP3 player. It can be used with any player that has a mini headphone jack and of course a mini plug to mini plug cord that can be found at any electronics store (Radio Shack,etc)

The ipod, even ipad works and sound great. With the ipod you have to buy an inexpensive connector though.

I have used it with my 4th gen iPad, but usually my 2-year old iPod Touch is connected. I seem to recall having used my iPhone 5 w/ adapter, but I can't find my adapter to test it. I have my iTunes and Kindle books synched with all my devices--and have Pandora and Spotify--so seldom have found the need to swap out the devices with this player. All I can say is everything I have attached to it has played with no problem.

As far as I know, anything with an MP3 or ipod connection will work just fine. I used this with both my smart phone MP3 and with my ipod Nano.

I have an Iphone 5 and it works fine. It utilizes Bluetooth technology so as long as your phone or MP3 player has Bluetooth it should be able to pair with it. I have also used mine with a fourth generation IPod touch. It is a great speaker and I never get to use mine as much because my daughter always has it. Enjoy it.

I imagine it can but don't waste your money. I have had nothing but trouble with this junk since I got it. Like having to reset it EVERY time I charge it and many times while listening. Somany times infact that after only 3 months the reset stopped working all together. I have the old unit also and it still works most of the time. You may be better off looking at a Sansa Clip or one of the other Sansa units. Creative seems to have lost the ability to make a decent MP3 player.

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 :(

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.

I'd like to know this too. Will this stereo work with any MP3 or will it only work with an iPod?

Sorry, but I don't know. This Altec Lansing player is a pretty old product. I am not sure if all Sansa products have the same size part that fits into the dock.

I don't have a sansa so I cannot answer the question affirmatively. It the width of your sansa is about the same as an Ipod or Iphone, it will work.

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 have never tried, you would need to find or make a cable with the appropriate connectors for the Sansa and the mp3 player.

Yes, but you can't use the actual dock. The Sansa clip+ uses a microUSB connection and the dock is the proprietary Sansa connection. You can use it as a speaker by plugging into the auxilliary jack.

I am not sure about an iPad since I have a Sansa mp3 and Samsung Galaxy Notebook. Both devices use a simple male to male earphone cable in the earphone jack. The speakers are designed for iPod/Pad devices and as such has an input slot which looks to be the same connection you would use for charging an iPod/Pad. Either way, you can't go wrong.

Yes - I have used the Soundfly SD with both my Zen and Sansa Plus MP3 players.

I am trying to find out the same information. I did find the following statemnet that says it works with the m200 series...: With SanDisk's Sansa Speaker Dock, you can share and listen to your MP3 player's music anywhere. Get high-performance sound quality from your Sansa e100 and m200 series MP3 players, most other available MP3 players, as well as through any device with a standard 3.5mm headphone jack, typical on most laptops and CD/DVD players with the included cable. The Sansa Speaker Dock comes with an AC adapter, and gets hours of continuous playback with four AA batteries (not included).
