Comments about SanDisk Sansa Fuze MP3 Player (Silver):
Very compact, eacy to use, especially like the external card feature. I've used the external card to keep specialty music on such as holiday music or workout music so I can just pop it in at the right time and go instead of taking up space on the internal memory.

Comments about SanDisk Sansa Fuze MP3 Player (Silver):
The Sansa Fuze is very easy to use. It weighs almost nothing and is a tiny device. I use it in my car, hooked up to my car stereo system and this way I have all my songs with me when I drive. The only "downside" which I can think of is the screen resolution which I think could have been better. Apart from that, it's a great product.

Comments about SanDisk Sansa Fuze MP3 Player (Silver):
This thing is very useful. I have audio books, videos and music on mine. Plus, if I get tired of my content, I can listen to FM radio.
And, if I use up the 8 gigs, I can always buy a 12 gig micro SD card and more than double capacity.
I am glad I made the purchase.

Comments about SanDisk Sansa Fuze MP3 Player (Silver):
I use this mp3 on weekly trips out of town. Its small size (like a thick credit card) allows me to put it into my shirt pocket and barely know its there. EZ controls on this baby, and plenty of volume. Long lasting battery (good for sever days non-stop) It charges while driving using the adapter, and also uses a low-cost 120v adapter to charge the re-chargeable battery if you don't have a pc available. Has 2 modes of recognition for your pc/mac. 1st mode is as in instruction book where on a pc explorer recognizes it. I perfer the 2nd mode that makes the Fuse look just like another Hard Disk on my pc. This way I can copy or delete large amounts of files using my own file programs other that explorer.
Tech Support is awsome also. I called with a minor question and the service person explained it with a minute. (No long wait) He was very courteous and knowledgable. Good tech support is a must in my book and the Sansa Company has that.
The only thing I've noticed (I have 2 of the Fuze) is that it will not read a external card above 8 gig. I've tried 16gb & 32gb cards but no luck reading them in my Sansa Fuze, they do read on my PC using a USB reader however.
All things considered, & the ability to add an extra 8gb exteral card makes this a premium buy.

Comments about SanDisk Sansa Fuze MP3 Player (Silver):
I use Linux and my music is in flac, ogg, or mp3 encoding. I just plug it into Ubuntu Linux and it is detected just fine; for either the MTP or MSC setting. I had to do a firmware update to get the flac to play correctly, which requires a Mac or Windows box. So that is a con. But otherwise flac and ogg and mp3 all play just fine on it now. The USB Mode is a nice feature and handy, as my media player on Ubuntu does not support MTP yet. I bought a 16gb microSDHC card and the Sansa detected it no problem, giving almost the full 16gb. The internal 8gb combined with the 16gb microSDHC card give enough space for a decent amount of music in flac format.

I use it at the gym. The sound is great, and I like the extra memory I can add to it. It has a good size screen and I am very happy it does not have a touch screen. The price was good, [...] It is a great deal!

Comments about SanDisk Sansa Fuze MP3 Player (Silver):
The unit was very easy to install music files onto. I like the fact that it can go from computer to computer adding music unlike the ipod models. Very easy to navigate through songs or playlists. Can use it one handed while riding my Harley or snowmobile. Overall it has been a great product.

Comments about SanDisk Sansa Fuze MP3 Player (Silver):
I use my Fuze daily on a long communte in the car. The design and menus are great - I love the wheel, it's smooth and fast at getting through the menus. I use this with a Mac, and it shows up as a drive on the Mac, with no problem, but I have found it really difficult to just dump MP3s on and then find them on the Fuze. I have found a piece of shareware to kind of clean up the metadata (and remove the ._ files that the Mac creates), and most of my MP3s show up as "unknown" for the artist. Playlists are difficult to make. I used to have a Creative Zen, and found a piece of shareware to make it pretty easy to work with iTunes, but it's not as easy with the Fuze. A bit of a fuss factor that I don't have time to deal with it.

Comments about SanDisk Sansa Fuze MP3 Player (Silver):
This Mp3 player is intuitive, easy to load music on, and ready to go, right out of the package. Plus, you just can't beat the price. I-what? The only downside (which is trivial) is that the earphones are too big to fit in my ears and I will have to buy some earbuds to get better sound.

Comments about SanDisk Sansa Fuze MP3 Player (Silver):
I bought this sansa as a gift for my 16 year old son and he filled it up immediately. I bought the 8gb micro for extra memory and he filled it up too. Seems to be enjoying his Fuze. You can find all sorts of accessories for it.
