Great entry level MP3 player

I have been waiting in the shadows for a long time during the whole MP3 revolution. First I thought I wanted an Ipod; they seemed cool and my step-brother has one that he likes. They're really expensive though... So, hmm...

My sister wanted a Creative Zen player because it could directly upload CDs from a CD player... But there's not a whole lot of information available on those.

I still hadn't made my mind up until my mom and I went out shopping for Christmas and got one of these Sansa players for my step dad. I looked at his and it seemed like a pretty good device. After the new year I started using a certain music program that was compatible with Sansa and found a c240 on Ebay for $30. I figured, that seemed like a heck of a deal and a good place to start my MP3 journey.

Mine came in the mail a couple weeks ago and I've really enjoyed using it. It's really compact, like a little candy bar. I have a laptop where I store my music and transfer to the player, so I have little complaints about charging via USB or difficulty of loading songs onto the c240.

Also, I'm just interested in music, so I don't know much about having photos on there. The album covers that show up when you select a new artist aren't the clearest images, so I don't imagine photos would look terrific on it. But like I said, that doesn't phase my judgement of the product. The sound quality is very good, the storage is excellent for the price and I look forward to adding more SanDisk products to my MP3 player collection in the future!

Sansa c240

This is a great product. The unit is compact, light, and the sound quality is excellent. For the price it is hard to pass. I wasted a lot of time looking for a better deal or product before purchasing this unit. I would have given it five stars if the menu and storage methods were a little easier to use. Having said that this is my first mp3 player. Overall I am impressed with the Sansa c240.

Nice Player, Hard to read display

The Sansa player is fairly simple to use, compact, and easy on the battery. So far, I've got 31 1-hour sermons on it, and I could get another 20 or so. My only real complaint is that the display colors cannot be changed for more contrast. It is very difficult to see what is being selected, and that's not a good thing when trying figure out what's next while practicing poor driving habits. It recharges its battery while attached to the computer via USB. A different charging mechanism would be nice, but that's nitpicking.
