  • it's really hard to get videos to work on this thing. I figured out wmv is about the only format sansa media converter will allow even though i was told mp4 and avi will work too..strange.

  • I need sansa multimedia video converter ,send it to me if any one have. shahnazskt@yahoo.com.

  • How someone can call a video of themselves holding a product -- with no sound or text at all -- a "review" is beyond me ...

  • where is the sound??

  • Could you please tell me if this player supports Apple Audio? Or only mp3 files? I would like to hear if it handles audio files ripped in AAC with Itunes!

    Hope somebody can help me. I am thinking about to buy that player too.

  • I have a Sansa e260. I'm not sure how much they've changed, but I can tell you that AAC will not work on this thing.

    MP3, WMA and one more (I forget) ONLY!

  • mine lasted for like 4 years, preety good

  • Hey guys i need your help. I recently dropped my sansa e280 in the toilet (yes i know, I'm an idiot) and was wondering if anyone knew how to fix it. It won't turn on or charge. Thanks.

  • Its probably rewind.

  • probably buy a new sandisk player. They're really cheap!

  • how u put the cover of the mixtape like that

  • What's the difference between Sansa e-series (for example e280) and the Sansa Fuze system? What is each for?

  • Hi! I want to buy this one for my mom. I'm from Argentina and she doesn't speak English. Is there an option to change the language so Spanish? Thanks!

  • Yes there is. I have that mp3 player, so I would know.

  • yes, it can do spanish but i wouldn't buy it, the LCD screen is really cheaply made. i've had 2 now that both had the screens crack. tech support told me it's because i put it in my pocket and they aren't meant to be carried in a pocket.

  • wut the dif between this and sansa e260

  • 8gb

  • nothing only its 4 gb the 220 is 2 gb and 270 is 6gb 280 8gb.

  • ok so i have a problem mine hase some sample songs that suck and i want to know how do i get them off i dont want them! is anyone knows how to remove them i would like it if you would reply me how to do it thanks.

  • u should be able to go to my computer-sansa device- music and then remove it by right click delete

  • I got new e280 and hook up to my laptop and transfer all songs to the e280.

    I try everything and no way I can delete all songs from e280. using WMP.

  • Yeah..dont waste your time on this POS as the software is the worst and still yet this is now an orphan. Check out their forums and u will see.

  • This thing is ok but i hate how it looks sometimes. ima get the new ipod nano

    4g 8gb instead. much better looking and suits my style better lol. ima give my dad the sansa instead. and one question........are u on the toilet?

  • ipods cost 200 bucks this is way better

  • Well, I have this one. My father gave it to me, but he didn't give me the CD with the Sansa Media Converter, so I downloaded it myself, I also downloaded Rhapsody. Both of them work just great, I' ve had this player for like one year now and it's great, no problems at all. :)

  • This device is totally a crap... dont waste your money.. i have been trying to add a playlist to this device about a year.. not succeeded yet............ this is just a junk.. just add a mp3 and play it ... nothing more...

  • Worst software comes with this device...

    Useless WMP, Sansa media converter...

    Random files.. frustrating...

  • use windows media player to create the play list and sync it to ur device

  • Is this better than the e260??

    Can't decide which one to buy

  • buy the e260 and get rockbox for it...this is no different from the e260. if anyone has questions about this or rockbox come to my account and ask!

  • I've had this since 2007 and it works great. I have only had 2 errors and they are very minor. The mp3 player froze while I was scrolling through music and I just hold the power button. It never happened again. It is really good and I have no problems with the videos. Just search Sansa Media Converter on Google and it works superb!

  • i used to have this, but it would always say 'MUSIC ERROR' and it gets ruined if you put a liquid on it. but whatever you do DO NOT BUY AN IPOD!!!!! buy the sansa fuze. ipods dont give you enough for the $200 you spend on it. no radio (unless you pay extra for it) and it has the same glitches that this one does. ipods are just in style. they dont give much. and the songs on itunes cost way too much

  • most electronic items ruin when you put liquid on it...xD rhapsody offers the same prices if not cheaper if you sign up...Also get the e280 is the best...goto costco pick up the 8GB for 100 dollars...buy yourself an 8GB mini SD card and walla you now have a 16GB Mp3 player for 100 dollars.

  • so many typos!

    buttons*

  • looking*

  • yeah ive been through that

  • ok i just bought it everythings fine..im still trying to learn how to add album art. but the one thing i dont like very much about mine are the friggin buttons..

  • dude i got mine and i wanted to know if i have to fully charge it first ?

  • how do i delete my movie!!!! HELP

  • i have this thing and i love it!

    the sansa is a great product...and i havent really had many problems w/ it

  • o thank you! finally someone agrees with me that sansa is osm! everyone thinks that ipods are better! i agree with you

  • i have the e270 6gb, great mp3 player i must add.

  • Thanks for your review, now i know : iPod only :D

  • I put the version of the Sansa software that works up on the web for you guys. I see it's not easy to come by and a Google search may not help. They post a link on Woot to download the software when they sell the refurb Sansas, but you can't get to it any other time.

    It's a long link and I can't seem to post it here, even when trying to be a little tricky.

    If you send me a private message, I'll send you a link to download the Sansa software.

  • man this is bullshit i got this fukkkkkng 280 i cant find media converter can put videos or pics this shit is fukkkkkkking frustrating does anybody have one and can u tell me how to get vids and pics pleez i buy u a six pack

  • MUZIKLUVA420... What you're looking for is Sansa Media Converter version 1.2.1.71

    There is a new version out that does not work well at all. Everyone is having sound and video sync issues with it. Google for the old one. People have had issues with it also, but you should be OK if you have the newest firmware loaded in your player from the SanDisk site. ArcSoft media converter works too, but it's not free. There's always torrents...

  • lmao noob

  • I have one of those!

    =]

  • Mine has this stupid glitch where I can't upload anymore music.

  • Ive used one before, they are no fun, not much to do..

  • How in the hell is this a review?! You stupid asses, all youre doing is holding the effing thing. ~misctube

  • i found it helpful

  • does this work with macs???

  • well i dont own a mac i use a XP :P if a mac has windows media player than it should work if you have limewire then its also perfect but this is jsut coming from me im not really sure if you ever go to wal-mart or future shop and ask to look at the box look at the thing that says requirements

  • the converter that came on the CD.

  • how the heck do u put videos on?

  • Convert the file into an mp4, its not the same as ipods.

  • HOW DO I ADD VIDEOS ON THIS THING?

  • LOL !! OFC you can use Limewire or cds to get music on it ! You only need pulg in the MP3 player and transfer from your computer to the MP3 player... And you maybe need to use a program or so to change the file typ to something the MP3 player suport..

  • do you have to buy music to put on hear or can u have limewire or songs from cds? also do the songs disapear after a mounth or how ever long of do they stay on the mp3 forever? i dont gets songs from i tunes or any where i down load them from limewire and i was curious could i put limewire songs on the mp3 player because i just ordered it and it should be here 2maro

  • do you have to buy music to put on hear or can u have limewire or songs from cds? also do the songs disapear after a mounth or how ever long of do they stay on the mp3 forever? i dont gets songs from i tunes or any where i down load them from limewire and i was curious could i put limewire songs on the mp3 player because i just ordered it and it should be here 2maro

  • its exactly like e260

  • Yayy i got the 2gb one on eBay for $25 + 10.99 shipping lol. $36.99, not bad eh?

  • lol, nice

  • well i got one for 50 dollars 4gb

  • Haha. I don't even use 4GB of space. i just cover the rest of the space with videos that i dont even watch LOL. i can easily get another 2gb card for $10 so it almost matches up.

  • so are you saying my penis is ginormous

  • lol nice one, i got a 8g as shown for only like $35 and its new and its working!

  • well my penis is ginormous and i got that for free

  • dude how u put viedos in there???????plz???

  • i found one today in the snow lol its awsome

  • does mp3 files work

  • duh.

  • does any one know how to put videos in sansa that dont come from lime wire

  • i have a sansa theyre cool right?

  • I have a SanDisk Sansa e280. Mine is version 2 and it doesn't take 15 seconds to start up. on mine it takes 5 seconds. Maybe its because its not version 1 but 2

  • could also depend on how many mb or gb you put on it

  • hat thedifferents betwween the sansa e260 and this one

  • I don't get it so your showing off? i got a e250 its no BIG deal yours is barley different

  • I got the same piece of shit yo its fucking worthless it freezes only the blue light turns on...

  • It has a 15 second startup time. Get some patience.

  • Well yours might; mine only needed 8 seconds to start up... Now when I turn it on,only the scroll wheel lights up it doesn't even turn off only unless you take the battery out

  • Did you buy a refurb?

  • theres berely any diff between my e250 and your e280 but i see it has improved in some ways

  • Me and my friend are still having problems putting videos in this mp3 player/ every time i put it in any pc and try to transfer videos to the player it will just say error/ and somebody told me that you need a media converter to do so/ anybody with some helpful info please reply A.S.A P.

  • just go to the Sansa website and get the NEWEST converter. if you get an old one it will work. At least not with the e280.  It's pretty glitchy for me but it works......usually.

  • my friend has this same mp3 player but he cant seem to put videos on his player it will just say error each time. help on this topic would be appreciated thanks please reply

  • i can't help but same happened to me. I returned it for ipod nano. Much better. mine wouldn't even be recognized in the converter software.

  • That's because you had the wrong version of the converter for you Sansa.

  • did he use the sansa media converter?

  • seriously.........

    i have an e260

    and i don't see the difference between the 2

  • this just has 2 more gb of memory. all of the e200 line are the same but the numbers correspond to amount of memory. e280 for 8gb, e260 for 6gb, e240 for 4gb, and e220 for 2gb

  • this is what i thought... but mine is a e270, and has 6.0 gig's.... :S im confused

  • ok im no the sandisk site...

    it goes...

    e250= 2 gig

    e260= 4 gig

    e270= 6 gig

    e280= 8 gig

  • whats the difference between this and the e260???

  • Who buys music anyway?

    Filesharing is here to stay :)

  • I got a sansa e-260 and lost my usb and you know how the sansa usb is unique an all right. Well i called sandisk and said everyone customer get a FREE complimentry accercory and they changed there mind. Now i have to fuckin buy a new one just for the usb.

  • awsome i have 1 2!arent they so cool.its weard that people like this video like me!

  • i have tht in my hand right now.

  • sansa view is so much better

  • whats the difference between the view and this one?

  • bigger screen

    totally differnt wheel

    plays videos a lot better, because thats what its ment for unlike this one

  • I got one today for X-mas

  • Omg im getting that for chirstmas too!!!!

    WOoooooooooooOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

  • I become it to Christmas too :-D Can`t Wait

  • This isn't a review. It should be called an overview.

  • How come it is so long to start ?

  • Hmm...mine doesn't take that long to start.

  • ummmmmmmm I wan't it for my b-day but can it work on ITunes??

  • no, it only works with windows media player

  • not necessarily true. it works with any mp3 music as well as WMA. itunes just only works with ipods because it uses a weird audio format.

  • Ya that's how Apple is trying to control people, to make them buy an ipod or else you can't play your songs from itunes.

  • LOL I agree with Zinc. It's ironic... it sounds more like something Microsoft would do actually, but they don't. MAC in general is ok and I do like the ipods (style, reliability, features, etc.) but I dont own a mac (and probably wont just because it's easier to build my own PC) and dont want itunes now that you have to pay for it (so Ive heard, anyway). I just like simple drag and drop! :P

  • i bought one two days ago, it's awesome, i love it, i'm listening to it right now.. !! it's BOMBBB

  • I bought my e280 from walt mart online and I came scratched look like dust but was not and were u hook up from player to computer in the e280 dad a little crack so I retuned it and got my money back so now I am going to try out the

    SanDisk Sansa View (8GB)

  • You Probably Got A Shit One From Wal-Mart. I Recommend Circuit City Or Best Buy For The Sansa. And Warning DO NOT Leave The Charging Cord Into Your Charge Database Or The System WILL Crash. That's How My Old One Broke

  • i am sorry but what do you mean by Charge database ? Thanks.

  • A Computer Or Anything That Would Charge It. Xbox 360 PS3 exc.

  • can you download songs from any website? Free downloads?

  • yes

  • i have a samsung... and cousin has a sansa

  • does it have a speaker

  • I LOVE MY SANSA

  • yeah ur right!!! i got one yesterday!!

  • way better than the ipod

  • millz31 posted the same comment everywhere.. =P its just you millz31. my friend dropped hers down the stairs,quite a large impact, and only had a few scratches on it. i was there. really thought it was gonna break into pieces!

  • Yes this is a very good device but like millz said, the screen cracks easily, mine cracked in like 2 months after buying it and they dont want to replace it. So if you do get this be sure not to drop it because its a good device but cheap screen.

  • not a s gud as ipod or walkman tho is it

  • i think it is cuz u can replace the battery for about 20 $ unlike ipods, which u have to send it back, and if you don't have the warranty, its like $200

  • i bought that yesterday

  • is it good?

  • on the day i went to by my zune a person from my school was there too she came because it was graduation day anyway she wanted an ipod nano but her mom tried to make her get this since its cheaper

  • its good, but my screen cracked very easily (after 40 days) and they wont replace it under warranty, even though its a cheap plastic part that would cost them 10 cents... now here i am giving them a bad review, noobs!

  • great video quality, but it's not really a review, is it?

  • So the only diffrence between sansa and the sansa rhapsoty is the rahpsoty channels

  • yeah exactly

  • i have been wondering what is the diffrence between the regular Sandisk Sansa e200 series and the Sandisk Sansa e200 series Rhapsoity

    They have the same features and are the same price

  • Original has Music,Radio,Videos,photos,sett­ings,voice,and sd expansion slot.20 hours of battery.

    Rhapsody has

    Music,Rhapsodychannels,Radio,V­ideos,photos,settings,voice,an­d sd expansion slot.20 hours of battery.

  • Mine is the Rhapsody version. looks better than the original.

  • they look the same. The menu is the only diffrent thing betwwen the two

  • Level with us, are you on the toilet?

  • i like it ..but i like the ipod too! :):P hahah

  • im going to sell my ipod nano 8gb 2nd and to buy a sandisk sansa

  • Level with us, are you on the toilet?

  • is that a bathtub in the back?

  • uh a review is different , u didnt even talk but still i want a sansa!!!:P

  • Sansa has the best tech support in existence. They are replacing my e280r with a new one because they accidently made me download a corrupted firmware fix.

  • That is so sweet. I think I'm going to give the Sandisk company more of a chance!

  • That wasn't a review. That was "playing" with a sansa.

  • you gotta switch the usb mode to get album art

  • i want a sansa so badly *sniff* it looks totally better than an ipod (whoa..don't jump me, that's my opinion) soon enough, i'll get my hands on one. 200$ is like way too much for an mp3 player. a few years back you could buy a whole game system for that much. *sighs* the good old days. now everything's too expensive.

  • yup. ps2 was 330 when it came out.  now the ps3 is 600.

  • The PS2 was 330?! I bought mine like a week after it came out for like $360! Hmph.. I don't like Best Buy now, But I'm still gonna buy stuff from there. =P But it took like 10 whole seconds to turn on after you pressed the button. =[

  • this is a piece of crap dont get im returning mine after 1 day cause i found out the rhapsody took up almost half the memory

  • Dont return it. Its SUPER easy to delete the Rhapsody stuff off your player. I did. Just open it up on your computer, right click, delete. Learn a little about the player before you just give up on it.

  • u have to delete the stuff no mp.3 or mp.4 player comes with the full memory some memory is always taken up by files they come with

  • how do you get the album art on there? my computer says its there but its not showing it

  • HOW DO GET THE VIDEOS ON THE SANSA

  • with the software on the cd ;)

  • That really helps not

  • Install the Sansa Media Converter, and look up your guide! =P

  • 1. you need to install latest firmware.

    Make sure to read instructions.

    2.You need to use the Sansa drag and drop software.

    3.drag and drop your video into it, and it will convert it and store in your Sansa.

    Tip: Videos are split up into 10 minute sections. To lengthem the time, open the scandisk_e200_MCS.APR file and change the SplitTime=600 to something Higher.

    But remember it doesnt have rewind or fastforward.... yet.

  • thanks for the video

  • Pity the music is on loan. Service shuts down, bye-bye music.

  • who the fuck buys music just pirate it lol

  • THANK YOU. Do You Guys Know That All You Gotta Do Is Make A Playlist On Limewire And Transport It To Windows Media Player

  • it's easy to do a better video. Especially if this...is the standard

  • lets see you do a better video. Shut the hell up. Nice Video, i love my sansa same one. 8gb

  • stupid.video..
