SanDisk Sansa View (16 GB) Digital Media Player

Perfect size to watch at work. I have about 15 complete movies and 2 gig of music on it rigt now. Battery life is a little short, (about 2 movies)but charges quickly with USB. Great sound with a good set of headphones. Good Job SanDisk!!

Before this I purchased a Sansa e280, I loved it. However it's video playing capabilities were quite lacking. This however plays both wmvs and MPEG-4s which get truly great levels of compression yet still good quality. The player is tough and very nice too look at.
I was able to snag an 8gb one for $90, now looking to buy an 8gb micro sdhc card to double my memory! Can't do that on an ipod can ya :)

I looked at the iPod and other players before landing on this one. Within an hour of downloading music, the screen froze and it would not respond at all. I tried tunring it off and back on many times. I tried charging it. Nothing worked.

The next day it worked fine. That lasted a week. Then it stopped playing again...none of the songs would play...just a "Bad Track" error on the screen. I decided to return it and try again.

The second one came out of the box tonight and would not play music out of the left ear bud unless you twist it or put slight pressure where the ear buds plug in.

I am returning this one tomorrow and likely going to the iPod. I liked everything about this player more than the iPod when I was trying it out at the store. Unfortunately, the quality does not seem to match the features.

I have emailed SanDisk to see if they care.

Product is awesome. Especially with its option of adding extra memory with the SD slot. I made mine 24GB of full entertainment. I recommend this product. The screen is not small at all and it has a built in FM Radio. You can't beat Sandisk. Keep up the great work!

I've chosen to champion the Sansa Digital Media Players. I won't pay the IPod prices and I dislike all the priority that is placed on IPod accessories.
The Sansa MP3 players are dependable & easy to use. I can download audio books & music from my favorite web sites to my computer, then transfer them to my MP3 players. I have 3 of them. All three work well and continue to do so. Their prices were reasonable. I'm a happy listener!

After happily having a Sansa e280 for about 4 years, I decided to get something that it would be more advanced in technology plus more memory capacity, I bought a 16 gigs Sansa View. To my amaze I wound up getting an unit that really surprised me with a very poor performance. Except for the sound, witch is great, it continiously frezes up to the point that volume and other adjustments are impossible to be corrected, let along that every time I turned the unit on it takes some time before one can start listening to the music, caused by "refreshing data base". None of these issues happen to my Sansa e280 not even with an extra 16gigs SD card pluged in to the SD card slot!.So I'm really disappointed with a unit that seems to have a technology far behind the e280!!. I would definitelly recomend anyone, staying away from buying this particular model.

It was an smooth transaction. I was even offered insurance. Fast shipment and the item was in the conditions described.

I have only owned Sansa Sandisk players because they are easy to use. They have freezing problems at times. I have had to send them back for replacements to manufacture with complete cooperation. The View is the only one that I would not recommend because of the battery life but I like the slim design. I have purchased various models for my family and everyone loves them. The Sansa updater is very important to keep the format current. Utilize the Sansa website and technical support for any assistance.

This is a great product design to do what is suppose to. The only thing a playlist function so I can create my own custom playlists. That is the only down side to it

PROS:
Overall the device is very sleek and beautiful and is very easy to navigate, however, if you have a lot of music on there, the song properties must be properly set for you to find everything.
Roller wheel works like a dream.
Screen is beautiful for photos and videos look great, as well.
The ear buds it comes with are quite good, but the true sound quality (which is top notch) won't be experienced unless you buy higher-end ear buds. I still use the ones it comes with. You probably won't find a need to buy new ear buds.

CONS:
THE FREEZING...that's it's only glitch. When you want the device to randomly play all and you have over a thousands songs in there, it will continue to play all your music, but your access to volume, skip track, EQ, etc., will become very limited.

Thanks AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Product is easy to use, software is easy to find and download. Large memory, allowed me to download my entire music library as well as several videos. My only complaint is that the SanDisk uses a proprietary connection to the USB. My kids have 1GB sansas that use standard USB. All around the product is excellent, has great battery life and on screen display is easy to use with great resolution. Sansa is also the only MP3 player I have seen with a Micro SD expansion port. I can double the memory of the device with a Micro SD card. A definite buy!!

Never received it. Can't say. It has been over a month. Bad company. If SanDisk Sansa lets people represent them in this manner, I'm thinking I do not want one. In defence of SanDisk, I do not know if they are partners. I would still like to try the media player. But would not buy it on line.

I had a View that died and Best Buy gave me a Zune as "quote unquote-like tecchnology" to replace it as the 8gig View was being discontinued. Turned out the Zune didn't have the recording feature which was one of the things I liked about my View. I was not comfortable with the Zune, I found great deals on 16gig View and ordered, I love the record feature and the radio plays very nice. Lots of storage. LOVE MY VIEW.

works good; prompt delivery; they seem like a good place to deal with. is this 100 characters yet??

I ordered an mp3 player on aug 26. Its sept 24 and hasn't been shipped yet. I cancelled order and will never use this company again. Demanding full refund.

I like the fact that movies will download on it in addition to songs and albums. It was a really great value! It does everything some of the more expensive brands do, for less. Why pay more! Sansa makes really good products.

This is my 6th Sansa mp3 player. The sound quality is good as is the ease of use. I gave my 7 year old grandson one and he navigate it with ease. I am looking forward to the increased hard drive for more songs and video. The best on the go palyer around. Why pay such a huge price with I-pod when this is just as good and you can get music anywhere. Syncs with any PC.

I have several Sansa MP3 players and really like them. Normally, when you add mp3's to the players, after you disconnect them, you get a message from the player saying "refreshing data". This drive give no such message and when you try to play an mp3, it says "no media". When I connect it to my computer again it shows no files, but the available disk size has been reduced by the size of the mp3s you added previously. I tried reformatting the drive, and now I had the full 16BG available, but the original problem remained.

I sent an email to the vendor but never received a reply, so I guess I have an expensive but nice looking paperweight, and am a little wiser about this particular vendor.

Received product in a rather good time. Product was in good condition with no defects. I passed the product on to a friend. She as no complaints about it. She seems to really be enjoying her Scandisk mp3 player.

i think that this is the best mp3 player i have ever seen. i have even helped friends buy one and they loved it also

Great Mp3 player, easy to use, long life battery, refurb was brand new!! Bought it because of refurb price. Excellent value!!!

Very good transaction, only one complaint about the product. The product does not come with the plug needed to recharge it. Otherwise the product is in excelent condition and was received in good time.
