- OK but lots of bugs which never get fixed!
I'm frustrated by things that never get fixed on this product. I use the Sansa View to listen to 1-hour mp3 recordings from a class I'm taking. If I pause the recording in the middle and resume later in the day (after the Sansa has powered down), the recording NEVER starts where I left it!!!!! The most frustrating thing is that I've reported this problem to SanDisk over 6 months ago and it is never addressed, even though my problem was acknowledged by their tech support.

To further complicated things, the fast forward does not accelerate, so when I need to get back to the 30th minute of the recording, I have to hold down the fast-forward button for about five minutes. I also reported this problem over 6 months ago with the same result -- acknowledged by tech support but never addressed.

With the amount of firmware updates they've made, this is clearly a product being beta tested on the customers.

- Some annoying bugs, not a good audio book player
I'm on my third Sansa View right now... The main problem that happened to the replaced two was probably heat. When left in the car (even under the cover of glove compartment), it appears that the Sansa View gets too hot and the rotation wheel expands to a degree that it detaches from the sensors inside. The same scenario happened to both of my previous Sansa Views. They were left in the car's glove compartment one day when it was a bit too hot and the rotation wheel stopped working (which renders the unit unusable). I've had other MP3 players before and had even left them on my car seat and they never had this problem.

The first issue can be counted as my fault for leaving it in the heat. But another issue with this unit is driving me crazy. I listen to audio books alot. Some of these MP3 files are 1 hour long files. Typically, Sansa View remembers the playing position and resumes the book where I last paused it or turned it off. But sometimes, it resumes the position on the wrong file (like a previous file/chapter), in which case I had to fast forward it to my "bookmark". And Sansa View does NOT have a "fast" fast-forwarding feature. I literally had to hold down the fast-forward button for several minutes. That was very annoying. Playing music is fine, but for audio books I'd try something else next time.

On the side note, I do like SanDisk's return policies and their speed in processing my two replacements. That was good.

- Almost a Perfect Music Player
First off: the only thing wrong is battery life. It runs out quickly (four hours) when set on high level with the volume turned up. The cheap cure: I bought an A/C power supply and a car charger for next to nothing. That said, here are the positives, and they are strong positives. Size is perfect for my large hands. The wheel works perfectly, the screen is bright and incredibly detailed. Audio quality is excellent. The unit has a custom EQ which is easy to reset. I especially like the fast on and return to last played feature. Memory--8 gig is a whole lotta music! Really it is. Set up and download using WMA files is wickedly fast. Of course there is also the FM tuner, which grabs stations from Miami easily (I live in northern Broward County). This unit, when attached to my home system, is easily CD quality. I use this mostly in my car and office, and though not a headphone freak it sounds excellent with the supplied ear buds. Also sounds good played through my Altec Lansing im600 dock. Sansa deserves a lot of praise for this unit. It seems well-built, feels solid in the hand. I had some work finding the right holder for it--I bought a Body Glove cell phone carrier with an elastic strap that puts the earphone jack on the side of the strap--very convenient. While I have only had it for a month and I'm still finding out new things about it, so far it's all been good.

- Decent
Well, on the plus side it has great sound and good picture the ability to expand the memory and an FM radio(iPods don't have this feature). The downside it that the screen has a somewhat greasy look. This doesn't show very much during movies but it is a bit annoying. The screen scratches very easily so I would reccomend a case. When watching a movie, sometimes the whole thing freezes up and you have to turn it off and back on again. This is not horrible but it does get on your nerves after a while. The spin wheel is awesome ( I like it much better than the iPods because the spin wheel actually moves on the Sansa View). The whole thing is very easy to use and very user friendly. Overall this is a good product.

- decent player if you don't touch it.
This player looks good, sounds good(when you get its eq settings right) and has expandable memory. Thats the good stuff. Its big color screen has a habit of locking up whenever you press a button. It will show album art of a previously played song,and the title shown may or may not be the correct one playing. It also likes to freeze up when you press a button rendering all further inputs inoperable till it unfreezes. It also likes to list all songs stored on the memory expansion card twice, and includes album art in with your pictures. I've downloaded every firmwire update and still have these problems. But, if you just leave it sit and play on shuffle mode it makes a fine jukebox.
