- Works great here
Had one for about 6 weeks and am pleased. It does what was expected; play MP3/WMA/WAV and audio books with the FM radio and recorder being sauce for the goose.

Contrary to others I've found the menus adequate and easy to navigate even with my size 12 ham-hands. Of course our 10 year old son can fly through them. Not exactly feature-rich menus, but good enough at this price point. As for the OLED: of course it washes out a bit in the sun....but then so does every digital cameras LCD I've seen, but the OLED doesn't wash out as much.

The only cons so far are that MicroSD's are too easy to eject (not uncommon with many devices) and the neck rope was too stiff.

Many have complained about it dying or locking up, sometimes recovering with a hard reset and sometimes not. In my experience this is usually due to just removing it from a computers USB port without using Windows "Safely Remove Hardware" dialog. Not doing so can cause instabilities in MANY makers devices that show either immediately or later.

- SanDisk Sansa Express 2Gb
I bought this item with a little trepidation having read very mixed reviews of the product. In the end I decided to buy it on the basis that I was looking for an MP3 player that is easy to use, compact and doesn't require any additional leads etc (which can easily be lost/forgotten). This seemed to be the only unit that satisfied this for my budget range (<$50).

I've had the unit one month so far. I should point-out that I am not an intensive user of MP3s and perhaps use mine around 2 times per week.

So far I have found it to work pretty well. It looks nice and the battery life seems fine. I used it on several long-haul flights and it seemed to last fine (the ear-plugs feel a bit unconfortable after an hour or so).

The unit has crashed on me few times (poor software I guess) but was quick to re-boot after pressing the reset button, ie. it did't particularly bother me. I haven't upgraded the firmware.

The unit seems to work well with MS Media Player - it seemed to auto-detect and worked seamlessly. I haven't bought an expansion memory card yet so can't comment on that.

The pros and cons of this unit are:

Pros:

* Cheap
* Looks good
* Compact
* Simple to use - no leads to forget/lose
* Has a radio that works!

Cons:

* Sometimes stalls (but comes back to life after a reset)
* the wiring is a bit messy - a problem shared by other units
* sound sometimes a little hissy
* menu sometimes seems a little awkward to navigate (minor complaint)
* Earphones a little uncomfortable (probably best to buy nicer ones if you plan to use it a lot)

Overall, this unit works (so far) well for me, but I'm not a big user. Keep that in mind when reading this.

- Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr...
for some reason i could not submit this review without at least 1 star rating...this product deserves -5 stars...i would not recommend the sansa express mp3 player to anyone...i have had mine for less than 6 weeks and already it is unuseable...the menu/power button has become stuck so it cannot even be turned on...i only used it 3 times a week so it failed with only 15 uses...a google search showed that other people had the exact same problem so it is not user failure but product failure...

- Stopped working after 3 days use
Worked fine for 3 days although it was irritating that you can not add folders to the data directory for storing text files etc.
Then it would not power up at all. Tried to recharge but it was dead and I sent it back. Gonna try the Creative Muvo T200 next - similar music and radio features but is supposed to be recognized as a standard HD for data transfer. Hopefully I'll have better luck with that.

- Fantastic little mp3 player
I bought this little player to use in my car to listen to audiobooks. I used to use a 5th gen iPod which I gave to my husband after I got an iPhone. It quickly became apparent that it was dangerous to use the iPhone as an mp3 player in the car since you can't even pause w/o looking at the screen. This little player filled in nicely. I've had it for about 4 months now and I'm very satisfied.

Pros:
1. Very compact and lightweight.
2. Doesn't require any special cradles, it plugs into any USB port. I've never had any problems in picking it up from other computers. (Very convenient for charging as well)
3. I don't need to look at it in order to pause or forward when driving.
4. Good sound for audiobooks. (The few times I've used it to listen to music it sounded descent as well).
5. Inexpensive. My husband thought I should buy an iPod nano or shuffle. But, both would be a lot more expensive, and the shuffle doesn't even have a screen (so I wouldn't know where I left off in an audiobook).
6. When you pause playing, after a while (~0.5 min) it turns off to save power. Next time, it resumes from the beginning of the track where you left off. So this is quite useful for audiobooks.
7. Doesn't feel incredibly fragile. I wouldn't be afraid of leaving this in my car, unlike an iPod or iPhone (if the weather wasn't too extreme).
8. Radio tuner
9. Micro SD slot (I only just got a card & haven't used it yet, so I don't know how well/conveniently it works)
10. You can record voice notes
11. Menu system on device strait-forward & easy to use

Cons:
1. Windows media is not as easy to use as iTunes. So, syncing is a little harder.
2. Shuts off too quickly. I haven't seen any options for changing this.

All in all, this is a great, handy little player. I would definitely recommend!
