 Great for the priceSep 06, 2010
I purchased this a couple of weeks ago and have been very happy with it so far. First, it is simple to use. After a few hours I got the hang of it and found the menus and overall operation pretty straight forward. I got the most recent firmware update for it and that was simple to do as well. Some people have complained about the blue ring which is used to navigate through menus, turn the volume up/down, etc. I have no problem with it and actually prefer the tactile sensation of turning the wheel as opposed to the touch wheel on the ipod. I own a Pioneer Vsx-819 receiver that has a USB port on the front that says for ipod/iphone. I was pleasantly surprised to find that it is able to detect and play music from my Sansa with no problems. A simple on-screen menu lets you navigate through the artists, songs, etc. A great feature of the E260 is the option of adding up to a 16G memory card through the slot on the side of the device. Theoretically this can expand the memory from about 1000 songs to about 5000 songs. Overall, very pleased with it.
Great sansa playerAug 21, 2010
I have hadmy sansa for a few years and now I bought my husband one. It is reliable, easy to use and sound is great!
 Functional but occasionally frustratingAug 05, 2010
This was the first mp3 player I bought and I have had it for over two and a half years now. One of the reasons for purchasing it was the micro SD expansion slot so I could expand the memory. However, the 4GB memory has proved enough for me. It enables me to have a wide selection of my favorite songs which I occasionally add to or subtract from. The battery life is excellent. I often use the player for voice recordings and while the quality is not brilliant this is a useful function.
My major complaint is the action of the scrolling wheel and central button. I find the scrolling wheel doesn't work well. Sometimes the volume goes up when I am trying to turn it down or it scrolls down when it should be scrolling up. Even worse on several occasions I have lost recordings I have made because the action of the buttons haven't worked properly and deleted the recording instead of saving it. Another problem is the display of song titles. Many of the songs in my collection have Chinese-language titles. The Chinese characters often don't display properly unless I set the language to Chinese.
While I haven't bought something to replace it yet, when I next purchase an mp3 player I will pay much closer attention to the buttons and how smoothly they operate.
A Quality Media Player for the $Jul 22, 2010
Pros:
1. Extremely durable - I accidentally put mine through the wash @ the laundromat triple washer yesterday. took it apart (front, back, battery, MB/LCD, and uSD card) and put it on my cable box overnight to dry. Put it together a little while ago, works fine!!! Even still has a half-full battery!
2. Bright lcd (still) - easy to read even in bright sun.
3. Long battery life - better than my old iPod Mini.
4. Works well with Kubuntu 10.04 w/Rhythmbox. Also worked fine w/Win XP Pro WMP 10.
5. Better sound quality than my iPod.
6. Voice recorder/FM Radio
Cons:
1. Only takes up to a 2GB std uSD card (non-HD).
2. Small buttons/touchy controls. The buttons are close to the wheel, so if you're not careful, you can move the wheel when you go to push the buttons, getting unexpected results (Go to select "albums" and get "artists" instead, etc.).
Other thoughts: I've owned the unit about 2 years. The front panel of the unit is actually separate from the lcd screen. It's fairly thick, so as long as nothing hits it too hard, the lcd screen should be ok. There was a review I read in which the writer complained of the lack of durability of the lcd screen. She said she bought 2 of these media players, and that shortly after giving them to her kid(s), the lcd screens "broke" after "normal use". Yeah right...
SanDisk Sansa e260 4 GBJul 19, 2010
I've had this Mp3 player for about 4 years I think. No major complaints because it still functions same as the day I received it. There have been two times when all my songs got deleted for unknown reasons. Also sometimes it loses complete function and I have to unscrew the back off and take the battery out then put it back in, goes back to working like nothing ever happened lol. Other than that it is good. I have about 50 songs on it now, few videos.
I use it every night because I have to have music playing while I sleep. So that's about 8 hours of running it straight and from a full charge only drains half the battery bar. Every day I have to charge it, so no biggie.
Wow I just noticed I actually paid the retail price of 210$. Now you can get it for 40bucks. I got burned lol but I purchased it years ago, but wow what a difference in the price since then. It's actually only worth the price that it's listed for now instead of what I paid. Good grief lol.
