Re: SanDisk Sansa e200 Series MP3 players.

[Brandon Hicks]

Hi,
I bought one of these units. I'll tell you about my experience with it.
The only software I installed, I don't remember if there was any more or 
not was the Sansa Updater. Other than that, I'd grabbed a PDF of the 
manual which was accessible and found out how to get it off MTP into MSC 
or mass storage mode. It was a fairly decent player, except for the fact 
that the wheel is rather fiddly. It's not solid, and one physical click 
of it doesn't necessarily mean only one movement.
A few days after I got mine, the updater killed it. I took it back to 
BestBuy and bought an IAudio X5.
The good news for you, if you're thinking about getting one, is that 
Rockbox is now supported on the Sansa E200 models, as long as they're 
not the R series. If you can get just an E250 260, 270 or 280 you can 
run Rockbox on it and have fully spoken menus and file names, better 
recording and more format support.

Hi Jim and listers,

Well, this was my experience with this product. I can hope that it was
just my bad luck and or lack of patience, and that it will be much nicer
for someone else, but, in my experience it was not especially friendly:

The price per unit was around $90, a really attractive price for what
this promised to be. The physical size and apparent layout seem very
nice. The model I was interested in played video and had a 2gb capacity.

But to change anything in the setup of the unit, you had to use the
software and it was not at all accessible. I could not get past the open
screen or access the cd to get at some alternate setup program. 

The Sansa is set to come up in a special music mode (I forget the
precise letters) which interfaces with windows media player. I couldn't
get wmp to announce what it was finding on the unit so that kinda turned
me off.

There's supposed to be a way to set the unit to work in a more general
mode where it appears as a usb drive, but I believe that had to be set
via the software. So, around it went.  

Unfortunately, I had to return the product.


Regards,
js
