 Sansa e280Sep 12, 2009
Second unit owned after dropping one in Salt Water. Great capacity, solid feel and easy to use. Battery is easily replaced. Works easily with Windows, files can be loaded via file manager as a removable hard drive or via Windows Media player.
 SanDisk Sansa e280Sep 09, 2009
This was the second SanDisk I puchased - one for use for home/gym and the other for work. I really liked the first SanDisk I purchased, so I purchased a second. However, it appears that the second player did not have all of the features of the first player e.g. I cannot delete a song from the player, I have to use the computer. Also, using the play list on the second player is not as user friendly as the first player - just little quirks - I had expected the same features on both.
Good product for a good priceAug 28, 2009
I wanted an mp3 player that was not beholden to proprietary sources of music, one that had a lot of space on it, and one that was not too expensive. In this Sandisk Sansa e280, I got all my wishes. With 8 gigs on board it can hold quite a lot of music, which is my main use for it. As I was shopping for this, I noticed it was one of the less expensive choices, yet the reviews are positive. This is a case where inexpensive does not mean cheap or poorly made. It is small, lightweight, with a long-lasting battery. It comes with earphones, but probably most people would want better ones than those that are bundled.
Great little mp3 playerAug 02, 2009
I bought my Sansa about a year ago now, and I have been more than happy with it. It's a lightweight, durable little player that has withstood quite a beating from me and is still running great.
Pros:
-Long battery life. I can go for a few weeks without charging it (though I don't use it continuously). Also, the removable battery is a nice feature.
-Lightweight. It is super lightweight, and fits in any pocket comfortably. It's easy to forget it's there!
-Filetypes. The player accepts pretty much any audio filetype you throw at it.
-FM radio/voice recorder. This is a feature that is really handy to have, and one that some companies have never incorporated into their players.
-Rugged. I've dropped this thing more times than I can remember, and there's still hardly a scratch on it.
-Memory. The 8GB of memory is plenty to keep a good representation of any music library on it. And if that's not enough, the microSD slot make expanding it up to 24 GB super easy.
-Windows. The player is super easy to use with Windows. Just plug it in, and it is automatically detected.
Cons:
-Interface. The interface isn't as intuitive as an iPod's. Scrolling through long lists of songs or artists can be tiring, as the scroll speed doesn't increase the longer or faster you spin the scroll wheel.
-Linux. Trying to sync with Linux is slow, and not immediately available.
-USB charging. The lack of an AC wall charger is annoying on long trips when no USB is available. However, the long battery life pretty much makes up for this.
-Headphones. The included Sansa headphones are terrible. Look into getting a new pair. I'd suggest the Sony Fontopia headphones.
-Proprietary plug. Much like the iPod, the Sansa has a proprietary cable that only works with the Sansa. If you lose this, you're SOL.
I purchased my Sansa for $75 on clearance. It was easily one of the best $75 purchases I have ever made.
The WHole Family Has OneJul 21, 2009
It started out my younger sister got one. It was a e280 v2, which if you don't already know IS A DOWN GRADE! Hers worked for a while but now files are all screwed up. (That is the only reason my review isn't five stars).
But then my dad got a refurbished e280 v1 which works great. Then I got one and I love it. PS: I never useed the converter so this does not rate it.
Pros:
-Small
-Easy to use
-Held ALL my songs (1300 of them plus a video and pictures)
-You can get a chip to add more room
-Worked great in WIndows Media
-The metal back protected it for my many drops
-A cover and screen protector were cheap
-Has lasted a year so far
Cons:
-In v1 you cannot delete songs on device (v2 you can)
-You cannot turn down wheel brightness so at night it blinds you
-I will admit FM radio is a little hard to change stations
If you are having trouble with yours here are some tips:
1. If the screen goes grey and you are stuck or it is frozen hold down power button until shuts off (Note: this could take 10-30 seconds)
2. If you cannot view your files in WIndows Media player and it won't delete on device follow this link to delete files or just tell us how you did it:

If that link did not work here is also how you delete unwanted files:
_________________________________________________________________________
I have a refurbished SanDisk/Sansa e280 player. I was trying to delete duplicates but my device would not let me. And in my Windows Media Player it would not show the files on the device. Here is what I did and it worked for me:
1. Plug device into USB
2. Went to my Computer
3. Under Other I clicked Sansa e280
4. When in the in, there was only one icon PPI NAND which I clicked
5. You now have acces to everything on device, I went in and deleted a video and by going through the Music folder I deleted my copies.
CONS:
I could not change file names once downloaded
Hope this helps you!!!

3. Do not delete presets just scan over them. Saves time.
4. Check blogs. Most likely somebody else had the same problem
5. Do NOT unlpug from computer then plug it back in real fast it WIIL cause it to freeze. Then follow hint 1.
Hoped this all helped!!!
