Comments about SanDisk SanDisk® Sansa™ e250 2GB MP3 Player:

i had mine for about a 2-3 monthes when the stupid thing decided it didn't want to cooperate. First off the screen had this weird white light on the top half so you couldn't see, then it would start freezing up and i would have to unscrew the back to take the dumb battery out then it wouldn't let me put new songs on. the everything was just frozen. everytime i turned it on it went to the same song at the same time. i couldn't customize anything anymore. so i was pretty mad. This is my second sansa mp3 player and they both sucked. both broke within a couple of monthes. So I just Bought an Ipod nano 8gb and it has worked perfect and i am possitive i will never go back to sansa.
PS DONT BUY SANSA SANDISK MP3 PLAYERS!!!!!!

Comments about SanDisk SanDisk® Sansa™ e250 2GB MP3 Player:

ok when i bought min it came with earplugs and evrything.The only thing i hate is after 2 months i accidently carcked the screen. The screen is not tough. The case was such a dumb ripoff. I mean who uses a velvet case to protect ther mp3? well i liked it because it stored alot of my songs, it was sleek, i liked the shape, and i also like the scrolling button. The only complicated thing is putting videos on it. i kno it freezes sometimes but it is not as bad as you think. you should really get it!

Comments about SanDisk SanDisk® Sansa™ e250 2GB MP3 Player:

This mp3 player worked pretty good, although slow and difficult to setup, for a few months and then while trying to add some tunes, my PC AND my laptop wouldn't recognize it, so something quirky had happened to it. From reading the other reviews, I'd say that it's a hit or miss situation with these units.

Comments about SanDisk SanDisk® Sansa™ e250 2GB MP3 Player:

As soon as the limited 1 year warranty ran out it started acting up, it would freeze up or the batery would be full and the next hour it would run out. Then the screen quit working. I was highly dissatisfied.

Comments about SanDisk SanDisk® Sansa™ e250 2GB MP3 Player:

I've had this Sansa 2gb mp3 player for more than a year. It was working fine when I first got it but then the downloading of the music slowed down. So it takes the actual time of the song length to put it in my Sansa. And the blue scroll gets out of control even when I move it once. Which is why I put it on 'Hold' most of the time. It's okay for awhile but you can't always rely on Radioshack. I might even buy an Ipod soon.

Comments about SanDisk SanDisk® Sansa™ e250 2GB MP3 Player:

I bought this one the other day for traveling and work out purposes and absolutely love it! It is so easy to set up and MUCH cheaper than the ipod-all around.
My sister and brother in law bought this several years ago and recommended it when I went to buy my kids their ipods. I wish I would have listened to them!
I was already a subscriber to Rhapsody, so all I had to do was upgrade my membership, was no biggie at all!
I love the convenience of being able to sync it with my Rhapsody, whereas with my kids ipods, we have to have itunes and purchase each individual song.
Though, I did take the other people's advice and purchased a new pair of earbuds, as the ones it comes with aren't very good.
Also, the controls were a little confusing getting used to, but that is because I am used to the ipod.
I would DEFINITELY recommend this to anyone!

Comments about SanDisk SanDisk® Sansa™ e250 2GB MP3 Player:

This product was great for the first 3 months then it froze on me, i had a friend go in erase all my music and reload it. It worked again for a while and then it stopped allowing me to download music onto my device when there was clearly plenty of storage space left, i'm very frustrated with this mp3 player and plan on looking for something better.

Comments about SanDisk SanDisk® Sansa™ e250 2GB MP3 Player:

Since I have had it, I have had 0 problems and it is very easy to setup, Wish it had more clear instructions though. From buying it to getting 243 songs on it only took me, 30 minutes. The screen does scratch rather easy is only thing I hate. The headphones that come with it suck, Buy some good quality ones. As for comments on freezing up, Never had it once freeze on me.

WEll to all the people that complain about freezing its simply a glitch, all you have to do is press the power button 30 seconds to restart it and it will be back to normal, if people were smart enough to read the manual before returning there would be no problems.It has great sound,good headphones,great image pixel quality.Great player for people that have owned MP3's and have some experince setting them up, not any of those ipods, plain and simple this is not for STUPID people.

Comments about SanDisk SanDisk® Sansa™ e250 2GB MP3 Player:

The only time I've expericened the device freezing on me is when a "bad track" was played. When that occurred, I would remove the battery and put it back in and that was a while ago. I have lots of music on it and I'm still adding to it. I'd have to say that the Sansa e250 is pretty user-friendly for the most part. I like this product and I would recommend it to a friend.

Comments about SanDisk SanDisk® Sansa™ e250 2GB MP3 Player:

Dear Sansa e250 users,

I know this isn't a sansa forum but, I discovered that it wouldn't play any videos I had unless I changed the format. To get it to play videos, drag and drop your video on window's movie maker. then save it to your computer. after that drag the movie from your video folder and put it into the sansa media converter. It should work fine after that.

Comments about SanDisk SanDisk® Sansa™ e250 2GB MP3 Player:

I bought this player on september 2, and it worked great for about 4 months. During that time it froze up matbe three or four times but to "un-freeze" it you just have to hold the menu button for about 45 seconds and it restarts. The big problem I had with it was every few weeks it kept saying on the screen that that " Syncronise to continue your music subscription", so I did the obvious and synced it with windows media player. I'd let it just stay there plugged in for about an hour and then all my wma(protected) music files would work. Then on Jan 5 about I had the problem again where it told me to synchronize to continue the music subscription so I did and let it sync there for awhile. an hour latter I tried to play my music but nothing happened. It just said on the player to sync again so did and nothing would work.
Up to this day, about a week after I had this problem, I continue to sync with the player but whenever I try to put music on it the computer says, "error, unable to retrieve the devices certificate". I can still play mp3 unprotected files but no protected wma files, leading to the conclusion that the player doesn't work, and can't play wma files. I can still transfer photos and videos though.

Pro's- good music quality, was hopeing for better earphones, and the fm tuner was useful, good price.

I will be returning this mps player soon and will hopefully get my money back.

Comments about SanDisk SanDisk® Sansa™ e250 2GB MP3 Player:

i dont know why people keep saying it was difficult to set up. Personally i thought it was really easy. Like everyone says the only problem with it is it freezes too much, either because youre skipping songs too fast or just freezes on its own and u literally have to wait for the battery to die in order to use it again. REALLY ANNOYING!! But other than that it has great sound and a really clear picture, esp for viedeos. The problems only started maybe 4 or 5 months down the road. If you know you are not a careful preson get a DURABLE case for it!! Thats probably a big part of the reaon why it freezes on people. But anyway, despite the occasional freezing i still love it mostly it was a good price for such a great product!!

I use it everyday since I got it. Never had to freez up on me, yet. I like the fact that it also has the FM radio station & I can listen to all of my favs without popping CDs in & out of the player. The only thing I don't like is that it only holds 500 songs & it comes with 20 already. Thanks Sandisk but I like to choose my on songs.

I bought this mp3 player for my dad for christmas. I was going to be nice and set it all up for him, well that din't work to well. I figured I was just set in my old ways with my totally awesome ipod. So I gave it to him, and well the thing is a piece of *#@*! [...] Honestly this thing may have a good price tag on it, but don't let that fool you. It really is just a cheaply made mp3 player, that will not work for anything.

Never froze on me but I've had a couple mp3 players and they all FROZE on me. It's not just the brand of something....... stuff happens that's why you get warranty on everything!!! I've NEVER read a review from an Mp3 player that doesn't freeze... so I'm not shocked. This is a great mp3 player and they are ALWAYS changing and getting better so enjoy it while you can. I bought this for my dad and boyfriend for Christmas and I got free Micro SD cards so we have 4gb of storage

Comments about SanDisk SanDisk® Sansa™ e250 2GB MP3 Player:

Let me start by saying that this player has NEVER frozen up on me. Having said that, the instructions aren't real clear on how to add songs to it; they use the term "drag and drop," but I HIGHLY recommend downloading RealPlayer, making yourself a Sansa folder with the songs you want, then importing them into RealPlayer. From there, just go to Burn/Transfer, select the Sansa and sync it up. It takes a little time, but I had a lot of bad files when I tried to drag and drop. Having said that, the sound quality is good, controls are easy to understand, and if you have the ability to convert your files to WMA format (64K) you can get a LOT of music on this player. I use it every single day, play the heck out of it, and it works GREAT, especially for the price tag. No problems here.

Comments about SanDisk SanDisk® Sansa™ e250 2GB MP3 Player:

After having this mp3 player for about a year and a half, the battery needs to be replaced. A new battery costs about $20 plus shipping and handling but is VERY difficult to find a store that carries it (actual store or online) and the battery is often out of stock.From the beginning, I have felt that this mp3 player is cheap. It has frozen on me multiple times and now that the battery is very low, it has started deleting my songs!The radio feature is nice because recorded music is always new and up to date. This is my favorite thing about this product. However, the mp3 player is not worth the money. A new version, such as the Sandisk Sansa Connect, seems to have many needed improvements, is made a lot less cheaply, and is only about $40-$50 more expensive.

So then I connect it to the computer and all the songs where there so then I put one song in I turned on went to the music but then I asidently cliked on some other song that apierd there and the thing got ridiciolus it started to turn off and turn on fading out and in, I took off the battery then on it still did the same thing!I went back and got A REFOUND!

Comments about SanDisk SanDisk® Sansa™ e250 2GB MP3 Player:

I am thrilled with the ease of using this MP3 player. I purchased a different brand before and it was thin plastic, very flimsy and the foreign language to english translation instruction book left a lot to be desired. Bought this one, took it home, hooked it up and within minutes I was on my way. Absolutely love it!

Comments about SanDisk SanDisk® Sansa™ e250 2GB MP3 Player:

Awesome player. Had mine for about a week now. It did freeze up once, but that's only because I tried to do too many functions at once. Just press/hold down the Menu button for about 15-20seconds and it will reboot. I'm not a fan of earbud headphones, which come with it, but plug in a pair of Sony digital monitor headphones (any model) and a whole new world opens up. Mainly using this for music and radio at work. On a fully charged battery, I played it non-stop for 10hrs switching from radio to songs, and still had half a battery charge to go. I already had a Rhapsody membership and upgraded to the To Go membership to get the full benefit of this player. Already loaded in about 225 songs in the MP3 format. (WMA format is also available). Radio tuner is crisp and clear. Eventually I might take advantage of the video functions, but keep in mind all this takes up memory. At least this player comes with a slot for adding in more memory easily. Also, you can find accessories for this player at [...], or other reputable places on the web. Recommend SanDisk's website for any other isssues. Believe me, this player is DEFINATELY worth the investment !!! Go ahead and get it if you're still on the fence about it

Comments about SanDisk SanDisk® Sansa™ e250 2GB MP3 Player:

This MP3 is pretty handy!! You can watch videos, put picutes up, listen to music, listen to Radio, and record stuff! Unfortunately it's alitle heavier than other MP3 players and harder to find cases for. Also the ear phones are alittle too big tha hurts your ear. Also the scrolling thing alittle hard to use because it's too smooth that it's hard to get a grip. But other than those it's a pretty handy player!

Comments about SanDisk SanDisk® Sansa™ e250 2GB MP3 Player:

I have the rhapsody version and I love this mp3. It is my first music player and i think it was a better choice than the infamous "ipod". I also got WAY more features; radio, pictures, video, free rhapsody service for 2 months. I couldnt ask for more and for such a low price. It does get stuck because a sudden change from music to a video but a reset will do it. It just takes patience but for this price i am willing to do almost anything. Unlike the ipod which you will have to hear the same song over and over and over (i think you get my point)or waste money on some tuner, i can choose to listen to the radio.

An excellent player, built like a rock. Also the RockBox team has developed alternative firmware for this player so if you're a geek and love your ogg audio collection (or any other open format for that matter) this player+RockBox are an awesome team.

Comments about SanDisk SanDisk® Sansa™ e250 2GB MP3 Player:

Once I got the update online, the Sansa performed superbly(before it would freeze ocassionally,..to remedy ...remove cover and reset by removing the battery and then putting it back in).Takes a charge better if you use the msc mode in the USB under settings.When charging off computer, before removing, click on "safely remove hardware" icon when in msc usb mode.
I dropped the player into the toilet the other day and I quickly removed it ,but come on it fell in!Amazingly,...after removing the cover and battery, blotting everything dry ,and then blowing and sucking thru the portals to remove any more"water" ,I let it sit for 2-3 hrs...and "voila!" It worked and continues to work.Bought some Lansing Altec Ext Speakers w/ sub woofer for 24.88 and it is the perfect dorm stereo.I love my Player!!

This thing is perfect for those who wish to be something other than pod (ipod)sheep. The FM reciever gives you a good signal. The voice recorder also doubles as a radio recorder and thats great for anyone who use to record new songs off the radio(aka the cassette tape era). It even has a micro sd c
