Summary: it's refurbished, not new
Comment: My own 2-year-old Sansa was accidentally broken, and since I really liked the way it worked, I wanted another. Paying full-price seemed a bit high at this point, so I decided to go with a refurbished for the savings. The one I got works well, just not as good as a new one (or as good as the one I had had). There's a small problem with the volume control changing on its own, which is a continual irritant, but not life-threatening.

Summary: Great unit, great value
Comment: I was going to buy an Ipod but saw alternatives including this unit, and decided to give it a try. The unit performs as advertised and with all its additional features is a great value. It's easy to use, loads quickly and performs impeccably.
Other reviewers have commented about the lack of an AC charger or other accessories, but I purchased an AC charger, car charger, silicon (perfectly fitting) case and arm band from among the listed accessories at Amazon for unbelievably low prices.
One issue, though, is that using Windows Media Player with Vista has a couple of glitches. Artwork (album covers) doesn't sync, although Sandisk tech support apparently has a work around. More problematic is that the music library synced to the unit won't display on Windows Media Player, and tech support told me it's a glitch with the Windows Media Player Software. I found by changing a default setting (sync all upon connecting) this can easily be overcome, and gave the fix to tech support to disseminate.
I recommend this unit highly!

Summary: The kid liked so I guess that's good
Comment: Good value for the price. A little annoyed with the restart everytime I unplug it from my system and the transfer program can use a little work. But real nice and easy to use.

Summary: Lives up to the bad reputation--BEWARE.
Comment: Worked great at first. But after about six months, the hard drive started having serious errors. I contacted Sandisk, who tried several "fixes" to get it running again, but it was frozen and totally unusable. Since the warranty wasn't up yet, they sent a replacement.
A week after the warranty expired on the replacement Sansa, it did the same thing. I spent a week trying every fix I could find online. Nothing worked. It's gone. A little research (Google "Sansa" "refresh database" and "error" to see what I mean) showed that Sansa MP3 players have a terrible reputation for freezing up permanently, so beware! My brother received a Sansa for Christmas, and it died within 24 hours of him ripping off the wrapping paper.
According to reviews, and asking sales reps which players get returned the most (the Sansas, they said), I recommend a Sony Walkman MP3 player instead. Some are compatible with Rhapsody, work with audiobooks, and have a terrific sound and beautiful display for a fraction of the price of a Sansa (just buy it at Walmart... it is $30-40 cheaper than Amazon.)
