Customer Review: A perfect mp3 player for those who just want to listen to music
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this mp3 player a week after it first came out. It's been at least two years since then and I haven't regretted the purchase once. Originally, I had a generation 2 iPod which was stolen and had to be replaced. I had never really liked the iPod (personal preference) but I loved the Sansa 240.
If you are looking for a simple mp3 player that you just want for listening to music, this is the one for you. You can shuffle the music; play music by artist, genre, album, or song (as long as you have working ID3 tags); listen to the radio; and record voice (I haven't had any need to try this feature). Apparently you can also put pictures and view it from the tiny screen, but I haven't had any need to try and see if it works. If you press the select button while a song is playing, the screen will show the album art (if the ID3 tags are correct).
Perhaps the best thing is that you can expand the music capacity since there's a micro SD card (SDHC won't work since this mp3 player came out before them, so the memory expansion is limited in that respect).
I have a few complaints, but none of them really marred my experience with this mp3 player (and so didn't bump down my rating). The shuffle feature is faulty. Sometimes, in one sitting, a song will come up multiple times. Also, the mp3 player seems to prefer starting on certain songs (many times, the same song would be the first one it played when I turned it on). The battery icon cannot always be trusted. I've been able to get hours of use off my c240 even when the battery icon said it was nearly empty. I would have liked the ability to create more than just one playlist.
The battery life is OK -- I've taken the Sansa on road trips of up to 8 hrs and there's been no problems.
It was smaller than my old iPod so it was easier to take with me to the gym yet it still has a screen unlike the shuffle. I put it in a protective cover and attached a lanyard and it was perfect. The only reason I'd consider buying another mp3 player anytime soon is for more storage of music. I have no interest in watching videos or playing games on my mp3 player, so for a no-fuss-no-muss mp3 player this is a great one!
