Better value than iPod - more features for less money

by Rav 2008-08-19, 69 people found this review helpful

The SanDisk Fuze is a great MP3 player. The 2GB Fuze costs half the price of an iPod and has many more features and is easier to use. The Fuze has a micro-SD slot so it's expandable for more music, videos, pictures, etc. The Fuze has a digital FM radio so you can catch up on news, sports scores, and listen to radio music as well. The Fuze also has a voice recorder with built-in microphone so you just talk into the machine and verbally record memos. But the best feature...and this is what sold me on the Fuze... is that works with the ubiquitous Windows Media software found on most PCs. You simply click and drag your music from your computer's library into the Fuze file, which I find much easier than Apple's complex and propriety music file system. The iPod is an icon, and there are a zillion accessories for it, but it doesn't hold a candle to the SanDisk Fuze. Don't be a robot and follow the crowd, break yourself free and go for the Fuze. SanDisk simply makes a better MP3 player with more features for a lot less money. Whether its the very tiny Sansa Clip with 3-line display, or the Sansa Fuze with a full screen, SanDisk MP3 players are a much better value. I am very happy with my Fuze and highly recommend it.

I love it!

At the risk of repeating everyone else's reviews here, let me just say :

This is a sweet MP3 player! And I have had several over the years.

1. Windows XP recognized it immediately as a Sansa Fuze 2GB player when I plugged it into the USB port. No proprietary software is required... just plug it in and get started.

2. Use plain ol' Windows Media Player to rip your favorite songs from audio CDs and create WMP playlists, then transfer the playlists (complete with album art, even!) to the Sansa Fuze. Believe me, they could NOT have made this any easier.

3. I filled up just over 1GB of my Sansa with 88 songs each sampled at a 320 Kbps rate. And thanks to the easy navigation menus, I can find any of those songs within seconds.

I have not yet tried it's video capabilities, but I don't care about that anyway. When I'm working out at the gym, all I want is my music... and this thing as an MP3 music player is worth the price alone.

Fantastic

I did a lot of research before purchasing the Fuze. My research led me to narrow my choice to two options. One being the Fuze, the other being the IPod Nano. In the end I bought both units. The Fuze I paid cash for from Amazon, the Ipod I redeemed credit card points to obtain.
After having both for about a month now I don't understand why anyone would buy an Ipod. Other than the beautifully designed packaging and product it is the most difficult proprietary product out there. You have to use Itunes to register the unit and load music. In my case downloading Itunes messes with my Windows Media Player which I use as a player linked to a hard drive which is my in home music server. In order to fix the software conflicts between Itunes and Windows Media I had to resort to uninstalling Itunes which by it self did not solve the problem. Only after defragementing my hard drive did the problem go away.
The Sansa Fuze was so simple to load with music I was amazed. Simplily plug it in and drag and drop. It even gives you the option of specifying what type of music file you prefer (ie compressed or not). With storage expansion via card and an FM player it is fantastic.
So while I appreciate the visual design of the Ipod it is extremely over rated to me. Don't buy an Ipod unless you are only interested in looks over performance.
