Excellent sound quality, easy to use. You can play music and still go back and resume an audiobook. The fast forward works very well also. By holding the forward button in it will speed up and quickly take you through a book section if you do happen to lose your spot.

I bought an mp3 player because I was tired of carrying CDs everywhere with me. I really didn't want to mess with iTunes. My cell phone has the capacity to use microSD chips to expand memory, and I really wanted this option for my mp3 player, too. Finally, I wanted it to be EXERCISE portable...small enough that I didn't have to worry about it bouncing around when I ran. This little device has delivered all of this and more. It's no bigger than a credit card, and no thicker tahn a pencil. I purchased an 8 GB microSD card for a total of 16 GB of memory. That's a LOT of music! microSD's come with more memory than this, of course, so options are pretty flexible. AS with any portable device, I recommend using a screen protector and silicon skin. Fortunately, there are good accessory packages for the Fuze available on Amazon, so I picked everything up together. The package included and arm band, so it's very easy for me to pack my tunes wherever I go. What I didn't expect was the great sound quality. I've used both the earphones that come with the Fuze, and a Skull Candy set. I'm happy with the sound from both, although I use the latter set almost exclusively now. Battery life is great...I've never run it down all the way, and I'll listen to it sometimes for

I purchased this player because my daughter has one and she loves it. Now I love it too. So far I haven't had any problems with it. I would buy it again.

I had this player for less than a year when it started to crack on me. The buttons started to freeze so they can no longer be moved any direction. With this failure I can not choose any more different functions or another song.
From SanDisk homepage it seems that I am not the only one experiencing low reliability with this product

I bought the Sansa Fuze 8GB Silver, with an additional 8GB media card, for my husband. He had been using the Pioneer Inno for MP3 play back for outdoor hiking, trail walking, and the gym (obvious poor XM reception areas). He is really, REALLY happy with the Fuze as it provides virtually continuous music through custom playlists and additional media cards.
This is the way he uses it:
* Did not download Rhapsody (he doesn't need, nor like it)
* Does not use nor like "MP3" audio codec (see later bullets)
* Did download "MediaMonkey" free version for all copying, file storage and sync functions of music and playlists ([...])
* Does rip, copy, and store all of his music media using MediaMonkey - FLAC - Free Lossless Audio Codec - Compression Level 6
* Does not use the "system" sync function. He only syncs what playlist(s) he has made and stored in MediaMonkey (this keeps a lot of the unnecessary noise from using space)
* Has made various playlists of most genres of his music, now using his 4th 8GB media card
* Uses the Sansa Fuze in his truck (through the Inno setup), on our home stereo (through the Inno setup), at the gym, and everywhere else outdoors.
* Only uses the Fuze for his "playlist(s)" music functionality.
Sure the Sansa Fuze has a lot more functionalities than what he is using it for and if they work with the same quality as the music, well that's great. But for him, it's just about the ease and FLAC quality of the music. All in all, we would both have to say he is now a much happier "with his portable music" husband.
