I do have to say, SanDisk really knows how to make a stylish flash drive. Although it is a bit flimsy... The transfer speeds are also lame.

Oh well, this one is just for documents!

Bought 3 of these (8GB) when Microsoft added USB drive support to the Xbox 360.

details

They work great, except for the fact that they sometimes want to retract when I am trying to plug them into the 360. Keeping your thumb on the "switch" as you insert it seems to stop that from happening, though.

Here something interesting.

details

Since the new update that allows for external storage on the 360, I've been using an 8 GB SanDisk microSD card I had lying around to help ease the burden on my lowly 20 GB HDD. When I configured it, the software said it met the 360's recommended requirements and it was optimized for use with games and video, or something to that effect. The other day, I stuck in another 8 GB microSD card, this time a Kingston. This card was reported to not meet the 360 recommended requirements and it... Read more →

The problem with podcasts....

details

I've had the Fuze for a few months, and it is a nice little player. The main thing I listen to is Podcasts, with a few audiobooks thrown in every now and then. But that where my issue lies, and this is not TOTALLY the Fuze's fault, but it's by no means exempt from blame. Problem #1 (not the Fuze's fault): Is there any other podcatcher out there besides iTunes that will automatically create a playlist of podcasts based on their release date? I sometimes listen to several... Read more →

Hack to instantly and silently steal passwords, create back doors and more!

details

This USB drive is unique in that it uses U3 technology. That's what allows it to come bundled with software that starts automatically when you plug it into your Windows computer. With other USB drives this doesn't work becuase autorun isn't enabled by default. However it is enabled for CD-ROM drives. The U3 technology in this USB drive makes it look like both a regular USB drive, and a CD-ROM. This hack, dubbed the USB Switchblade, takes advantage of that technology. By flashing this...

Date modified on files

details

Has anyone figured out how to change the date modified, or for that matter the date in general on the Sansa Clips? Every time I copy pod-casts or audio-books over the date is always sometime in 2005. Any help would be appreciated.

Why no stopwatch

details

You would think these small clip-on players should be ideal for exercise. In fact, the only reason I bought it was that I didn't want to carry a phone when I was out running. That's why it boggles me why it doesn't have a stopwatch function, especially because the two other Sansa models I previously owned both had it.

Portable apps are GO!

details

Look into portable applications if you aren't already aware of them! A whole slew of programs that run under Windows from a USB flash/hard drive and leave minimal if any traces behind on the host PC. Why be frustrated by someone else's PC when you can temporarily co-opt it for your own Porpoises! (Porpoises don't have hands so they will need your help with the computer, even temporarily.)

Really want the 8GB but can't find it

details

I've came very close to getting the original Clip but never did. The lack of a micro SD slot was what held me back, so when I saw this, I had to have it, but I can't find the 8GB anywhere. I've seen the 4GB at Best Buy but that's it. I leaving for a trip on Tuesday, so retail is the only option right now. Anybody track one down at a local retail store?

Wierd volume issue when connected to large headphones

details

Hey guys, I havent googled this at all, so It might be discussed elsewhere, but one thing I have noticed with mine is that if you have some nice larger headphones (in my case, some Sennheiser 555's) connected to the clip, and try to turn the volume up, the device completely wigs out and stops playing music. Once you turn the volume back down it plays fine. Am I the only one who has noticed this?

Why I Have This Player

I have this player for FLAC. That's it. It's the best player on the market that does FLAC. I wish the other major players would get on the bandwagon and give me freaking FLAC and Ogg. The damned codecs are free.

Not recommended for podcasts, books or videos

details

The Sansa View's "fast" forward is so slow that it effectively doesn't have one. And given how long it's been since the last firmware update I'd guess that SanDisk has no intentions of fixing the problem. (Even if they were willing to admit that there is a problem to be fixed.) This is too bad as otherwise the View is a nice player, especially when purchased as a refurb.
