The good: The SanDisk Sansa Fuze is supercheap and nicely compact; it comes in a variety of colors and has an expansion slot that accepts microSDHC cards. Plus, the battery life for both music and video is very good. The bad: The Sansa Fuze uses a proprietary dock connection, the interface is blah,...

Nothing bad to say about this little box; I was looking for a device that plays lossless audio, and this fit the bill nicely. Shows up as a hard drive on linux machines, allows non-proprietary audio formats (flac, ogg) as well as mp3. It does video (albeit in a fixed format) as well as photos. It...

Read the full review →Fast, easy to use, expandable and with brilliant audio quality - a thinking persons choice in the face of everybody else using white headphones ...... Expandable: the microSD slot allows for upgrading whatever the on board memory is by up to another 16Gb. I believe that the microSD stanard...
Read the full review →It ain't pretty but it works. FM radio, internal mic for recording (poorly). It's a solid utility music and video drive that's expandable with microSD -- you can drop it and it still works. I'm a frequent podcast listener so I am constantly adding and removing songs from...
Read the full review →The Sansa Fuze is a great audio player both for audiophiles and for those who are looking for a casual player. The codec support is practically hard to beat for audio. There are some features relatively unique to this player. The Fuze features expandable storage, unlike its "i"...
Read the full review →I only replaced this because I lost it! Only problem I had was occasional freezes and/or loss of place with Audible books. Never solved whether this was down to player or Audible, but I think it was the player. I would certainly buy another, but in the meantime my girlfriend has bought me a Sansa...
Read the full review →The two things I find to be glaring omissions from the Fuze are crossfade and line-in recording. That said, as far as traditional PMPs are concerned, you'd be hard pressed to find something better for your money. A great range of audio codecs backed by one of the nicest chipsets on the...
Read the full review →I bought this player mostly because I could run RockBox (rockbox.org) on it. RockBox gives various new features, skinnable interface, Last.fm support, Games, Apps, and much much more. The UI is very easy and you can control it without having to look at it like with the newer touch based...
Read the full review →FLAC and OGG support are rare, and this little player does them perfectly. Easy to control while in your pocket -- unlike the iPods. I find I like the FUZE's scrollwheel even better than my old iPod Nano 2nd Gen, which surprised me. It also does a great job with Podcasts, which I listen...
