The SanDisk Sansa M250 comes in 1GB, 2GB as well as in 4GB. It includes a FM tuner, a digital player and a voice recorder. Even though this portable device is relatively light that is weighting in at about 80g it will leave your pocket with a large bulk. The SanDisk Sansa M250 comes with a carrying case, a USB cable, an armband and an earphone. The FM radio that it is equipped with comes with 20 pre-set channels. Therefore if you want to listen to something apart from the songs that you have stored in this device, then this is readily available.

The file formats that it supports are WMA-DRM, MP3, WMA and Audio. This incredible device comes with one AAA battery with about 19 hours of power. The voice recorder with its built-in microphone will come in handy for lectures. It will also come in handy for recording telephone numbers and addresses and in fact what ever else you may want to record. There is also a pre-set equaliser. They are classic, jazz, pop and rock. Another advantage to this product is that audio books are compatible with it. The LCD screen light could have been a little better, but the information it displays is relatively straightforward. Where the sound is concern, it is good quality. It takes a little while to transfer files though. It is also compatible with Windows Media Player 10. The drag and drop system is used here as well. The body is made in plastic material, and it is able to stand up against the daily bumps. This device is also flash base. The built in microphone is located at the bottom of it. The controls are easy to operate. Overall the SanDisk Sansa M250 is a good buy for its basic operation.

    I liked the price and the simplicity of it (no need for iTunes or other software), but mine also quit working after about 6 months. It has a brand new battery and it just won't turn on. On the rare occasion it does turn on, it just stops after a few songs. I guess I'll try to spend a bit more on a higher quality product next time. Read more

    Sandisk Sansa m250 5 It's a 2GB flash MP3/WMA player with fm tuner, stopwatch, voice recorder, 5-band EQ, and can be used as a flash drive. It runs on a single AAA battery which, for me, is more convenient than built-in rechargeable batteries that require you to locate a power source when they run out of juice. It was recognized by my computer running Windows ME (despite what the minimum requirements say on the Sandisk site) and I can add/remove files via drag-and-drop... Read more

    I almost bought a much more expensive mp3 player, but I'm glad I got this one instead and saved my money. It's small, very easy to use, requires no software on your computer, has great battery life, good FM radio reception, and can double as a flash drive for data storage. Plus SandDisk has great technical phone support (from my experience). Read more

    I bought my first Sansa (a pink one) on black Friday at Best Buy. I had if for a total of 2 weeks before it began to have certain quirks, like sound variability, and file sticking. Finally it failed to initialize, rendering it completely useless. I sent off an Email to SanDisk (the makers) and after 2 days of tedious waiting got an automated reply that solved none of my problems. Fed up I took it back to Best Buy. They immediately replaced it, saying the pink ones have... Read more
