Review Summary

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.

The Sansa m200 Series MP3 players add to SanDisk’s growing line of products for the audio market. Created by the leaders in flash memory, this flash-based model provides high-quality digital music …

    If you're Canadian the free music coupon is useless. Packaging clearly states free month with Rapsody ... inside, printed in small print ''US residents only.'' Even this form asks ''select a province'' and then offers only US states! Read more

    I had a 512 MB player that was acting up after 2 years. Looking for another player that could use rechargeable AAA batteries, I came upon this one, I especially liked the FM radio. So, I bought it and downloaded my songs. It played well for the first two songs, but on the third it stopped 3 second into it. I turned it off and it did the same regardless of the song. I deleted the library and downloaded again, but the same results. I returned it for another. The second ... Read more

    In one of the most remarkable events in retail history, the price of this great little mp3 player has actually increased over the last two months! While long a loss-leader for other high-end players such as the iPod and Zune, Sandisk m-series players areknown for simplicity, reliability, and low-cost, and are currently few, if the only players on the market to offer long play times (19 hours+), FM reception, and light weight while using a single, easily replaceable AA...

    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 hav... Read more
