    Unless you have a certain fruity logo on the back of your device, the MP3 player market is hard going. This, though, is a good offering. This Sansa Fuze player has a 2GB hard disk – there are 4 and 8GB versions available in a variety of finishes, too – as well an SDHC card slot, which allows you to increase the storage capacity. There’s an FM radio and voice recorder, while you can view videos and pictures on the 2in colour screen, too. It’s a sleek unit, with... Read more

  2. A low price, a deep feature list, and an ultracompact design make the Sansa Fuze a very worthy Nano competitor.

    The Fuze is a worthy competitor to the Nano--and an even better choice if you're looking for a flash player with expandable memory, an FM tuner, and a lower price tag. Read more

  5. SanDisk Sansa Fuze Review

    Reviewer: Anything but iPod
    27 March 2008

    SanDisk has been very progressive with their line of Sansa MP3 players and the Fuze is a good example of that making improvements and leaning from past mistakes. The UI has been greatly improved with overall responsiveness but they have some ways to go, not that it is bad it just lacks attention to details and overall organization of features. Still, across the board there are plenty of other improvements in screen quality, build quality, and sound quality. The Fuze does... Read more

    This is a great little MP3 player. My three kids have IPods and this thing sounds just as good. Besides, with three kids, who can afford an IPod?

I found that downloading WMA at 96 kbps sounds better than MP3 at 128 kbps so you save space as well. Also, the radio has great reception and sounds great. It will come in handy at football games and working around the... Read more
