Rating: - Good value, navagating the menus takes some getting used to.
Overall I am very happy with this product. I shopped dozens of players and decided on this one for a few reasons, first was the price and the size of the memory. Second was the way that this particular model seemlessly integrates with the "Rhapsody to go" service preventing me from spending hundreds of dollars a year on buying songs. The Rhapsody to go service allows you to download an unlimited number of songs and as long as your account is current those songs remain on your MP3 player. For $14.95 a month I have unlimited downloads, thats currently the best deal on the market. Not all MP3 players will work with this service buy I figure that in my case the player will be free with the money that I save and my break even point will be +/- 4 months. The third factor that I like about this player is that it has a built in FM tuner as well as a built in rechargeable battery. The only thing I would like to change is the proprietary cable and would replace it with a standard USB cable. Navagating the menu's does take a little getting used to as my previous player was a basic no frills model but I feel that it will be second nature in a short time. In my opinion this one is "the one" to buy and the fact that I can upgrade the size of the memory is an added bonus.

Rating: - Love the Sansa brand, but I had trouble with this model.
I have and older Sansa MP3/Video player and it has performed very well.
I was unable to upload pictures and videos onto the Fuze, I don't know if it was the unit or my computer but the older model worked fine with my PC. Had to send the Fuze back.
Wish it would have worked, I really like the new styling of the Fuze.

Rating: - The Nano has competition.
This is everything I ever wanted from an MP3 player plus more. By plus I mean 3 extra (BIG) features that the FUZE has and the Nano doesn't. That would be 1: microSD expansion slot ( I have an 8gb SDHC in mine, a total of 12gb ) 2: an FM Tuner and 3: The ability to record FM radio, That means recording a favorite song from the radio and going back and listening whenever you want YES!!!! . Another thing I like about the FUZE is that it's fully compatible with my Playstation 3 (the Nano isn't) . I pop in a CD and then import it into my Playstation 3 in MP3 format, then copy to my FUZE . The control wheel is easy to use as it actually turns and clicks so you won't over travel like on the Nano's very touch sensitive wheel. One feature that surprised me was the Podcast feature. I thought that feature was just for iPOD's. If there's one thing I don't like it would have to be the ON/OFF switch NOT button. It's a little hard to turn on and off with no nails. Overall, Im VERY satisfied with this neat looking, high quality, easy to use MP3 player and look forward on buying accessories for it with the $100+ that I saved on not buying a Nano.

Rating: - Great MP3
This is a great player! I picked it up at Circuit city for fiteen dollars less then they wanted to sell it to me, so already I had a good feeling about it. I couldn't help but tear open the packing in the car at a red light, just to look at it. It has a thin, sleek design, with an easy to use thumb-wheel.

I brought it home and right away signed into Rhapsody, the music service I use. It is quick to download and has plenty of space for all the music I use, plus photos and videos.

Plusses:

Lots of space.

Can play music, videos, and eBooks, with room for photos.

Has lots of setting so you can personalize it.

Cool design.

Small.

Downsides:

No big downsides.

Overall, a great player. I would reccomend it to anybody, children or adults. Who needs an iPod when you have this?

Rating: - Awesome Player
I had a Sansa e250 that broke after much use so I bought a Fuze because of Sandisk's usability. I like the fact that you can toggle the Play/Pause right from the main menu. The jog dial is steady and the buttons are very responsive. It uses my 2gb microSD card perfectly and I can easily drag and drop my music onto it.

I recommend this player to anyone who wants quality sound at a good price while not being worried about fitting their whole music library on the device.
