The Good

Allows you play music in a recent manner; provides you the choice of using memory cards

The Bad

No video support; limited number of albums available; weak battery life

The Bottom Line

If you're interested in buying a sansa player, you're better off choosing one of their more traditional MP3 players, such as The View or the Fuze.

Review

Most people are excited by new technology and want to rush out to buy the latest gadget. From the laser disc player to the Sony MiniDisk, some technologies have gone the way of the dodo. Now a new Sansa player has entered the market and only time (and a thorough review) will determine whether it will become the VCR or the Betamax player of the digital music age.This new Sansa player is known as the slotMusic player. At only $20, the player seems like a great deal.

Where does the music derive from? Well, the Sansa player provides you two options. In the beginning, you can select to acquire a microSD card plus remove MP3 or WMA files from your supercomputer onto the card. After that put in the card into the Sansa player, and you can listen to music. Certainly, buying the cards will rise your cost. A 4 GB card is priced at about $10 whereas a 16 GB card may run you more than $50.

A unique facility of the Sansa player is that you can also get your music a diverse way: purchasing full albums on slotMusic cards. The cards are able to be played in the Sansa player or in most other devices which receive microSD cards.

On the bright side, this technique does let you to listen to manageable music even though you don't have a CPU. Certainly, so do CD's if you have an appropriate CD player.

Other issues include the battery life. The Sansa player uses actually replaceable batteries instead of built-in rechargeable ones. And since you're only expected to get 15 hours of music listening out of the batteries, real music lovers could end up spending a fortune on batteries alone. Plus, there's no video support and no screen.
