Worked great for awhile
I was using the Stone for listening to audio books as I exercised. After about 2 months the Stone started to "lose" my place so I spent the first few minutes of my walk finding it again. I solved the problem by having only one book on the Stone at a time. The next thing was the Stone stopped being recognized by my computer. At first I blamed it on Vista but have tried my other computer with XP and still no connection. I cannot even charge the Stone from a wall charger.
I am replacing it this week with another brand.

worth it
totally worth your points. wish i could get another but of course all the good stuff worth while are gone. to bad pepsi!!!!!!!

better then ipod
great, easy to use, no tech problems with mine or daughters in over a year of ownership. takes fair bit of knocking around. leaves Ipod shuffle for dust

nice little MP3 player
For the price, great quality. Very small - only a few inches long. Doesn't display track info, but for the money, a good buy.

works great for me!
I don't really consider myself to be in the iPod generation but I really love this little player. I got a free MP3 player (generic) which ended up breaking so I went looking for a replacement. I especially like the Zen Stone for its speaker so that I don't have to use the earbuds. I use it while gardening to just clip on the inside of my shirt or to set out while I do exercise. I use it while playing guitar to be able to have the song I am working on right in front of me to listen to different parts of it.

The only thing I have had an issue with is the same as some people have mentioned before which is the charging. To me it holds the battery life fine but I have not used others to compare. The issue I have had is my computer not recognizing the player when I hook it up on USB to charge and I did the same thing as was mentioned, I plugged it in overnight to charge and went to bed without realizing that it hadn't actually connected. You sometimes have to really make sure that it is connected or change USB cables, or it might be that I am still on Win2000pro? Either way I always make sure that it is connected when I charge and then it works great for me!

Love this Clip
I have used this player quite a bit since I got it. No problems so far. I think the controls are very easy to use. I am happy with this clip!

Sansa clip 4GB
The operation of the Sansa Clip is much better than expected. For a player that small, it provides all that I would want from it. The only disapointment are the earphones. Invest in a decent pair of earbuds, and you will be impressed.

Small, easy to use, great buy!
If you don't need album covers or photos this is a terrific player. The sound (equlization possible)is very good. The small size and effective clip are plusses.

I like it
Some times I have some difficulties in plugging it with the pc, but generally it is good.
Am so happy with it.

Sensa 4 Gig Silver is great!
The player is very nice. It has a small size and I usually clip it to my clothes. It has been great for running and has an FM radio and voice recording. It is full featured and supports playlists and is easy to operate. Battery is charged via USB and although it takes a while to charge it lasts a long time. Good volume too when you are in a noisy environment. With four Gig I can get about 800 songs on it which is plenty for me. Highly recommend.

So-So product, bad customer service from SanDisk
While it worked, this was a great product. When I purchased this product I was interested only in an mp3 player (no need for video too) and the Clip looked perfect. My Clip (blue) was used for approximately 2 - 2.5 hours per day during my lunch hour and during my workout. I purchased in mid-January and by late August the battery malfunctioned and refused to power on the player. I took a few trips around the internet to find any way to solve the problem that would not end with having to contact SanDisk's customer service. For my particular problem, warranty replacement was the only cure. It took three weeks of emails to customer service to finally get them to agree that the power issue would not be fixed by multiple downloads/installs of the latest firmware and agree to the return of my product for replacement. Then just over a week after I shipped my Clip to SanDisk I received yet another email that it would be 7 to 10 business days before I received the replacement product.

This little player was wonderful when it worked, but I won't be buying another SanDisk mp3 player, that's for sure. SanDisk customer service does not just email you, they send you an email telling you that you have received a message in your SanDisk eBox at their website and if you just follow the links you will be able to read the message and follow the appropriate customer service suggestions to repair your product. The eBox was only a slight annoyance compared to waiting days for any kind of response in the first place. And the suggestion that I repeat (three times) steps I had already taken in regard to the firmware and a soft reset and then reformatting the product got pretty annoying too.

If you buy one and it works (and keeps working) great for you. If you buy one and the battery fails, forget customer service and just buy a new product. (I went with the Creative Zen.) I expect a new Clip from SanDisk (per the warranty) to arrive soon and plan to keep it in the box. If nothing else, it's at least a pretty product.

old dog new tricks
This my second mp3 player. My first was so complicated I had to throw it out. This one is a breeze. I download to media player, move to sync and transfer. I have music to garden, fly, and walk the dogs. The sound is good. The earphones are okay. The size is perfect.

Great player
This player is easy to operate, the charge is long, plays excellent.
Kids love it.

Great Product
Very easy to use. I purchased it mainly for audio books. I especially enjoy the sleep mode.

Great For the Price - Not Perfect
I've had my blue SanDisk 2GB for a couple of months now and I really like it. You will not find a better 2GB MP3 player on Amazon.com for under . It has many different features and modes (It has FM radio, but I would LOVE an AM radio feature on it as I listen to quite a bit local sports talk radio). However, that is besides the point. The only two things I don't like are:

1) The USB cord is very short and it connects extremely tightly to my Sandisk. So much so that I really have to use quite a bit of force to disconnect it from the cord.

2) It seems to take an awfully long time to charge the battery. My old MP3 player was a Creative Muvo and it charged rather quickly - plus it seemed that a charge on the MUVO lasted longer than a charge on this Sandisk.

Having said that, I do like it and would recommend it as an alternative to buying a more expensive iPod or MP3 player.

Junk! a cheap imitation!
no no no no do not buy this product it is a waste of money, it falls apart and is plastic. If you end up buying this product and later end up buying an ipod, you will sooo regret buying this cheap piece of plastic! BUY AN IPOD!!!!!! NOT THIS!!!!

waste of money
I bought this and even sent a e-mail on what color I wanted. The box was smashed so I thought that it was done for. But it was in one piece and cheaply made and the wrong color. The screen flickers and you have to shut it off to get it to change to the menu screen for anything. I admit I wanted something cheap but I didn't want it to fall apart either. So don't waste your money on it it's just not worth it.

Cute But Junk
This is supposed to be a 4GB player, and it shows up on my computer as 4 GB, yet it will hold only 1.5 GB before refusing to accept any more files, claiming "no room left on device". Also, the file browser for selecting media files is the absolute worst thing I have ever seen, it takes forever to locate a file. There is no playlist support of any kind, so unless you just want to hear all your mp3s (or 1.5 GB of them, anyway) with no control over the order they play in, it's a real hassle.

I cannot play videos on this either, as the included software for converting video to the required format (.amv) doesn't work. Naturally, I assumed since this is *called* an mp4 player, I would play mp4 files on it. Nope. It doesn't do that either. I was looking forward to the ebook capability, but again, this was a vain hope -- it reads only text files. If you have any good books in text file format, great, you're all set! Of course, no one does... Text files are pretty much never used for ebooks.

There are just two good things I can say about this player: It's cute, and the screen does a good job rendering photos with decent resolution and surprisingly good contrast. Unfortunately, I did not buy it to look at photos, but for playing music and video.
Well, at least it does actually play music, if rather inflexibly.

Next time I will buy a decent brand name player, maybe Phillips or Sandisk. This was my first and last no-name player. My little reminder that "you get what you pay for". But to not even get the 4 GB of storage advertised is pretty darn low.

Great Product
OK... First off this is a great product.

The GOOD:
-AMAZING picture/video quality
-FM quality is the best ive EVER seen
-recording is sensitive and accurate
-drag + drop files
-can be used as a flash drive
-shiny back is SO shiny that i use it for my makeup [jk im a guy ;-)]
-Games ar cool

The BAD:
-E-book is not even worthy of uttering
-THE PLAYER SCRATCHES TOOOOOOOOO EASY
-exiting and entering logo is stupid and ugly
-the music player visuals are tooo clutered
-cant put a memory card in it


BEST G00D:
-FM RADIO RECORDING

WORST BAD:
-SCRATCHES TOO EASY

if your tech savy go to www.mympxplayer.com and look for the Actions 9.x.x
-also THE VISUALS SUCK EGGS!!!!! I CANT TELL YOU ENOUGH HOW MUCH I WANTED TO STAB MY EYES AFTER I TURNED THIS ON

nice but wasn't what i was expecting
what really bothers me about this product is that the menu makes a loud click when you push on it. second it is hard to get from place to place with it. i always have to turn it off if i wanted to go to the games from music. also i was hoping there would be a scroll wheel like an ipod but it turns out there is none. which is the reason i bought this one. i saw other cheaper ones but i could tell you had to push buttons i still dont know what the middle button does. menu could be of better quality
the good things are the mp4 player has all the functions and looks of an ipod at a cheaper price. it can dock with ipod products which i like alot.and doesn't take long to figure out how to use it.(speaking of that they could make a better set of instructions)
