How come they don't have any killer accessories for the Sansa. That's my one gripe. Now that they have rechargeable batteries, they should offer a car charger accessory and a car charger & fm transmitter or aux out with amplifier like I could get for an Ipod

That would make the Sansa a true Nano killer.

Why no accessories and only some unupdated accessories for the first mp3 player in you guys made? Why not have a standard dock and make all the accessories work with all of your mp3 players?

hi everyone!!
just to say that i've found an interesting discovery about the 8GB sandisk
go on to the following link:
http://www.sandisk.com/cesreg/sansa_promo.asp#
sandisk are doing a promo on their E200 prices. Click on 360 Demo (just above the E200's photo) and this will open a new window showing a 3D version of the E200 series.
Turn the MP3 player around so you can see the back, it says 8.0GB.
They're obviously working on it and leeking little bits of info, piece by piece to keep us hanging on :P
great site guys and i love the name : anything but ipod!!

Kind of a weird tidbit to release on a page that seems otherwise intended to clear their stock of inferior players.

yea, maybe they're making way for the 8GB player, and they need to move some lower capacity ones.....

Anyways, Ipod Nanno Is Currently Making Their 10 GB So Its Not Going To Be Good. I heard its going to be released on the December of 23, 2006. I also heard the prices of THE 10 GB NANO is going to be LOW PRICE

Let's say this is true. 46MB to hold 2 songs are pretty large files. What format are they using? Apple's song files are about 3 to 6MB using MP3 or MP4 (AAC format).

Hmmmm.... They will need the extra 4GBs to almost make up the difference.

Wow John, you are really dense. iPod zelots will say anything...

Hey, you never know, maybe its "The Odyssey" By Symphony X...that bitch is about 25 mb and its .mp3 (it's a 20 something minute long song) So think before you critiize on stupid shit.

My mistake...its 34 MB

I'm guessing that they're "video songs"....

Anybody want a really good deal on a an sandisk sansa e280, i've got a few to sell... email me at aburt@blurrycuustoms.com!

How about a waterproof housing/case that is being offered by Otter Products for the iPod line of players... Especially for those on the go and about in the outdoors...

The European model doesn't have FM radio. If I managed to buy one from outside Europe, with a radio, would it still be ok with accessories such as chargers and pc connections?

this model is now on sale at Futureshop Canada for only $224.99
http://www.futureshop.ca/catalog/proddetail.asp?logon=&langid=EN&sku_id=0665000FS10079592&catid=

that's a darn good deal if you ask me. ( $95 off the reg. price )

that's Canadian dollars also, so that's about $199 US funds or so

This is my first post ever. The name of this site says it all for those of you who have issues with ipods. I paid $249 at the Futureshop in Halifax on Dec. 6 which is still $70 off the regular price for the Sansa e280. Given the fact that you had to pay that much for the 2 gb version a year ago it's a pretty good deal. Like all tech gadgets prices drop and the technology constantly improves. I hope it lives up to my expectations as the Nano seems lacking in some areas. Keep up the dialogue as relevant shared information helps us all.

I just got mine yesterday. I paid $179 for the e280(8GB) including the 5pc travel kit (case, screen protector, cleaning cloth, leather sleeve, spring clip lanyard). ($193 shipped) This was from B&H photo on the internet. Was the best deal that I could find.

hey my Mine needs to be Master reset and i lost my paper so does anyone know how to Master reset this MP3 Player cause i need it to work

hey i need to know if you can convert divx to any of the formats that the e280 supports and is there any faults with it because i'm thinking of buying it thks

dan

and how long does it take to convert a file and put on on the player (e280)

'Allo Mates! This morning (Friday, 6-15-07) I ordered (from Dell)
this little jewel (SANSA e280) along with the 2 GB card, the
Philips Foldable Noise-Cancelling Headphones, spare battery,
FM Transmitter Through FM radio and the 5-piece travel kit.
I got the 15% deduction (using the number on the front of my
Dell catalogue which recently arrived in the mail) and also I used
my $50 Dell Coupon (which Dell gave me because of all the
trouble I've had with my new Dell Inspiron B-130 Notebook).
Handling and shipping were free and the final price? $315.26
(and that includes the 8.25% sales tax which we Texicans
must pay). What do you think of that?
