SanDisk Sansa m240 - Digital player - flash 1 GB - WMA, MP3 - silver Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This thing is so tiny. It's only 1 ¼" x 3" and weighs 1.5 ounces with the battery. It actually comes with AAA battery. No need for charging.

I had a hard time getting it to work. The driver wouldn't install on my Windows XP system. Something about an invalid INF file. As I searched the web for a solution, I found that was a common problem. I finally installed a file named Microsoft_User-Mode_Driver_Framework_Install-v.1.0-WinXP.exe (sorry, links to other sites aren't allowed in our reviews) and Windows Media Player 11 (I had 10); and afterwards, I was able to install the drivers. Maybe that will help others.

There are lots of nifty little extras. The player came with stereo earbuds which are comfortable and the music is clear. I can listen to the radio and record my voice. It comes with an armband and a plastic case.

I wish I could load music with a card. Instead, I have to connect via USB port. Shuffling the music around has to be done via the computer.

Still this is a great little mp3 player. I wouldn't recommend it nor buy it again because of the problem I had with the INF file, but I like what I have now that it works.

UPDATE:This mp3 player has fallen into disuse.For regular use, I would recommend something a littler more user friendly.Kids might not mind and just want music.I'd like a little more flexibility.
