Hahaa....Screw ipod! - Ponch - 07-11-2006
My nano died out a while back so I returned it and used the $ to get my new truck running. I finally saved up the $160 that I spent, but decided to get something that gets me a little more bang for my buck. I went with the SanDisk Sansa e250;

It's 2 gig for $160 out the door at Circuit City...Has all this;
Music
FM Radio/Recorder
Picture Viewer
VIDEO PLAYER!
Big screen
Slot for memory card = more memory!!!
I'm liking it alot. The controls are similar to the ipod, but there's a couple of differences. It's pretty cool. If you're in the market for an MP3 player, I would seriously consider this. You can get 'em in 2gig, 4 gig, and 8 gig.

Oh, it's the same height as the nano, .1" wider, and just .3" thicker.

Those looked nice, they had one at the races at the best buy truck over the weekend.

I like it. My two brothers both have nanos and I don't like the crap that you have to do with it. You need to have itunes and can only delete songs when your ipod is hooked up to the computer.
I have a sandisk MP3 right now that I like.

I didn't mind iTunes. Once in a while I'd still just listen to music offa it too.

I am not saying there is anything wrong with it, but I already have music match jukebox because I have a dell. One thing that is good with itunes is that I think you can transfer songs right from limewire to itunes which you can't do with music match.
Hahaa....Screw ipod! - Ponch - 07-11-2006
You sorta can do that, what you have to do is open up your shared folder once you download the file for the song, copy it, and throw it in your "my music" folder. Then you can easily import that whole folder.

A guy at work had one... It broke like 2 weeks after he got it... The fm tuner is cool and the ability to record of the radio

Itunes isn't a requirement for your ipod. There is 3rd party software out there that you can use to fill and remove music from your ipod.

I should have bought that series of players, I just got the Sansa Sandisk m260 for $150..I really want a video player now
Hahaa....Screw ipod! - Sh1nn3r - 07-11-2006
I love my ipod!
Hahaa....Screw ipod! - Ponch - 07-11-2006
It could use some more memory right now- I have Billy Madison, the whole movie on there, and a couple of 1-2 minute clips of stuff, and I have 130 tracks, and I only have like 250mb left in memory.
Hahaa....Screw ipod! - Bikerman - 07-11-2006
Shoulda gotten the 8 gb, especially for video players
Hahaa....Screw ipod! - Bikerman - 07-11-2006
Hey, how you like it so far? any skipping or problems of any sort?
I'm thnking of going to circuit city and telling them my player is messed up, and i might buy that one in a 4 gig version
And is it easy to operate? If its anything like an Ipos, i wont like it i bet

Not too bad. The click wheel and buttons take some getting used to, it's not like the ipod where you just run your finger around it and it moves, you actually have to turn the wheel-it's got a gear under it.
The menus are somewhat similar to the ipods though... Overall I like it and it's easy to hold because of it's size.
Hahaa....Screw ipod! - Bikerman - 07-11-2006
Ok, I'll probably get that then
How much memory does a movie take up? a gig and a half or something?
I might just be downloading a couple of bmx vids, wich are around 500mb and less
Hahaa....Screw ipod! - Ponch - 07-11-2006
Not sure to be honest.
You'll be able to fit a bunch of short vids though.
Hahaa....Screw ipod! - Bikerman - 07-11-2006
You cant check to see how much memory you have left on it? Oh well
And my main vid is an hour long, but its under 600mb, so im not really worried
Hahaa....Screw ipod! - Bikerman - 07-11-2006
Oh-and does it come with a charger? I couldnt find anything about it
Hahaa....Screw ipod! - Ponch - 07-11-2006
You charge thru the USB port on the computer.
Hahaa....Screw ipod! - Bikerman - 07-11-2006
How does that work? Just plug it up and let it sit for a few hours and it charges?
Hahaa....Screw ipod! - Ponch - 07-11-2006
Yep. or wally-world (and mabye other places) sell a wall charger where all you do is plug your usb cord into a port in the charger and it charges.
Hahaa....Screw ipod! - Bikerman - 07-11-2006
Sweet, thanks a bunch
