sandisk sansa e280 mp3 player - opinions? Got one for sale? lol

[White16valver]

Been looking at these as they are a) 8gb solid state, b) quite cheap, and c) not an ipod lol

I know xzibit said they were good in my other thread, I was just wondering if anyone else had tried them or got one

And if anyone has one in good nick for sale secondhand... lol

for £100, i'd rather have an ipod...sad i know but sandisk are good at memory cards, not software!

 

[White16valver]

doesn't itunes only rip in one particular way that's not compatible with other players though??

 

[b3nje]

You're sort of on the right lines BUT...what would that matter?

Open iTunes, open your ipod in iTunes, drag and drop mp3's you want on it...iTunes will do the rest

iTunes is good software really, just i dispise it!

I don't want to be tied to a bloody ipod forever lol

Hence I would prefer to not be a sheep, and go for an alternative!

If you want something different go for an Iriver h320 or h340 (20gb and 40gb respectively). They have radio built in, play video, and can be used as a document reader....they are discontiued but there are loads floating round ebay. Best of all, you dont need any sh*t software to upload mp3's etc. simply connect it and your PC sees it as an external disk, its so cool..... I keep all my important documents etc on it also (encrypted of course)
