Digital camera reviews of SanDisk Sansa m230 512 MB MP3 Player (Blue)
Digital camera Review: Amazing Buy
Summary: 5 Stars
In my mid-seventies I am moving into the 21st century with this MP3. It is very easy to use, to download to and to play. The sound quality is much better than I expected. My had been saying it was time to gert rid of cassette tapes and this is the proof!Digital camera Review: Amazing mp3 player
Summary: 5 Stars
Light weight, great design, great sound, easy to use... comes with armband and battery... it worths every penny paid.Digital camera Review: An Amazing MP3 Player
Summary: 5 Stars
This MP3 player is just terrific. I had another one in the same price range by Nextar and had to return it because it malfunctioned from the start. This SanDisk player is a great value with the included plastic case and armband. The earphones sound great and my music has never sounded better. Only issues: I wish it had more detailed instructions---I'm still trying to figure out how to use all of its features. I wish it had a clip on the back of the plastic case. The good thing is that the plastic case really protects it since it's small enough to tuck in a pocket or waist pack.Digital camera Review: Are there two m230s ?
Summary: 1 Stars
I have read all 181 reviews and decided that half the reviewers did not get the model that I did.
Or else they wrote their review too soon.
I bought mine in June 2006. It failed before the store warranty ran out. One down. The replacement lasted a month or two before it hung and wouldn't boot. Two down. Sandisk honored their 1 year warranty with a prompt free RMA. That one also failed. Three down. They replaced it with both a m230 AND a 2GB c150. The c150 hung after about 2 weeks. Four down. I have been using the m230 for two weeks now and hope it lasts until the c150 replacement arrives. I have gotten quite good at the RMA game and intend to keep playing it either until my warranty runs out or I get one of those that other people rave about.
I don't think I'll buy another SanDisk - unless it is free and has a lifetime warranty.
I suggest that everyone with a failed m230 to exercise thier warranty rights. Sandisk needs to know the true reliability of their products.
Digital camera Review: Audible Users Beware
Summary: 1 Stars
I purchased this player to listen to Audible Books. Audible lists this player on their site and it came from SanDisk bundled with information about Audible Books. You would think that it would be suitable for listening to Audible Books. BEWARE! I used it in my car and stopped and started the player as I ran errands. Most of the time when restarted it jumped ahead about 4 minutes and I had to rewind and try to find my place. I contacted SanDisk Support and they told me that it was a "limitation" on the player due to buffering. I told them that any consumer would consider it a defect and would never purchase it for this use if they were aware of this "limitation". I asked that they provide me a player that was suitable for this use. They never replied to this request. I would avoid SanDisk products as they misrepresented this player and do not stand behind their products.
