Rating:  - PerfectPlayer is amazing! It does everything I wanted and more. Extremely easy to use! I purchased this because it allows you to add music from your computer without having to pay a subscription! Thus, you can rip your own CDs and place them on your Fuze! PERFECT! Rating:  - Pleasantly SurprisedI received this as a gift from my wife, and have been quite pleased with the use I have gotten out of it. It's pretty easy to download data off of a computer. When you plug it in, you can access your Sansa files using Windows Explorer. I use Windows Media Player to create and move my own playlists over, and have dragged individual mp3 files using Explorer. The Sansa installation CD throws the "Sansa Media Center" on your desktop, but I dont even bother with it. The radio works as good as can be expected-I pick up my favorite local stations easily, even in places my cell phone doesnt work. The battery seems to last longer if you keep the display as dim as possible; its still easy to read on that setting. I picked up the DLO brand "Action Jacket" for the Fuze. Its kind of a pain accessing the power switch through the opening in the foam, but the arm band is sturdy, and you can plug in headphones easily. Drawbacks? The directions are useless-better to grab a beverage and just start playing with it. And because its not an "i-Something," its harder to find accessories. But then again, why carry the same thing as everyone else? Rating: - SANSArozso far so good! the radio is a little off for the station I like to listen to but other than that its great! I would purchase it again! Rating: - This is awesome!I got this for my birthday in november and now in january, its still working! There were some reveiws that said it broke after a few days, but I think that if you got a iPod, sell it and buy this! I is better than the iPod, I love this MP3 player!!!!!!!!! Rating: - Credit-card sized MP3 Player with great sound!My Christmas present this year was the Sansa 8GB Fuze, an MP3 player that can play music and videos, as well as display photos, record your voice, and play FM radio. It is the size of a credit card, about 3-4 times as thick and I think it's incredible. I love audiobooks. Now, why did I wait till I was over 50 to discover these miracles? You can be knitting, working, doing housework and listening to books being read to you. It's heaven! The Fuze works with Audible.com's site as one of the devices to download from their manager, or you can put cd music, books and other mp3 format sound onto the clip with minimal difficulty. The Fuze also comes with a disk that hooks you up with Rhapsody, the online subscription music service. In addition, you can carry your favorite pictures and even run videos, though I would not recommend watching a full-length film on the ca. 2 inch screen. Still, for a boring plane flight, a familiar tv show or music video could be a way to pass the time. Or you can download your vacation video and watch and share. What Comes With It The Fuze comes with a set of earbud headphones (fairly decent quality for what they are, but those don't fit my tiny ear canals.) Also a cable for connecting to your USB port, which is how you connect for downloading and for charging as well. A small envelope-style case of soft vinyl completes the ensemble. If you really get into using your Fuze, you will probably want better headphones (I had no choice--the standard buds don't fit me, so I picked up a pair of Sennheiser CX400 Headphones that have three sizes of inside-the ear buds. The smallest fits me and the sound is decent for the price. You'll also want a case for the Fuze, and possibly and armband holder for exercise or walking and a silicon skin, to protect it. Finally, there are car and wall chargers for when you are not near a computer you can use to charge the unit, as the USB connector doubles as charge and interface to computer. Battery Life and Interface The battery life is about 25 hours for music and about 6 for videos (enough for a longish flight.) The interface is accessed through a wheel on the front plus a "home" button. It is a standard roll-through and select. Volume is changed by running around the wheel with your finger. In addition to the (largish) USB interface, there is a slot for a microSD card slot to add more memory. It accepts high-capacity cards, which are available up to 16GB of memory. Sound I find that the Fuze is best for vocal sound--the lows and highs are not as pronounced for classical music, nor the bass outstanding. Even borrowing someone's fabulous set of Klipsch headphones, I did not think the sound was as good as a mini-disk player. But it's more than acceptable. Since I intend to use this for vocal and voice, I was very happy. The sample "Danny Boy" song included on the Fuze pretty much shows the range you can achieve. The FM radio is very good and has 40 presents (you hit the bottom of the wheel while tuned to your station. This also brings up the preset menu so you can scroll through your stations.) While radio is not the reason I bought this, our local NPR station, the famous WHYY, comes in loud and clear and is VERY enjoyable to listen to on the Fuze. I've loaded radio podcasts (there is a podcast menu choice.) Picture and Video I loaded some of my pictures to the Fuze--they look fairly good, but you can't select one as your background. You can scroll through or do a slideshow. There is a video clip of a concert included and I haven't gotten around to loading any of our own videos. The concert clip is too small on the 1.9 inch screen to really see anything. Summary For versatility, the Fuze is excellent. If you don't need video, I'd go with The Clip, because it's the size of your thumb and fits on a collar for better portability. The Fuze fits nicely into a shirt pocket or even pants pocket or you can add an armband. The sound is good, though not stunningly excellent. Add a better set of headphones and you have portable entertainment for hours.
