Great review again. Indeed a very interesting player.Though, I miss two things.1) A picture together with the e200 To compare the sizes.2) I wished you said something about the 8GB Fuze compared to the 8GB view. The prizes are not too far away, and I wonder what the better choice would be.What I also wonder. You said there’s room for sound quality improvements, even though you come to the conclusion, that it has a great one (equal to the Clip, which used to have one of the best sound quality).I don’t understand exactly why SanDisk decided to go with such a bad video format again…Are you sure that 1 min will be 6 MB? I was under the impression, that DivX compresses quite well.

The newest version of the Fuze does not have a problem with any size card (or maybe the newest firmware, but I got a whole new player in 2010). the previous version I had took forever to load the 8gb cards, but this one takes the same time (2 mins) for all sized cards

This is one of the best players out there. I had one and lost it (along with two 8gb cards, sob!) but I got another one and a 4gb and 16gb card. I have almost all my music on it and still have room. I have the best music (my opinion) on the drive itself, with 4gb for the Bible on MP3, and 16gb for all the rest of my music. Awesome player! I use Klipsch S4 earbuds, so it sounds great too!

I think the Sansa Fuze is a great little MP3 player, but one aspect that is rarely mentioned is that it doesn’t handle large quantities of music very well.

I had 8Gb of music, about 1500 tracks, which was fine, but when I added an 8Gb micro sd card with a further 1500 tracks, things got annoying.

Firstly, it took forever to refresh and delete tracks, and seemed very slow responding to clicks. The bigger problem was that with so many artists and songs, sliding down a list took forever as it didn’t speed up at all. If I wanted something beginning with ‘t’ I had to search for about five minutes.

Also, the shuffle feeature only holds about 2000 tracks. Great for cardless users, but I had about 1,000 tracks I hardly ever heard, especially if the artist, track and genre began with letters anywhere after ‘r’. Very irritating. It also fails to show album artwork in any form

Although I loved the design, size and graphics with the Fuze, I gave in and bought an 80 Gb iPod. I wish I didn’t have to, but oh well.
