The compact SanDisk Sansa e200R Rhapsody can play back music, video, and photo files and is available in capacities of up to 8GB ; works well with Rhapsody ; includes dual Rhapsody and PlaysForSure mode ; includes an FM tuner, a voice recorder, and ...

The SanDisk Sansa e200R Rhapsody's tactile scrollwheel is both a blessing and a burden ; must convert photo and video files using bundled Sansa software ; occasional low-level system noise underneath audio ; proprietary USB dock connector ; no AC ...

Thanks to an improved feature set and GUI, the Rhapsody version of the flagship Sansa player is better than the original.

SanDisk Sansa e280 w/ Base Station (8GB)

By (cnet.com)

The SanDisk Sansa e200 series combines copious features such as subscription compatibility, an FM tuner/recorder, voice recording, and photo and video playback into a compact and durable device. We like the tactile navigation wheel, as well as the ...

No AC adapter in package ; the buttons surrounding the SanDisk Sansa e200's scrollwheel can be difficult to press ; the mechanical scrollwheel can tire out some thumbs ; photos and video must go through conversion with bundled software ; the expansion ...

The SanDisk Sansa e200 series offers a boatload of features for a reasonable price, in a package that is much nicer than that of past SanDisk models. For those looking for a high-capacity, compact, skip-free MP3/WMA player, start with the e200 series.

SanDisk Sansa e280R Rhapsody

By Michael Brown (maximumpc.com)

We liked almost everything about SanDisk's Sansa e260 flash-memory digital media player when we reviewed it in November 2006, but we slapped it with a verdict of 5 because we activated its voice recorder every time we picked the damned thing up. The ...

Amazing audio and video quality, improved exterior casing, Rhapsody-enabled (go figure)

Buttons are slightly undersized and situated slightly too close to the scroll wheel

Rhapsody has two paid subscription models: With the Unlimited plan, you can stream and download as much music as you'd like to up to three PCs for $10 per month. The To Go plan allows you to transfer the tracks to up to three digital media players. ...

Sansa 8GB.

Still not that expandable as of yet. 1 to 2gb.

"Great price not so hot firmware and horrible support"

By MrEview (cnet.com)

Although best price per feature but unfortuna... 

Price for feature it is incredible.

Crappy firmware (latest firmware still sucks). Very slow device. Unreliable needs to be reformatted often. Sansa support is worthless. The worst in the world. Slow to fill/delete files. When using Rhapsody it may take over 12 hours to fill

"For the price it is a great deal!!!"

By owls_84 (cnet.com)

I think over all this is a great buy. I would... 

It is small and easy to use. It syncs up with the computer very easily. Inexpensive and has a FM Radio player which is great for the gym to watch the TVs. MicroSD slot allows some great expansion.

Movies must be converted first. Buttons are a little difficult to hit but not too hard. Battery life seems to not be as long as the 20hrs that were stated.
