Sandisk Sansa e280 8GB MP3 player

Sandisk Sansa 8.0gb MP3 player
I bought this item on boxing day sale for 199 CD$ discounted from 399
CD$. The price was right and I have been quite happy with it. The
feature that really attracted me to this MP3 player in comparison to
others were as follows: no hard drive (which are known to crash often as
in case of the Apple iPod, and cannot be used during sporting
activities), external minidisk slot present, slim and trim external look
(yeah this is important to me!), and easy to upload videos, pictures and
movies (at one point I had 6 episodes of South Park and Simpsons each,
to watch on a flight).
The few problems I have encountered with this player are as follows: it
takes about 1 minute to start up-SLOW!!, sometimes it gets hung (screen
turns white and is unresponsive) and the only way to reboot is to hook
it up to a computer (not very portable!), when connected to a computer
(through a cumbersome wire connection) it takes almost 2minutes to
recover once disconnected, I also really don’t like the way it sorts all
my songs into genres it prefers as opposed to my own sorting system.
All in all, am I happy I purchased this item? Yes, after surveying the
competition and for this price I am glad I have bought this MP3 player.
