User Submitted SanDisk 1 GB MP3 Player Silver Reviews (cont...)Date: 2006-10-12 Dont get a Refurb!!! Electronics lesson no. 26743982 Never buy a Refurbished piece of electronics. Trust me, I made this mistake and now I have to send it back! Date: 2006-08-24 The thing works. This is a great affordable alternative to all the bells and whistles. Decent space, USB storage option, radio. It's all good. Date: 2006-06-27 3 months this product worked for 3 months, but after 3 months you lose the music on the left side of the earphone. (its the mp3 not the earphone). i dont know about other people, but i'm dissapointed since this MP3 player was working so well. Date: 2006-06-05 Built like a little plastic tank Yea its cheap, you can tell just by looking at it. Its actually a single circuit board inside of it, I know because I broke the headfone jack completely off the board. Superglued it back together still slightly drunk, and it actually worked for another 3 or 4 months untill I decided to clear the superglue off so I could solder it. Lost all the screws, so if I drop it, it disassembles into 4 the four different plastic case parts with a sound that makes people think you just shattered expensive glass. Its great. I still use it as a USB drive(doesnt need a battery, just cable), im thinking of putting windows and a boot disk on it and wrapping it with electrical tape, but now it still holds my music and a few random video's. It might actually be upgraded to a MP3 player again if I get around to soldering the headphone jack back into place, but meh I will probably just buy a better one. Oh yea, and dont get superglue inside the thing the button actually pushes. I have to start it by touching something metal between two parts on the circuit board. Got a bent pushpin so I can do it with the case on, but thats just if I want to use it as an mp3 player again, its automatic when used as a usb drive with no battery. Even though it weighs so little, resist the urge to spin it around by the headphone cable while its playing. Trust me, its a bad idea in the long run. And ALLWAYS remember to take expensive electronic items out of your pockets when you get drunk, that really helps too. I sat down, and found out the headphone jack isnt reinforced at all, just soldered onto the board. That and the circuit is gonna rip off the board before the headfone plug will break the plastic jack. Overall a good deal, and it still technicly works if you hold the headphone jack in place, and start it with a paperclip. Just dont break it in half and it will probably hold up for a good long time. Date: 2006-05-28 so-so. A lot of little annoyances turn this otherwise passable mp3 player into a hassle. It takes about 20-30 seconds to turn on. It doesn't immediately start playing so you have to hit play again after it starts. It doesn't remember the volume you last set. It has a quirk with the sorting of wma drm files. I loaded a drm-ed audiobook onto it with filenames in the form of "audobook-##.wma", but the files were ordered randomly. It was fairly difficult to find out which file I wanted to play next, because the filename scrolling is poorly designed and incredibly slow at the fastest speed setting. The radio and voice recording features are useless. The controls can be difficult to use and the menus are a tangled labyrinth of despair. I wish I had bought a different mp3 player, but it's not bad enough that I have to buy a better one.
