SanDisk Sansa c240 User Said:

I looked around a few weeks for the best MP3 for under $75 and found this SanDisk Sansa c240 on sale for $59.99. The Sansa c240 is small with a nice clear color LCD screen. The operation buttons are just right for quick one hand operation and the MP3 down loads very fast. The FM radio is a big plus, but like most of these units some of the stations are just a little too weak to pick up clearly, but still a great feature. The only problem I have is for some reason I can adjust the volume all the way down, but when I want to crank up a good tune it seems to only go up half way. The 2 GB that come with the unit is more then enough but I like to have more of everything so I bought an extra 2 GB SD Micro chip for it and there is no way I well be able to keep up with all the songs and pictures this thing well down load now. I do wish they made a larger selection of protection covers for the this unit. I have only found one and it’s the one with the arm band. But I’m sure someone well come out with more covers soon. For the money you can’t beat this little MP3.
