SanDisk Sansa Fuze+ MP3 8GB 5 Star Rating: Cheapism Best Pick
Summary:
The Sansa Fuze+ is easily the best buy based on its large storage capabilities, array of features, and overall reliability that both users and experts rave about. With a wide range of supported music formats and an attractive price, this is the device to beat despite some gripes about audio quality.

In Sansa Fuse+ reviews, users and experts alike call this SanDisk MP3 player an excellent value. It impresses CNET with the number of features it offers for the price, including FM radio, voice recording, and Mac compatibility. In a Sansa Fuze+ review, CNET recommends this MP3 player as a solid, cheap alternative to an iPod, although the experts find fault with its screen resolution and navigation. Engadget agrees in a Sansa Fuze+ review that this MP3 player gives users a lot for the money and also has issues with the new touch navigation, finding it alternately too sensitive and unresponsive. In another Sansa Fuze+ review, the experts at Digital Trends admire the battery life of this MP3 player, noting that it offers the full 24 hours of playback promised.

The SanDisk Sansa Fuze+ boasts 8GB of storage space and a bigger screen than the older Sansa Fuze. It comes in five colors and supports almost any audio format, including MP3, WMA, secure WMA (used by Rhapsody and Napster), Ogg Vorbis, FLAC, and AAC, as well as photos and videos.

Overall, it's tough to beat the specs on the Sansa Fuze+ in this price range.
