I've had a Sansa for two years and have had no problems with it. It was cheap, it's easy to use, it has good storage, it doubles as a cheap voice recorder, it's easy to add and remove music (I use Rhythmbox on Linux or drag-and-drop on Windows), the battery lasts a long time. I'm curious to know why you hate yours.

I'd plug it into my mac and it would sometimes show up and sometimes not. There were times when I'd be attaching and detaching it over and over again for about 15 minutes. I change my music daily (I have a long commute), so this became quite onerous and hated.
- blasdel 17y agoDrag-and-drop to add music means that the device has to tediously index itself or have terrible metadata support, usually both. It's a hell of a misfeature, one that nearly all of Apple's non-Zune competitors are drawn to, since they have no hope of competing with iTunes as a music organizer and they have a very vocal clique of customers that demand it (like support for OGG and FM Radio).
