mackeeg Posted November 21, 2005 Share Posted November 21, 2005 Was at BB today (hate hate hate that store, but that's another story). Looked at the 1GB SanDisk and nowhere did it indicate that it would accept any additional memory. If this SanDisk does take a memory card, would someone please confirm? Will even go pay BB's current sale price of 80. [Of course, I was being "helped" by a useless guy who, when I asked about the Zen vs. the SanDisk said - well, it's good but it's just sold out. 2 minutes later, as we were comparing other options said - you should just get the Zen, and when I asked him to confirm that he had just said they were sold out, said - oh, yeah, right.] The one that is on sale is the 240, it does not take extra memory. You want the 140 if you want to add extra memory. That is at Office Depot on Black Friday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DownNDirty Posted November 22, 2005 Share Posted November 22, 2005 I'm new to the MP3 scene but my wife really wants one for Christmas. I think I have weeded through this topic and websites enough to determine that I want the Creative Zen Micro 5GB with the FM Tuner for $149.99 from TigerDirect.com. Looks like it is getting tons of favorable reviews and has good storage space. I do want some advice though: What online MP3 service do you all suggest? Are there any that have music and audio books all on the same site? I know she would probably enjoy the audio books as well as the music capabilities. Any help here will be greatly appreciated.

Just_Jill Posted November 22, 2005 Share Posted November 22, 2005 Those wanting an mp3 player for children should consider the ipod shuffle.

I can see a physical difference, but as far as features, what are the major differences?From their site: As a replacement to our original Digital Audio Player line, this improved look also includes Sansa’s excellent navigation: songs sorted by title, artist, album, genre as well as playlist support. The Sansa m200 Series MP3 players are one of the first to provide Microsoft PlaysForSure Subscription support. The line comes in three capacities: Blue at 512MB, Silver at 1GB, and Black at 2GB. The player can also be used as an external storage device to carry important data and transfer it to another PC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kelliedn Posted November 22, 2005 Share Posted November 22, 2005 This is great, but it would be even better if it had been updated as adds were added. I had to go through each and every ad because I just knew I saw some that weren't here. There is a Jenson 512 mb at Meijer for 39.97.

Guest CS.Dean Posted November 23, 2005 Share Posted November 23, 2005 Went to Circuit city tonight and was informed that they would NOT price match on BF. I went trying to get the 1GB sandisk player.

alimfp Posted November 23, 2005 Share Posted November 23, 2005 Office Depot decided to be nasty and ask for their ads to be pulled. Quite a few of us will not be shopping there on BF (or afterwards) due to their idiotic ways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

malachitecat Posted November 23, 2005 Share Posted November 23, 2005 What is the best one to get for a runner? My husband wants one for his morning runs and I am clueless. He doesn't want a lot of storage so that is not an issue. He needs something that doesn't go on a clip or in a pocket, maybe straps onto his arm? Any help you can give is greatly appreciated, and the cheaper the better!I have the Creative Zen Nano Plus 1 GB. It came with an armband and I use it here at work a lot. I love it! I plan on upgrading to something a little larger though. The nano plus is about $130 for the 1 gb, but you can also get it in 256mb (about $50) and 512mb (about $80).

hambirg Posted November 24, 2005 Share Posted November 24, 2005 Just a heads up. The Sandisk 1GB player on the BF at Circuit City is not the e140 but this one SDMX31024A18. They have their ad up now. I guess I'll have to go to Office Depot which throws thing off a bit because they don't open until 6. Sorry, couldn't post the kink since this is my first post.

babam11218716 Posted November 24, 2005 Share Posted November 24, 2005 Anybody going for the 2gig at walmart. That is the better deal I think because it has 2gigs of space. The one at office depot is 59 with rebate but to get another gig memory card will cost close to 100 dollars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess I'll have to go to Office Depot which throws thing off a bit because they don't open until 6. Sorry, couldn't post the kink since this is my first post. I believe that the m240 (SDMX31024A18)that they are selling at circuit city is the better product. It is the newer prodcut (released in October) and gets a much higher rating at cnet.com (a tech nerd website). It gets rated as a 7.3 (very good), while the old e140 version only got a 5.7 rating (average). FYI i-pods and creative lab rate in the 8.0's to give you an idea of where they both stack up against the competition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
