SanDisk Sansa

SanDisk® Sansa™ 6 GB e270 MP3 Player
(costco.ca)
185$+tax

The next generation of Sansa's, this one boasts basically all the features of it's older brother. Unfortuantely it does not come with the protective pseudo leather jacket of it's predessor, so watch out!! Those LCD displays scratch like a cat in heat. Once again, the video playback is tilted 90 degrees out of sync with typical use.

One thing I neglected to mention last time is how awkward it is navigating around and opening up folders while viewing through windows, and it isn't straight forward naming albums and artists while accessing it through /My Computer/Removable Storage/ Sansa etc. I found it more convienent to download albums using bittorents, start playing the entire album with Windows Media Player, click 'Sync', and drag and drop the entire album. You can always delete the unwanted songs afterwards, as opposed to trying to add a single song and then adjust it's details. There is also a FM tuner and a voice recorder on it, but I am yet to test those features out.
