Affordable MP3 player for the technologically inept!

by thriftymommy , Jul 11 '06
Pros: Price, ease of use, great for first timer like me!
Cons: Only 120 songs may inhibit those more technologically savvy; can only use enclosed USB cable.
I recently purchased a five of these handy dandy MP3 players for $18 each at a popular electronics store and decided to give technology a chance at impressing me. Since I still have cassette tapes and am grudgingly switching over to CDs (I've got a CD ...

Nice starter MP3 player for the casual user

by chasmosaur , Oct 26 '06
Pros: Inexpensive, ergonomically comfy, FM tuner great for gym TV's
Cons: Incl. carrying case flimsy, short USB cord
INTRO I decided I wanted an MP3 Player six months ago, because it is far more compact than my portable CD player. So I was not looking for crystal clear reproduction or to store my entire music library. I simply wanted a machine I could use ...

Pros: Good price, FM radio, well-designed menus, dual use as a flash drive

My Favorite Mp3 Player

by pink_rocker29 , Jun 16 '06
Pros: size, sound quality, menu features, extras (stopwatch, radio, voice recorder), display
Cons: volume control jams at times, provided plastic case
I think SanDisk did a great job making this device. The Sansa M230 is about as long as my middle finger. It's pretty small so I can stash it anywhere. *Controls* The button controls are decent. The 4-way control on the player is very easily ...

Not bad at all for the price.

by erick7302 , Feb 27 '06
Pros: Good sound, low price, AAA battery, FM tuner, voice recording, stopwatch.
Cons: Somewhat cheap build quality, user's guide on a CD-ROM.
The SanDisk Sansa m230 MP3 player is a full-featured player that should satisfy anyone's needs. For the price, the player has a lot of features. It plays MP3 and WMA files, of course - it also claims to work with subscription music, but I never tested ...

The Best 512 MB Player on the Market

by lordmaximus591 , Jul 24 '06
Pros: Battery life, color scheme, durability, sound quality, FM radio, and it's palm size
Cons: Only compatible with Windows XP Media Player, durability of earbuds, instructional CD
The Sansa m230 is 512 MB, blue, and worth every penny. It has lots of usable features that are easy to use and are well-done for the price. It’ll run you about $30 at Best Buy after you mail-in a rebate. Besides, being able to record your own ...

Awesome MP3 Player for the Price

by jstergis , Jan 01 '07
Pros: Aesthetics, Ease of Use, Sound Quality, Price, Value, Everything!
Cons: Headphones that come with it are cheap
I Saw this on sale at Best Buy on Black Friday 2005 for 30$. UNPACKING IT As I unpacked the box I found rather cheap headphones, a USB cable, a AAA battery, A business card CD, and a plastic cover with a black flexible velcro strap. FIRST ...

Works with Linux - Best value for price

by royal73 , Nov 12 '05
Pros: Sound, price, AAA battery, usb mass storage (linux compatible), FM radio, WMA, MP3, small
Cons: No memory expansion, no color display w/JPEG or Movie support
The decision to purchase the Sansa m230 player was based on price, size and flexibility. I wanted a player that was small, but cheap, compatible with both WMA (Windows Media Audio) and MP3, as well as USB mass storage support, and including ...

Fair-quality, affordable MP3 player great for the "beginner" user

by jenareu , Nov 02 '08
Pros: Small/lightweight; voice-recording feature; AM/FM radio; good song capacity; affordable
Cons: Not durable; "cheap" make; little song organization; low battery life; poor voice-recording song quality
The SanDisk Sansa m230 is a comfortably small and lightweight MP3 player that could work well for just about anyone. Palm-sized and much more portable than the average medium-quality player, the SanDisk m230 features an AM/FM radio, somewhat limited ...

A Solid Budget MP3 Player

by ayk1987 , Jan 29 '06
Pros: Low Price. Good fit and finish. Easy Menus. Great Sound.
Cons: Battery costs add up. Orginizing music takes time.
For a budget MP3 player, the m230 is a great choice. It's half the price of an Ipod shuffle with equivalent memory. The headphones are nice as is the case and armband. Orginizing music is a slow process and I end up just putting it on shuffle. ...

Extremely simple, but superior performer...

by ohd222 , Jul 13 '08
Pros: Inexpensive, versatile, powered by common, readily available AAA battery
Cons: Fast forward and reverse functions limited. Display scrolls very slowly.
Back in early 2006, I finally decided that it was time for me to purchase my first solid-state audio player. I did a fair amount of research on the subject before deciding that I was going to opt in favor of the iPod Shuffle. According to their ad in ...

Great Bang for the Buck!!

by jirodriguez , May 16 '07
Pros: Cost, easy to use, flash drive use, good sound, FM Radio.
Cons: Battery life, no expandable memory (from a flash memory maker no less)
Bought the 1 Gig M240 for my wife and ended up getting a M230 for myself off of E-Bay for $5 (plus $10 shipping). Right out of the package it was very straight forward and easy to use. One thing I noticed is a lot of people say they are having ...

Not impressed

by alltheneatest , Aug 05 '06
Pros: Copious features, easy to use, lightweight
Cons: Not durable, terrible battery life, mediocre sound
I bought this mp3 player in March or April 2006 to replace my Sony E-505 mp3 player, which kicked the bucket (literally) after I dropped it in one filled with water. Before that I had an iRiver, which was a fantastic player, but I was attracted to the ...

by da_sk0ol_grl , Jul 20 '07
Pros: inexpensive, convenient, great for the price
Cons: More work than needed in order to keep this player working!
Its a great mp3 player for the price however I have had a lot of problems that came about while uploading songs. I got this mp3 player as a gift and loved the fact that it is very accessible and has an FM radio player included with it. This is perfect ...
