Default Well, I just bought an MP3 player...

I spent 3 hours loading/organizing music onto my new SanDisk E280 8gb flash MP3 player. I played 2 songs and the ****** locked up and is ******* dead...low lit screen...will not turn off...no text...TURDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!


I guess I'll go get my money back in the morning. What a piece of ****!
Maybe I'll just buy some shoes instead....or toilet paper...or something I can actually ******* use.

don't jack around with the bullshit imposters, the iPod is the best one. Also, all the cool gadgets and accesories only work with iPod too.

My phone plays as many Mp3's as my miniSD card can hold.....The new Ipods are cool though. Especially if you integrate them into the home and car system.

X2 I bought a cheap MP3 player from them last year. Takes forever to load, works okay. Nine Ball is right about the accessories. Im getting ready to put this one on ebay and buy the Nano. Got all signed up with Itunes yesterday.

My Sandisk works great. And i actually chose it over an ipod. You probably got a bad one out of like 1500 or something. And i'm sure there are plenty of ipods that screw up that quick too.

I pods are good if your not computer savy and need something easy, but you have to admit they have alot of accessories. Ive had my I-audio mp3 player for a while and it has alot of features. My wife has the I-pod nano pretty cool.

Yeah guys. I don't get it. I did my research and this model SanDisk ranked very high on most every website...CNet etc. Higher than the Nano.
I got up this morning and it was off. I tried to turn it on and it read "low battery..." I plugged it in and now it is charging, and the menu is back up. I'm not sure if I want to give it another chance or just take the dang thing back.

It's USB. The scroll wheel stayed BRIGHT all night until this morning (it powered itself down). It was just locked up for some reason.

Does your computer have the sleep mode on it?? That might have enabled then shut off the usb. Causing it not to charge.

LOL! 10-11 cases!

The thing is working fine now...user error?
If it gives me any problems in the next few days, it's going back.

This thing has worked absolutely perfect since this incident. I have listened to it daily at work.
Maybe I had happy fingers at first and scared the **** out of it. I don't know. LOL!
