Title: It takes an effort to make the device work
Product review: i had some problems before i got the player to work.i didn't know how to turn the player on. the short manual was not very good.i had to go to the web to find the sansa manual that told me to press and hold the power button until it starts.i also couldn't sync it with the usb until i found a note that someeone wrote about turning the power off and locking the device before connecting the usb. this fixed the usb connection and i was able to transfer the music files to the device.the player really is very good once it works. i have an apple ipod and i was getting fustrated with the battery life on the device. the battery will die at the worst time. that was the reason i decided to purchase a music player that uses batteries. i always carry a spare battery just in case the current battery dies.i am still trying to learn how to use all the features on the player. i am just a little dissappointed that i have to do some much work to make the player ready.
