Even if now, since Apple introduced the new generations of iPod Shuffle, the MP3 players are seen as old fashioned, SanDisk brings Sansa Express with built-in USB, a compact flash player of 1GB intern memory at only $59.99.
Sansa is a simple USB MP3 player, looking like a small pack of chewing gum, it has a cap covering the USB. Although its back is classic silver, its front brings up the surprise: a shiny, mirror-like inlay, enough to check your lipstick. Its screen is small, dual-color OLED, displaying a orange and blue font on a black background, around it, it has a main „select” key, surrounded by buttons for track shuffle, by a Play/Pause key and a menu button. The power key is at the top of the player and the volume control it is find
at its bottom. The headphone jack, is on the left side while there is another built-in microphone for voice recording, and a microSD card expansion slot for improving player’s memory.
For the low price of which it benefits SanDisk offers a very impressive gamma of features: voice recording and memory expansion, also it has a FM tuner with autoscan that can record up to twenty tracks. The player also has support for MP3, WAV, WMA and Audible files, and playlists too. You also have special options for creating an “on-the-go” playlist. You don’t need any special programs, and is so easily to add music to your device, either using Media Player or either use the drag and drop method. The easy to manipulate menus are handily arranged by the Creative step-down interface. Even though you cat get an art album, or view pictures with it, and even if it isn’t technically compatible with Macs, you are still able to transfer MP3s from a MacBook Pro to your player, useless to say that the quality isn’t rising on top.

The Sansa Express did well in its tests, holding up its position in its class. An interesting surprise was that it managed to pick up all the signals from all the stations in the area in which it was tested, and the hearing was really good, so one point for it. As the same thing with the voice recorder which worked surprisingly well. As the headphone surround system worked admirably, which means you don’t need to pair it with any headphones, you also have a big variety of EQ settings: normal, pop, rock, jazz, classical and custom, that helps you to fine-tune the sound to your tastes. Still you can always check to improve you sound quality, by swooping trough the city in looking for some better headphones which could help you to softly bring out a low end. The bass addicted will probably be a little disappointed while, the music did fine, but not as smooth and rich-and-full as other top players. The battery can cause a little problem, while it can be considered decent, having a life up to 15 hours.
