I've been meaning to buy a decent MP3 player for months, and having just shelled out good money on getting my son's iPod Classic repaired after less than a year of use, decided to give this a try. As a Nikon professional camera user, I know and trust SanDisk products but was completely unprepared for the value the Fuze represents. It actually looks, feels and sounds like a quality piece of kit. The headphones provided are pretty dreadful, but then I was prepared to use my own anyway - standard 3.5mm jack so no issue there. The only 'charger' is the USB lead provided which doesn't bother me too much, though cheap mains adapters are available on e-Bay and I'll probably get one eventually.
The real plus points are:
1)the sound quality, which with decent headphones is outstanding.
2)the radio, which auto tunes according to geographical region and sets presets for the strongest available signals. Reception is surprisingly good - so far tried in the US and UK
3)Screen quality. Ignore what you might read elsewhere, this screen works well enough for me to look at synch'd images from my camera. Tiny, but good colour and clear.
4)Video - The wide screen trailer for the new Bond is currently impressing a few family members! Great sound and watchable.
5)Sound recording - I wasn't prepared for the quality of the internal mike and recording. Stick it in the middle of a conference table and record the meeting minutes live. Really quite impressive.
6) Sandisk website support. Downloading the latest firmware - advisable - was a doddle
7) Pre-loaded sampler of music. Now this may be unique to the US version which I bought but there were some great tracks pre-loaded on this thing. 'Umphrey's Mcgee', 'Wine, Women and Song' for a start.
8) Micro SD card support. Around £13 buys you a SanDisk 8Gb card which, when added, actually works as seamless additional storage.
9) No iTunes trap. Either use Windows explorer to drag and drop files across, or better still just let Windows Media Player synch the files for you
All in all, an excellent player.

Looks/Feel:
First things first, straight out of the box this little mp3 player looks stunning, the photo here fails to give it justice. It' a good weight in the hand, and the 'wheel' feels very solid
Basic controls:
The controls and menu browsing are beautiful in their simplicity, even people with a very limited knowledge of these gadgets (me, for example) need not even read the enclosed instructions.
Connectivity:
The interface with widows is excellent, with Vista recognising the Fuze straight away. The "drag & drop" method of storing your song information couldn't be easier, and it is very fast - it transferred around 2 gig of music files very very rapidly.
Sound:
The best part of this player (and of course the most important!) is the sound. I'll admit that on first listen I wasn't very impressed with the factory pre-sets, but there is an option to fully customize the sound using the custom equalizer setting. This proved excellent and I was able to attain (for me personally) the perfect sound.- FANTASTIC
Screen:
The screen is just the right size, it's very clear and the display is aesthetically pleasing. The photos supplied seem very sharp and well defined, but I am yet to try my own pictures in the device.
Extras.
The addition of FM radio is a very welcome feature. The signal is clear and tuning the radio is relativity simplistic. The supplied earphones are also good quality.
Overall:
Brilliant. I struggle to find fault with this lovely looking, affordable, good quality device. Well worth the money.

Amazon Verified Purchase
I bought this as an upgrade for my wife's birthday who has been quite happily using a 2Gb Sansa Clip up till now but I was beginning to be aware of the poor interface compared to more modern models and the fact that 2Gb is quite low by today's standards. The other factor affecting my purchase was that it has a stated 24-hour charge spec which is about the best you can expect for these mini-sized players (and a 66% improvement on the 15 hours of the clip) and that it can take a micro-SD card for expansion if necessary. I cannot comment on the video as this was not something I was bothered about as she has a Galaxy S that is far more suited to video playback should she want to do this. Main thing for the Fuze was to be ultra-portable, a reasonable capacity and a nicer interface and it got a tick in the box on all 3 for a nice reasonable price because it isn't cutting-edge. In fact, if you look at the poor reviews that the newer Fuze+ gets, you will see that cutting-edge isn't always "better". Overall I'd say it is one of the best for value and usability for its price range. I dropped one star because the 3rd-party supplier that Amazon was using sent it in a plain unmarked cardboard box which made me think that it was possibly a refurb but I have no way of knowing or proving this -- there were no scratches or previous user's music on there so it is just cosmetics of packaging that I am bleating about really because I don't know why it came in a "plain brown box". I opened it before giving it anyway in order to fully charge it and put a few 'starter' albums on so I don't suppose it matters really. Oh, I nearly forgot, one thing to beware of is DO NOT choose "European English" as your language preference (choose Worldwide or US) because the EU thought police have decreed that MP3 players must have a limit placed on the volume and it is so limited as to be pathetic if you choose that option. If you choose it by mistake then simply do a factory reset and choose one of the others instead.
