Sansa: The Best MP3 Device I keep in mind the times when the Sony Walkman came out: a transportable gadget to listen to those old cassettes that could so easily get jammed within the player. What a mess that at all times was, all that tape getting all bunched up and ruined. I actually am glad the advancements in portable music players has made the gadgets smaller and the amount of storage available is just so a lot better than the 12 songs on these old tapes. I can now have a limiteless quantity, relying on the formatting of the system you're utilizing and the size of the hard drive or reminiscence cards. And no extra tape being ruined when it eats my music; I do not have to stick my pencil via the holes of the tape and slowly wind it again into the cassette, thanks. I not have that first Walkman, it fell approach to the Sony Discman, which fell means, actually fell into the bathroom one morning, to my first mp3 player. I don't remember who the producer of that first mp3 gadget was, but I was so enthused when I first got it. But then, after a few week I seen the batteries within the device would die practically everyday, and that is not cheap. I was now not proud of my buy. I might have been able to get about 50 songs on that first one, however the cost of continually shopping for batteries was not cool. I at present have the Sansa from SanDisk. It's a cool little gadget; nice and sleek looking with ample storage capabilities and a nice show display. Although, the one which I have is just a 4gig it has a slot for mini SDHC playing cards for extra storage. And, for all that it matters, I don't should keep changing the battery as it's rechargeable, just like something value having these days. I can load my music onto the Sansa with ease and take heed to some superior music as I cruise down the street on my bike. Just put it on shuffle and the songs will repeatedly play in my ears. And once I am the street, touring by practice or flight, I can watch a movie click as it plays video as nicely. I think the one thing that I do not like concerning the Sansa is the fact that individuals haven't heard about this fabulous gadget. While all of my friends have the ipod from Apple I actually have a cost-effective system that, I assume, performs just as good, and sometimes higher. My battery life is bigger than theirs, and that may hold my music taking part in longer and they will be lurking over my shoulder while I watch a video clip as I commute to work on the lightrail or bus.
