Quality Control?????
The first Sansa View I received worked great, but it would not hold a charge on the battery for more than five hours (advertised as 35 hour capacity). Also a slight amount of heat given off as battery discharged. Amazon replaced with no problem.

Second Sansa View had a battery that would last a very long time, but it would freeze up at the introduction screen when it was turned on. Leave it alone and most of the time it would eventually come on and play mp3s. I returned that one to Amazon too.

I am now going to get an IPOD.

Disappointed
The Sansa View 16GB was returned after I had it for only two days.I spent many hours attempting to load music onto it, with limited success. The instructions were minimal, and doing a drag and drop of music files did not work reliably. I spent some time on the phone with tech support; they took me through the process of music transfer from my PC to the View. When the file transfer was complete, only a small portion of the music files showed up on the View.

Since I did like the size, display, and thumb wheel of the device, I was disappointed that the View just wouldn't function properly for me.

Another Great Sansa
Sansa continues its success with another affordable mp3 player. The View is solidly built and very functional. I bought this for our home stereo system. Its interface simple enough that the whole family can use it.

Does not play AudioBooks
Despite the claims of the Best Buy salesman, the Sansa View is unable to play Audio Books from NetLibrary websites. It is not WMA compatible. I only wanted to listen to AudioBooks with this MP3 player, so it is now obsolete to me.

Not too great
I think they forgot to put the decimal point in when they claimed a whopping 35 hours playback time. Mine got more like 3.5.

It didn't seem to be reverse compatible with my wall charger or my cigarette lighter charger. You plug it into them and it either shows the charging animation for a few seconds than goes out or doesn't show it at all. Which tied me to my laptop which sucked. The best I ever got when I timed it was 14 hours but as time went by this seemed to get worse and worse. It seemed every time I turned around it needed charging again. I actually returned the first one for this reason, and had the same problem with the second one. But getting 14 hours out of it decided not to return it also. (big mistake)

Locks up a lot playing simple mp3's

The fast forward button (not jog dial) only has one speed approximately 8x so if your trying to fast forward though a 1 hour podcast expect your finger to get pretty tired holding the button down. When this happens and you slip and push it again it changes modes to thinking you want to go to the next song so the 6 minutes you held down the button was for nothing now, start all over! I don't know how many times I've done this even knowing the problem it's hard to avoid.

Last the extra large screen is great! For viewing your menu's and what not, but it also makes the unit much more venerable to TOTAL DESTRUCTION! I was leaning up against a bench seat with it in my pocket and pushed the cheap plastic shield right into the fragile lcd display and totally destroyed it. After having done this I just pressed with my finger and it takes hardly a pound of pressure to push the protective clear plastic shield into the fragile led! If you have one of these DON'T CARRY IT IN YOUR POCKET. Buy a case and attach it to your belt.
