This is a review of the SanDisk Sansa Express 2 GB MP3 Player. It is compact and lightweight, inexpensive and ultra-portable.
The Sansa Express MP3 Player is the first ever flash-based mp3 player that comes with a microSD expansion slot and without a cable. Built into the Express is an FM radio tuner, an integrated microphone, audio recording from voice or radio, a brightly illuminated four-line OLED display screen, and controls that are intuitive for easy and quick navigation.
The Sansa Express fits directly into the USB port on any computer. Whether it's the side of your laptop, or the front of your desktop tower, there's no cable, and it's about the size of a pack of gum. Weighing in at less than an ounce, the Sansa Express mp3 player is the very definition of portable.
File formats supported by the Sansa Express include WMA, protected WMA, WAV, Audible, and MP3. If the 2GB of flash memory isn't enough to meet your needs, there is a microSD expansion slot to enlarge your music capacity. Subscription music stores are also supported in most cases. The digital FM radio tuner has the capability of recording radio broadcasts, allowing you to store a favorite song or piece of information for later reference or enjoyment. There is also an option to set up to twenty of your favorite radio stations as presets. If you need to make a quick memo or note to yourself, the Express is ideal. Simply use the integrated microphone, record your voice memo, and access it anytime.
There aren't any difficult programs to download and learn to navigate through with the Sansa Express, either. Once you connect the Express to your computer's USB drive, your operating system will detect it and the Express will show up as an additional drive. Drag and drop your music files from your computer to the Express, and you're done. Unplug the device and go. The battery life is good, and will generally give you up to fifteen hours of use when it is fully charged. You can recharge the battery by simply connecting it to the USB drive on your computer. That means that while you're transferring songs from your computer to the Sansa Express, the battery is also recharging. Included in the retail box are the Sansa Express MP3 Player, lanyard, headphones, USB extension cable, and Quick Start Guide.
The Sansa Express mp3 player is so compact and lightweight, that it is really ideal for just about anyone. It fits in any pocket, and is relatively inexpensive, and is perfect for people who are on the go.

Can SlotMusic Save the Album?
By Shad Connelly
While the demise of the compact disc (CD) has spared a good deal of shelf space, it also has pushed the album to the brink of extinction. Oddly enough, a new format called slotMusic looks at once to eliminate the CD for good and save the album from certain death...
While the demise of the compact disc (CD) has spared a good deal of shelf space, it also has pushed the album to the brink of extinction. And, as anyone who's ever listened to Van Morrison's "Moondance" knows, a great album offers sonic pleasures mere singles can never truly match. Oddly enough, a new format called slotMusic(TM) looks at once to eliminate the CD for good and save the album from certain death.
SanDisk, a company known for its flash memory data storage products, has partnered with four of the top record labels to produce the new music medium. slotMusic are small memory cards that will feature full-length albums and additional content, and are compatible with MP3 players, computers, cell phones, game consoles and more. The tiny slotMusic cards (smaller than postage stamps) will start filtering into stores like Best Buy and Wal-Mart this holiday season, with prices expected to be comparable to CDs. The music on the card will be in the MP3 format and, with no digital rights management copy protection, listeners will be (legally) allowed to transfer music to their PCs, delete songs from the card and fill up open space with their own data (cards initially will have one gigabyte of storage - though that number will be expanded in the future). And, slotMusic has another great thing going for it: accessibility. Unlike past music media (e.g. - records, tapes, CDs), people don't need to have special players to accept the new format since millions of phones, MP3 players and computers are already equipped with microSD card slots.
More portable and digitally compatible than the elderly CD, SanDisk and the labels are betting on slotMusic to "click" with the iTunes generation and help offset plummeting profit margins. Record labels EMI Music, Sony BMG, Universal Music Group and Warner Music Group all have pledged support for slotMusic and will release a mix of current and past albums in the new medium. With figures dropping annually for nearly a decade, consumers purchased only 511 million CDs last year (down from the peak of 942 million in 2000). The music industry, unprepared and unwilling to deal with the effect of downloads on album sales, has mostly just panicked and reacted preposterously. Along with suing music downloaders (AKA: potential customers), they've refused to lower CD prices to lure in buyers. Now, the labels are hoping slotMusic will offer the downloading crowd a more accessible medium. SanDisk reps claim research indicates that a lot of music listeners who prefer digital music would like to have a way to play it in MP3 players and phones without first synching the music through a computer.
While slotMusic has the potential for success, will consumers really go for another physical music format? That remains to be seen. Fact is, it may not just be the CD medium that has become outdated, but the album itself. Nowadays, most people would rather pay a couple bucks to download radio-friendly singles from an album than take a risk on the whole thing. And that's understandable. Think about how many albums you've liked from start to finish in the past year. How about in the past decade? At best, maybe a handful. Even true album purists will admit the majority of the CDs out there are mostly filler. It's gotten to the point where we believe an album is good if we like half the songs - really not a strong percentage at all. And that's the fault of both the artists and the record labels. The music industry has spent far too long focusing on ways to make money rather than producing quality products. Unfortunately for them, the marketing tool of selling CDs based on one hit single backfired with the dawn of the Internet. Now, the hopes of the music industry and the album itself rest on the surface of the slotMusic card. And that may just be too heavy a burden for the tiny device to bear.

SDHC Cards - Sandisk Extreme SDHC Cards
By Leo Schwartz
SDHC cards are Secure Digital High Capacity memory cards. Of the various types of secure digital high capacity devices that are available, one option that is available to consumers is known as Sandisk Extreme SDHC memory cards. These cards were originally introduced in June 2009. The 32GB Extreme Secure Digital High Capacity memory card offers read and write speeds of up to 300MB or 200x. It offers several different capacities beyond the 32GB, including 16GB, 8GB and 4GB. This memory card offers "extreme performance" according to the manufacturer, because it uses ESP or enhanced super-parallel processing technologies.
As far as SDHC memory go the Extreme line of memory cards offer Class 10 performance. When the card was released it was purported to be the fastest of all 32 gigabyte cards on the market. It offers the storage for as many as 2500 RAW images on a single card and they can be operated at extreme temperatures including 13 degrees Fahrenheit to up to 185 degrees Fahrenheit. This Sandisk Extreme SDHC has been marketed to help digital photographers stretch the boundaries of their DSLR cameras even further, because high capacity like 32 MB cards are required for HD video and photography shooting.
SDHC memory is capable of offering a wide variety of different performance levels. Sometimes the best way to determine what SDHC card is right is simply to test out different models and find the one that best suits your needs. If you want to test the Sandisk Extreme SDHC, you can use an ImageMate reader and writer. This will give you a feel for what the performance is like using different file types and sizes depending on how you intend to use the card. Test driving the memory card in this manner will give you a good indicator of whether or not it is going to meet your needs.
With this and other SDHC cards, performance tends to increase when the file size increases. All cards in the Sandisk Extreme SDHC line offer similar performance. Benchmark tests have been positive, showing that these cards offer excellent speed and performance, just as the name states. These cards offer solid performance for DSLR cameras and the photographers that use them. Photographers that are looking for a solid SDHC memory card that offers fast read and write speed will likely benefit from this line of memory cards and the advantages that they offer.

Best Bargain Ideas For Christmas Gifts - The SanDisk Sansa MP3 Player
By Valerie Mills
Hey - Get with the program! Halloween is over. Thanksgiving is coming soon. And if you want one of the best bargain ideas for your online Christmas shopping - you're reading the right article.
Hey - Get with the program! Halloween is over. Thanksgiving is coming soon.
And if you want the best bargain ideas for Christmas gifts - you're reading the right article.
For The Fitness Addict And The Music Lover
This best Christmas gift - the SanDisk Sansa MP3 Player - is the perfect bargain present for the fitness addict or the music lover.
How do I know? I got one of these wee mp3 players because I joined a fitness club and quickly discovered treadmilling or bicycling was no fun at all unless I had music or could LISTEN to the TVs in front of me.
Funny thing, the TVs required an FM radio if you wanted to hear what was happening. So, I searched for an mp3 player (gotta have music, too!) with an FM radio and with positive, at least 4-star Amazon reviews.
Easy To Load Music
One of the best features of the SanDisk Sansa MP3 Player is that it's so simple to add music. No software required - the SanDisk acts like a memory stick for music. You just copy your album/songs from your PC to the SanDisk player.
And It's A Bargain Buy
When you check out mp3 players, prices can get high, but the SanDisk is well under $50 AND it comes with a voice recorder too. I tested that out by asking an instructor to record a lecture with the SanDisk - the sound quality was perfect!
If you feel generous with your gifting, you could add a pair of headphones. That could bring the price above $50 depending on the type of headphones you get. Note that the little earbuds do NOTHING to drown out the fitness club piped in music!
