SanDisk Docking Station for Sansa View? Does anyone know if "SanDisk Docking Station for Sansa c200 and e200 Series Players" can be used with Sansa View?

Yes, sort of. there is two removable "socket supports" that dont fit the View, I think because the base station was designed before the view. But as you may know many accessories from the 200 series work on the View. What I do is "balance" the View on the base connector. because the two provided "socket supports" dont fit the View. . but the connector is very substantial on its own. If you are careful the View stands on it's own to my satifaction, but I live alone and don't have to risk a uncareful hand in the setup, It will bend or collapse if it is not allowed to sit unmolested. Also the volume function that the unit offers with it's remote does not function with the view. I tested the volume function with a old 200 series, and it worked fine, so I know it's not base unit at fault . Also as an aside when the GUI does it's little freezeup routine the "skip" function will not work. I have to reboot my View on a regular basis anyway. I like that is connected to my surround main system and stays charged. With all that, it's really not much different from using an identical one eighth inch to rca direct from the headphone jack.at the same time keeping a wall charger (very available) same as the 200 series works just as well as a so called View wall charger. You will spend up to $100 for nothing in my opinion. Some say that there is an improvement in sound quality thru the dock. I dont believe that. You are listening to compressed music any way, right? Hope this helps, JG

While I have XP at home, I have 2000 at work. I can confirm that the Sansa definitely works in both locations in MSC mode.

I am trying to find out the same information. I did find the following statemnet that says it works with the m200 series...: With SanDisk's Sansa Speaker Dock, you can share and listen to your MP3 player's music anywhere. Get high-performance sound quality from your Sansa e100 and m200 series MP3 players, most other available MP3 players, as well as through any device with a standard 3.5mm headphone jack, typical on most laptops and CD/DVD players with the included cable. The Sansa Speaker Dock comes with an AC adapter, and gets hours of continuous playback with four AA batteries (not included).

Works fine on Windows7. Sansa/Sandisk description is not complete. I just purchased A Clip Sport. I like it much better.

I have owned a Sansa e260 4gb for about a year now and have been really happy with it.I had to return 2 of them to Sandisk that locked up for know apparent reason,but their customer service was great and they shipped them to me quickly and have not had a problem with the new one now for over 6 months.I recently purchased 2 of the new Sansa views for my daughters for Christmas,although I have not used them yet I am very satisfied with their products.The view is thinner than mine and also lighter.But the main advantage is that the screen is larger on the view and it is 8gb(they also have a 16gb view) and also has the expansion slot to increase up to 4 additional gb if you would like.I looked at the view at a Circuit City and liked it alot.I was'nt able to listen to it though but I read some other reviews and they all said pretty much the same thing that it sounded great.You can get info on Sandisk web site about the view also, that is where I found info on the new View as well.Hopefully this will help you on your decision to which one to purchase.The one I have ,I have purchased a few extra items for it such as a silicone skin to protect it,a travel charger to charge in the car or wall outlet,a base that charges it as well as lets you play it through your home stereo.That is one advantage with the old unit,is that there is a lot of options to accessorize it,as where the new one does'nt have many yet.

My suggestion is to go to their WEB site and download the manual. See below:http://mp3support.sandisk.com/sansa/UserManual/CLIP/CLIP_UM_English.pdf

I have a slightly older model sansa, but it works fine with vista so I'd assume this one does as well.

Quick question can I use more than a 2gb card for my Sandisk Sansa e250 2GB MP3 Player?

I have had not problem with my card. It should work with the Sansa assuming that you have not formatted it for some system that locks the card, most notably a windows 7 phone. The question that you need to answer is if the Sansa will recognize all 16 gig of the card.

Don't know because I don't own a Sansa Radio slot card. I would ask SanDisk.

I highly recommend any of the Sansa Clips; I have the Clip and the Zip. I also recommend getting the RockBox firmware to replace the system that comes with them because of all the enhancements that RockBox gives you, such as better sound (yes, the highly rated sound of these devices can be improved), an incredible amount of additional features and tweaks, and the apps and games that come with it -- I can play chess on this thing! Awesome!

I first bought a Coby -- incompatible with Overdrive. My only experience is with Sansa -- check BestBuy online; there was a good deal on 4 GB last month. It took me over 6 months to discover how to put Overdrive books into the Book section, rather than Music -- so, I am sticking with the Sansa Clip Zip.

I had the same problem of not having USB as a menu selection and Wal-Mart WMA's not syncing to the sansa c250. I ran the updater from the Sansa Website, did the hold/left arrow reboot as shown in another post here, and here's the kicker, I had to reformat the c250, thus losing my stored items. It was easy enough, though time consuming to reload everything and I was able to sync the Wal-Mart WMA's. It took me a long time to find this out after a lot of internet surfing and I hope it helps everyone who is not seeing USB on their menu.

That's because it doesn't fit. Check out all the one star reviews. Amazon needs to stop bundling this item with the Sansa. Frustrating, isn't it.

I know sansa supports audio books, not sure which format though. If you install rockbox, I believe it supports many formats. Will make your battery last considerably longer. It is noticable

Oh this is easy. You can run Rockbox on the e280, and I do not believe it has been ported to the View. If you are getting it primarily to listen to music, you will want to learn about Rockbox, and how to run it on the Sansa. Rockbox is a free gift from music lovers to music lovers. It is a bit technical and not for the faint of heart! Be bold, and ROCKBOX the e280!

The sansa comes with a usb port to charge it. This is when you do not have a usb (computer) available.
