I have the 8gb Sansa Clip, and have found the FM reception to be surprisingly good. I was told by a Best Buy employee that the Fuze has even better reception.

Note: The Fuze+ plays Microsoft WMA files and MP3 files and AA (Audible.com audiobooks) files.

I too had no luck with Rhapsody to go on the Sansa Fuze, after doing everything i could think of, firmware updates, installed windows updates, reinstalled Rhapsody, formatted my device. After too much frustration, i switched to Napster to go and it works perfectly. I like Rhapsody Unlimited but i need to be able to load my mp3 player up and i could never get Rhapsody to work at all with my mp3 Fuze. Rhapsody is best for those who want to listen online only, but Napster is best if you have an mp3 player you want to load up.

Overdrive has books in MP3 and Secure WMA format. This player will play either one. I have used both many, many times.

I see the entry below and wonder why. So far I've had an excellent experience with my unit. I bought it all and didn't really need the FM booster. Still, puts out sound like a full sized unit, in my humble opinion. Would I do it again? So far, you betcha'!!

Sandisk has been for me a good value and the right feature set - I've owned several, including the Express, the Fuze and the m200 series. As previously noted, they all have FM radios and the navigation on all of them is pretty much the same thing. Cannot speak to video quality; audio is fine - I've found that for me, the audio is so much affected by the earbuds or earphones used that it makes sense to get good ones.

Actually on Windows, I convert my CD's to mp3 using the included Microsoft Media Player. Under the "rip music" tab in the preference you can select the format as "mp3" and dial up the "Audio Quality" to as much as 320 bps. Once set in preferences it runs automatically every time I stick in a CD. You don't need to add software to do this.For me the sound quality seem great ... but do note I am no longer a young person and my hearing is not what it used to be ... so this particular part of my opinion should be taken with that in mind.

The sansa fuze 4GB has better audiobooks then the sansa clip. I a own both of them i bought the clip first and then the fuze i would give the clip 4 stars on audiobooks, and the fuze 5. the fuze has bookmarking.

I listen to old time radio stores in MP3 not audiobook format, and I want to bookmark them, will I be able to do that in the fuze?

Haven't tried AM, but FM is absolutely TOP NOTCH. Clearest recordings I've ever had.

I'm going to ask you one more question if you don't mind. If I just want the best player I can find to listen to music and don't care about lists, album art, interfaces or anything else. I just want to put my songs on the player and listen to them in the order they come up, which do you recommend? (Can you tell I'm an old lady and just love to listen to music? LOL!) All that matters to me is good sound, ease of putting songs on the player, number of songs I can add to the player and how long it will play music on one charge. Even the Cowan 160 GB player sounds interesting to me.

I have a fuze, any micro sd card will work with it, it is formatted to accept HC micro sd. You may have to format the card before you use it, however. Check which format your music is in and see if it is supported by the fuze if your songs are not playing.

Yep. The tuner in this is so good, there are even hacks to enable the analog FM exclusively. Audiokarma is a good place to read about the tuner.

I've used both the Fuze and Fuze+ for ONLY audiobooks for years, and in fact they return to the point you left off in the audiobook. The Fuze+ has (IMHO) the 'slicker' question feature (Do you want to return...) I've always grouped tracks together (using an old version of iTunes), so I don't know what the players do when only individual tracks are played. HTH!

You won't be sorry if you choose the Sansa Fuze MP3 player. I have two of them now, the 4 gig and the small 2 gig Sansa Clip. I previously bought iPods for my grown children as gifts and am very familair with their functions, but the Fuze goes way beyond them and the price is well less than half of that of a comparable iPod. Read my review of the Fuze above. I think the audio and video quality is as good as you can expect, but mainly depends on the quality of the digital input from whatever device you take them from. The one thing iPods have over the Sansa products, as well as most other MP3 players, is the abundance of peripheral devices to use with the iPod. You can find all sorts of things that accept the iPod, but usually have to find devices for the Sansa here on Amazon or other on line sites. They exist, you just have to look harder for them. My advice....don't hesitate...get the Sansa Fuze and look here on Amazon for other devices to use with them if you feel the need. I did, and don't regret my choice at all.
