"Big Capacity For A Small Sansa Player"

By Mendelson Tiu | Published:16/07/2008

The new Sandisk MP3 player is a ‘mini’ version of the View that we have reviewed in May. But just because it is smaller doesn’t mean that it cannot perform as well as its big brother. We check out Sandisk’s latest offering, the Sansa Fuze, and see how its features and functions add up.

The Fuze comes in different colours (black, blue, pink, and red) and capacities (2, 4, or 8GB) to suit anyone's preference. Users can also expand the memory by up to 8GB (as of this time) by purchasing a microSDHC card – which is perfect for storing more photos, videos, and music files unto the device.

The Sansa Fuze shares a similar layout with the View – the screen takes up half of the player, while the thumbwheel, select button, and home button can be found right below it. The unit's microphone and microSD card slot can be found on the left spine, while the hold and power button can be found on the right spine. In addition, the 3.5mm headphone jack and proprietary connector port are both found at the bottom of the player.

The unit can be charged via USB and can also be powered up using an AC or car adapter (sold separately). The home screen comes with six main icons (Music, Videos, Photos, FM Radio, Voice, and Settings) that make the unit less complicated to use and browse.

Users can transfer music from their computer to the Fuze using the drag-and-drop method or by using music management software like Windows Media Player. The unit supports MP3, WMA, secure WMA, Audible (AA), as well as audiobooks and podcasts in WMA and MP3 format. It is also compatible with MPEG-4 videos (saved as AVI) for video on-the-go and can even display JPEG files saved on the hard drive or memory card.
