5Great mp3 player---survived washer and dryer---still sounds perfect !!Feb 18, 2010
My wife has used her Sansa m240 for over 3 years now. She uses it while jogging 5 times a week and has not had any problems with it. Until she accidently put it through the washer and the dryer!! She heard a thump--thump sound in the dryer. Turned out it was her Sansa m240!! Anyway I figured it was "toast" but opened it up and took out the battery---then let it dry out overnight. It would start up but acted very strange-----would not respond to most of the controls etc. etc. So I decided to do a "reset" followed by a complete re-format using "fat" in "msc" mode. Once I reloaded the music it seemed to work----I couldn't believe it !! It seemed to respond slowly so I found someone's forum post which suggested to make sure the custom equalizer settings were all set "flat" (no special equalizer settings)----make sure to check that the custom is checked in the equalizer . The volume then increased noticeably----the unit started to respond much quicker and the sound quality was the best I'd ever heard on this unit. I would highly recommend this Sansa m240 !!

4Good for first MP3 playerFeb 11, 2010
I bought this for my nine year old daughter and she loves it....it is good for someone who does not want to go out and purchase an expensive one or if they are not going to be using it much. The biggest problem with the device is that once you put songs on it, you can not delete them....so you better really like the songs you put on there. Also, the headphones went out on her about a month after she got it....so we bought some new ones for about $10, which ended up being louder and better than the orginal ones. Other than those things, it is a good MP3 player for the younger ones or someone new to using them.

5Fantastic mp3 player at a great price!Dec 07, 2009
I bought this player about two years ago, and I still love it. I listen to it while running several miles a week, and it has even kept me motivated while running two half-marathons. I haven't had any problems with it whatsoever. It's lightweight, reliable, easy to use--and the price is right.

3Backlight won't work with rechargeable batteriesDec 04, 2009
I've had the Sansa m240 for about a week. It plays my recorded podcasts just fine and battery life seems much longer than with the Creative Nano it replaced. One annoyance, though: I use rechargeable AAA batteries (1.2v), not alkaline AAA batteries (1.5v). I seems the lower voltage rechargeables keep the backlight on the display from working. Also, it feels kind of cheap in hand..but still worth the $20 I paid.

5Deceptively goodNov 30, 2009
I felt a little foolish praising a $20 MP3 player, but now that they have more than doubled the price, I feel better.

The Sansa M240 is not a cheap sounding player, and the reason may be because it doesn't have the usual cheap chips. Sansa is now selling M240s with version 4.x, which means they have changed the electronics four times. I found a website that listed the chips used in the M240, as of 2008, and they were the same as used in much more expensive players, and the main chip has FLAC and video capability, which this model obviously does not use. So, for some reason, Sansa found it convenient to dump some fine chips into a dirt cheap player, perhaps because they were left over from discontinued models, or they got a good deal?

I have the Sansa E250, version 1 and version 3. This M240 sounds almost identical to the discontinued E250 version 1, but not at all like the version 3 (it sounds much better). I tested this by putting the same MP3 of Beethoven's Fifth Symphony, fourth movement, on both and AB'ing with a first rate stereo system. Both had excellent stereo imaging and detail. The E250 sounded a bit smoother, the M240 a bit brighter.

I am now listening to Beethoven's Triple Concerto over a stereo with the M240 as a source. If I didn't know, I would not have guessed the source was a $20 MP3 player. The solo instruments are vividly distinct and positioned, even with the orchestra going full blast.

Mine came with a soft vinyl case and armbad. The earphones are sufficient for audiobooks.

I use Nimh batteries, and the backlight works fine. It's got an easy to use sleep timer, too. The voice recorder is good enough to record meetings. Firmware updates are available through SanDisk.

Cons? I wish it had FLAC capability. There is a slight gap between tracks. The track time counter is impossible to read without magnification, and fast forwarding is slow. Battery life on Nimh AAAs is probably less than 10 hours. I wish it was a 2 gb, but I solved that problem: I bought two.
