Hey all,

I'm looking to buy a Flash based mp3 player for a friend. She needs an FM tuner so Ipods are out of the question due to that and cost of the units + buying the add-on tuner.

I've been looking at the Sandisk Sensa e260 - $148.54

It has 4 GB + you can add a microSD card which are becoming cheaper and cheaper. And it has a built in tuner.

The Creative unit I've been looking at is the Creative Zen Micro - $129.53

This one has pretty much the same thing as the Sandisk minus the microSD slot.

She isn't an audio quality nut like I think I am so I'm just looking for something that is going to last her awhile. I'm kind of leading towards the Sandisk because she'll be able to add a 1 or 2 GB microSD cards to jump her up to 5 or 6 GB.
The only thing that I'm not sure about with the Sandisk is the build quality. Creative has been in the mp3 player market since it started so I know their units will perform well after awhile (unless they've started building them on the cheap so you have to buy a new model every year (see Apple)).

Let me know what you think, or recommend a different device or brand.


Thanks
 
you can get the zen micro up to 6 gigs and the zm photo up to 8 gigs. I love my regular monochrome 6 gig zen micro. sounds nice, looks nice, performs well.
 
I'd personally get the Sandisk. The build quality is very good imho based on the 5 minutes I played with it at Best Buy.

I was planning on just getting the 4GB version but it's nice that they offer 6 and 8 GB as well.
