    The controls are easy to figure out. I like it because it runs on AAA batteries. I honestly hate ion batteries, because they die eventually. Read more

    I realy liked that it has an FM radio, but didn't like the that it didn't come with an owner's manual. There doesn't seem to be an "off" button. Read more

The SanDisk Sansa m260 is portable and very lightweight that makes it the best for every person. It is one of the finest players which has ample space for storage. But there are certain drawbacks which one will sometimes have to face with these players. The SanDisk Sansa m260 is a special music system that has FM radio along with some unique controls. On the outside it looks a little heavy and bulky but if you hold it in your hands you will realise that it is really very light. It is not easily damaged but sometimes there might be some problem with the casing and nothing more than that. It is very lightweight and also quite chunky and this is part of its appeal. It can easily be slipped into the pocket without any problem. It has a non-colour display screen which is one of the major disadvantages.

One of the most important advantages of this system is the controls and the interaction of these with the music system which is very necessary for its operation and this is something which is missing in many systems. It has a white coloured front that works out to be the best with four touch pad systems which are very light and delightful to use. A small screen is present on the left of the touch pad with volume controls and menu which are placed usually at the top. It is very user friendly. The sound quality is just a completely delightful experience. It has another important feature which is that the player restarts at the same point where it started even after it is completely turned off. It is a music player which can easily be used by just about anyone due to the simplicity of its functions and portability.
