Title: Sansa SlotMusic player: $20 stocking stuffer
Post by: wellington1869 on Sat, 13 December 2008, 14:32:04
uses microsd cards only. $20 bucks. Simple to use, only 3 buttons. Seems cheap and neat as a stocking stuffer for older folks (simple usage) or e-book audiophiles (marks your position when you turn it off, restarts from there; also easy to organize files and chapters, just rename files and folders numerically (001, 002 etc) and it will play them in that order.

If it had speed up/slow down buttons, it'd be perfect as an e-book player.  I'm still hooked on my samsung u3 because it has the incremental 'speed up/slow down' option (which is great for listening to audiobooks).
