Sandisk Sansa Fuze+ MP3 Player Review

I love music.  I really do.  If I am in the car, or cleaning the house, or waiting at the bus stop, I have music playing.  Lately, it has been Sugarland's The Incredible Machine CD.  I listen to it over and over, because I have this weird obsession of learning all the words to all the songs on every CD I buy.  I also realize that not many people don't even buy CD's anymore, but I do.
Recently, I was asked to review the SanDisk Sansa Fuze+ MP3 player, and I was thrilled.  I already have a SanDisk MP3player.  It's the 1GB Sanza Clip.  It doesn't hold very many songs, but it's tiny and clips right on whatever I'm wearing, and I love it.  In fact, I bought Ryan and Kasi each one for Christmas a few years ago, and they liked it so much I bought myself one for my birthday a month later.  But, I am not writing this to talk about my old MP3.  I am writing this to tell you how much I love my new one, the Fuze+.

First let me start by saying that it is pretty.  It's black and shiny, and has a touch pad, which I think is becoming standard on all electronics these days.  It took me a couple of days to get used to that...I can't tell you how many times I rewound or fast forwarded a song by accident.  The Fuze is 4GB, which holds a ton of songs.  Oh, and it also has a slot where you can use a SanDisk slotRadio card, which is a little card that holds 1,000 songs.  The great thing is that the songs are not downloaded onto the MP3, so you can still listen to great music without taking up memory space.  You just pop it into the slot and listen. I was sent the VH1 Classic radio card, and it has some pretty great songs on it.  Songs that I listened to as a teen.  Wait, does that make me classic?

The only thing I wish it came with was a clip.  I like to listen to it while I walk, and I hate having to hold it, because that is when I touch the screen by mistake.  Other than that, I would recommend the SanDisk Sansa Fuze+ for all the music lovers on your Christmas list.

I wrote this review while participating in a blog tour campaign by Mom Central Consulting on behalf of SanDisk and received the SanDisk Sansa Fuze+ and VH1 slotRadio Card to facilitate my review.
