at 150 and a new e280... The 280 is just cosmic.

The Sansa ones don't have to be mp3 format...they can be wma too.

I don't use music services... we just put our CDs on the player.

But Rhapsody is one Sansa uses.

I upgraded to the new Windows media player...it is also very nice. The sync interface is much better with the new one.

There is a website:

There are many ideas there. But beware--some of the people are bit "goofy".

Jo--- There are new firmware downloads for your Sansa 250 to fix any bugs you may have. (esp any hiss/noise etc which plagued the earlier models.)
In fact my son downloaded an update to my new one when he helped me set up the pictures function. But I really like it... alot...it is easy to work with
and sounds fantastic --and the pics are great too. (easy for old fogeys like us)... we bought the Sony high end ear buds...they are cosmic too!

We bought the 150 because it takes a regular AAA battery which is replaceable--easy for our summer home which does not have electricity for
recharging.
