SanDisk Sansa Shaker 1 GB MP3 Player (Pink) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I purchased the 512MB version, but the only difference is that they've included a 1 GB SD card instead of 512MB. Overall, this is a great MP3 player for kids. If you are looking for an adult-oriented MP3 player, this is not for you.
We've had ours for several months and it still works perfectly. Very sturdy. The "rings" which allow you to control volume and track selection are perfect for young kids, since you simply twist the top or bottom of the device. The only button to press on the unit is the on/off switch. The ability to shuffle tracks by shaking the device (with a corresponding goofy sound effect) certainly appeals to kids.
One of the main selling points for me was the built-in speaker, so the kids are not reliant on wearing headphones. I worry about hearing damage to young ears while using headphones, and the speaker is a FANTASTIC option. On the down side, I was expecting / hoping that the unit would be a little larger (it has the size, shape and appearance of an average salt shaker). However it can be attached to a lanyard to make it more difficult to lose. That said, it's bigger than many MP3 players. Speaking of MP3 plaers, I wish the device was compatible with WMA format; but this is just a personal preference and not a serious criticism. My kids love it.
