Hi All:

I've had my Fuze for about 4 days. Bought it to replace a Neuros (anybody heard of it?) that I'd been using for about 4 years - its harddrive took a dive and I initially thought I'd simply replace the drive with an even BIGGER one (100 Gb instead of only 30GB!) But then I found that the basic player had also failed - bummer!

So far I like the Fuze! its easy to navigate, drag & drop to load it is a breeze, and it was immediately recoognised and "syncable" by MediaMonkey. Also it sounds good with decent headphones or speakers.

 Things I don't like: Proprietory connector that combines power and data functions, no built-in FM transmitter, no carrying case, and dispite the availablity of a User's Manual, it was not included in the package, nor did the packaging have a pointer to an on-line version, nor was it included in the Rhapsody (Wrap-so-deedle?) CD. No included power adapters.

 Thanks to these Forums, I found and downloaded the manual.

If anyone else would like FM xmitter, and power adapters, here is what I've found:
a) Satechi FM Transmitter and Car charger for Sansa e series. The manufacturer assured me that it will also work with Fuze. Price is $30.

b)Sansa Premium Black Wall Charger for c and e series. I didn't check to determine if its compatible with Fuze, because for $0.71 if it isn't...

Both items available from Amazon. I expect to receive them late this week. I'll let the group know my results with them.

Now my question: Does the Fuze have a "sleep timer" function? I suspect not. Is it something that can be added via a firmware change? Is there a preferred procedure for submitting feature change requests to SanDisk?

Thanks,

alien
