I'm considering picking up one of the newer Sansa mp3 players (either c150 or e250), but want to know if they are recognized like a flash drive or if you need to use their software to transfer music/files. Anyone know?

Sansa is like any other flash drive players.

Please elaborate. The iPod Nano is a flash player, but requires iTunes. If the Sansa is pluged into a USB port, will it be recognized as a drive or as a media device that requires software?

iPod players doesn't require iTunes (unless it does, which would be extremely retarded). But whatever.

The Sansa is a flash drive player, it has expansion capability (microSD). It won't need software for you to download music onto it.

It does (or other software to circumvent it)Thanks. That's what I wanted to know.

Sandisk mp3 players suck. My friend has one. I swear they are one of the most unintuitive menu designs ever.

Sandisk players rate very high. Unfortunately I don't have first-hand experience with one. One thing most ppl don't know, in terms of sales, they are 2nd behind Apple. A very distant 2nd, but still. Most of the small players have annoying menus - because they have very minimal buttons.

I recently got a iaudio U2 and am quite happy with it. It's a bit expensive though.
A good site for mp3 player reviews is dapreview.com

I only saw one Scandisk player @ Best Buy which you couldn't re-charge it. I had Samsung before but the new bike owner took it with the bike... now I have Philips 6gb and got it under $200 from Best Buy
