So a dumb idea for anyone who wants an mp3 player is to buy a Sansa. I got the Sansa View and i run to functionality problems all the time. The damn thing freezes, doesnt work with computers very well, and all around isnt good enough to waste the money. The only positive thing about it is that the battery is an absolute beast and generally last longer then it says it will. But i spent the money on it last year, and i am now using when i run and bike. Does anyone know anyway i can fix these problems?

Simple. Dont buy MP3 players from a brand that makes Flash Drives. My sansa has been reduced to just that, so I went with a Creative Zen vPlus, and I was forced to upgrade when it gave up within a 6 month period of working decently. Im not sure if you can upgrade the software on models later than mine, but I would suggest looking into it.

Im not trying to start a "My so and so is better than yours" but, I went through 2 sansas real fast, and my Zen has lasted for 2 good years now.
