SanDisk Sansa e250R Rhapsody (2GB) price range: $119.99
- Reviewed by: James Kim
- Reviewed on: 10/10/2006
- Released on: 10/05/2006
The good: The compact SanDisk Sansa e200R Rhapsody can play back music, video, and photo files and is available in capacities of up to 8GB; works well with Rhapsody; includes dual Rhapsody and PlaysForSure mode; includes an FM tuner, a voice recorder, and innovative Rhapsody Channels feature; improved interface; user removable battery; expansion card slot; good battery life.
The bad: The SanDisk Sansa e200R Rhapsody's tactile scrollwheel is both a blessing and a burden; must convert photo and video files using bundled Sansa software; occasional low-level system noise underneath audio; proprietary USB dock connector; no AC adapter in package; no custom EQ; you must be playing a song to add it to the Go list.
The bottom line: Thanks to an improved feature set and GUI, the Rhapsody version of the flagship Sansa player is better than the original.
The Sansa e200 series has made huge waves in 2006. Launched as the world's highest-capacity flash player at 6GB, the feature-filled e200 later soundly beat Apple to the 8GB milestone. Now a special version of SanDisk's flagship player, the Sansa e200R Rhapsody, has appeared, and it looks even better than the original, especially if you're a RealNetworks Rhapsody user.
The iPod has iTunes; the Sansa e200R has Rhapsody
The flash-based e200R operates on custom-tailored firmware (Real calls this Rhapsody DNA) that's designed to make the experience between Sansa hardware and Rhapsody 4 software a seamless one, with benefits such as improved player-jukebox reliability, faster transfer speeds, and innovative extra features. Microsoft's PlaysForSure (PFS) one-size-fits-all (and bureaucratic) approach got in the way of this type of fine-tuning, so Rhapsody and SanDisk have partnered up to try to provide iPod/iTunes-like ease of use. For the most part, the combo delivers in both ease of use and extra features. Ironically, Microsoft's upcoming Zune player will not be PlaysForSure compatible at all, making the Zune ecosystem as closed as the iPod's.
This is where the Sansa/Rhapsody ecosystem has the advantage, since it's not entirely closed. PFS devices are compatible (just not as compatible) with Rhapsody, and the e200R will work with non-Rhapsody services. The firmware includes a PlaysForSure (PFS) mode, though the player's Rhapsody mode doesn't have anything to do with PFS. It will give you up to two times the transfer speed of PFS mode, and neat music discovery features including Rhapsody Channels. I'll mention some differences between the e200 and e200R GUIs later, but of the two models, I'm into the latter because it adds RAX (AAC with Helix DRM) compatibility in addition to PlaysForSure. In other words, the e200R is a dual-DRM player.
At the e200R's heart is the e200 (read our review). Same body design (minus the Rhapsody branding on the backside) that includes a scratch-resistant back, a removable battery, and a Micro SD expansion slot. You'll get the same supertactile scroll wheel, the same portrait 1.8-inch color screen, and the same proprietary dock port. It's not in the same league of thinness next to the new Nano, but it has more features, including video playback, FM radio, and a voice recorder. It may not be the most elegant player in the world (Darth Vader comes to mind) but it sure beats the Nano in terms of features (though the Nano does have gapless playback and PIM functions). The new e200R adds even more features that the Nano can only dream of at this point.
Differences between the e200 and e200R
As mentioned, the ability to play both WMA and RAX AAC files gives the e200R a unique advantage. But there's definitely more than just format support, though at first glance, the firmware looks and behaves the same: same colorful main menu icons that swivel in place, the same light blue background (not into it), and the same scrollwheel-based navigation. Closer inspection reveals much sharper text, menu options and song titles that magnify as you pass over them, and a new main menu icon called Rhapsody Channels. This R version of the e200 is much more polished (though unlike the original, the R won't allow you to add songs to playlists unless you play them first. This spoils the possibility of an impromptu mix. The e200R is also missing the e200's custom EQ. I'd also love an easier way to get back to the Music list. Please fix this stuff, Real.).
Within Rhapsody 4 (which also has a cleaner interface), one of the tabs is Rhapsody Channels, a renaming of the Radio section. You can actually drag and drop a channel (such as Pop) onto the player and populate it with a playlist. On the player itself, the feature is very radio-like--you can skip forward to the next song, but you can't repeat or skip backwards. If you like a song, you can add it to your library; if you hate it, don't do anything, as it can't be played again. If you really hate it, you can actually ban it from your personalized Rhapsody experience using the built-in rating controls. Next time you sync, this channel will automatically update with new content, including your own custom channels (my Ethereal channel was seeded with Ulrich Schnauss and Manual). This is a clever way of randomizing music (à la Urge's superplaylists) but also cutting out the fat. Though it sounds OK on paper, in practice, the Channels feature works well for me, though it won't work with any other player, including the plain e200. In case you're wondering, owners of the e200 cannot upgrade firmware to the R version, though I hope Real allows this in the near future.
Speaking of music discovery, the e200R comes preloaded with 500 channel/playlist tracks in 13 different genres. These tracks, which include The Church's "Under the Milky Way" and Kanye West's "Gold Digger," will be available for two months or 1,000 plays and can be added to your library if you subscribe to Rhapsody To Go ($14.99 per month). Adding songs to your library is as easy as a push and hold of the Select button (this can be customized to Add To Library, Purchase Track, or Rate Song. If you're not into the subscription thing, you can still use Rhapsody to manage your device and purchase tracks. Or if you want to use the e200R with Napster or Urge, you can do so--just make sure to switch modes when using a Windows Media-based store.
If you're familiar with the e200, you'll notice little differences such as the addition of star ratings and embedded artist info within playback mode. One of Rhapsody's strengths as a music source is its deep editorial database, and the e200R now features bits of artist information accessible as a song is playing. Also, on the e200R interface, you will see a tiny green dot that tells you that your subscription tracks are licensed and refreshed. A yellow dot says you have 10 days, and, well, you know what a red dot means. In addition, Rhapsody will actually refresh your 30-day license each time you sync. The account option in settings will tell you exactly how many days you have left to sync before song licenses expire.
One annoying thing I've noticed when you connect the e200R to Rhapsody: you'll get a NoDisk error, which is referring to the empty expansion slot drive. Otherwise, I've not had a single problem with Rhapsody recognizing the e200R. The device also works well in PFS mode as well as within Urge and Yahoo Music Unlimited. In addition to Rhapsody Channels, the e200R firmware allows for superfast transfers, both of unprotected music and subscription tracks. Rhapsody says "two times as fast as PlaysForSure," and while I haven't seen those speeds, getting tracks onto the e200R happens efficiently and pretty invisibly.
Though SanDisk rates the battery at 20 hours, our CNET Labs found the average battery life for the Sansa e200R to be 17 hours of continuous audio playback from a single charge. That's not spectacular, but it's decent. Though the e200R packaging is a different color, is branded with Rhapsody (and Best Buy), and includes the presence of Lil' Monsta, the contents are the same as the e200: a proprietary USB cable (boo), typical earbuds, a protective case, a lanyard, and a quick start guide. The installation CD includes the Best Buy-skinned version of Rhapsody.
At the same price for a refined interface, cool new features, and a special Rhapsody relationship, the Sansa Rhapsody player looks like a better option than the e200, whether or not you join Rhapsody To Go. Certainly try the tactile scrollwheel--some like its grainy control, while others view the wheel as cheesy and rattly--before you invest, and understand that photo and video files need to be converted using the bundled media conversion software. Also be aware, though the SanDisk sounds decent, of the slight system noise that is audible at the lowest volumes.

Best piece of equipment I've ever purchased!
by julius.caesar.09 on November 20, 2006
Pros: Beautiful graphics. Sound quality is excellant. The radio is pretty good also.
Cons: Only a usb charger...which is upsetting. preloaded music, pics, and video waste a lot of memory if you dont take them off.

This player is excellant. I like most that the battery can be replaced when I want it replaced and for only 20 dollars, not the outrageous fees Apple charges; and I can do it by myself.
The screen is excellant. Perfect graphics are displayed on the very colorful screen. The radio is alright, some stations are like i'm listening directly to a cd, because the one station is only a mile away from me.
The preloaded items are awful. I freed up about 800 mb by removing the preloaded Rhapsody channels. It was pathetic. The music was junk also.
Overall its a great buy for your money. I would definitly recommend it to anyone wanting to find a great mp3 player/video/picture viewer.6 out of 6 users found this user opinion helpful.

Best MP3 Player for Rhapsody
by RunSilent23 on December 29, 2006
Pros: Rhapsody Channels and Rhapsody to Go Support
Cons: Scroll wheel; 2GB capacity

Summary: The Sansa e250R is how Rhapsody to Go should be experienced. Not only does it download music faster than other Plays for Sure devices (we own a regular Sansa e250 and a Zen V Plus also) , content is automatically downloaded to the player each time I connect to my laptop via Rhapsody Channels. These are helpful for finding new artists and songs that you wouldn't otherwise think of when looking for new music. Songs on the Channels are not added to your library but are available for listening on the player. If you like the song, you can add it to your library with a couple of clicks on the Sansa.
Album art, ratings, and the witty Rhapsody artist notes are available with a couple of clicks.
While the text is sharper and the interface is slicker than the original Sansa e250, the scroll wheel is the same and that's not good. Ipod owners will rightfully sneer at you when they pick up the Sansa. The scroll wheel is clunky and rough compared to the Nano. But when you compare Rhapsody to Go and Rhapsody Channels to Itunes, my bet is you will be alot happier. My daughter loves her Ipod but she is very jealous of how much music I get everytime I connect to Rhapsody.
One caveat - 2GB can get filled up very quickly with Channels. If you like a lot of music in your library, splurge for the 4GB or 8GB models.4 out of 4 users found this user opinion helpful.

Excellent after tweaking settings
by atir59 on January 27, 2007

Summary: I bought my daughter and myself each one for Christmas. I was ready to return both to Best buy 2 days later, but after 4 episodes totalling 6 hours on the phone to Rhapsody Customer support -- in which FINALLY I was transferred to "level 2 support" (someone who said something other than "no problem, m'am, no problem, we will help you", and then accomplish nothing) a very helpful rep explained why the 2G memory was full on each when there was less than 200 songs on each device. Key point: reformat the whole device and make sure that while you are in "Rhapsody" mode, save all songs in 128 WMA files, otherwise the drive will be full with very few songs. I am very happy with the Rhapsody service, although if you signed up for the "free" 2 or 3 month offer, check your credit card -- I have been billed. Also, while you can play NetAudio books on the devices, if you switch to any music, you have to start over on the book. So don't plan on using the device for EBooks (in contrast to what Sandisk customer service told me prior to purchase). Manual is WEAK. Still can't figure out how to use the Auto-off feature, and haven't had the time to wait for customer service again. Yes, you can pre-set FM stations, but haven't been able to access the presets due to the weak manual.
Overall I would purchase again. I picked up a 2gig micro SD card on Buy.com for less than 20 bucks for later expansion -- had purchased the player for 99 bucks on Black Friday, so for 120 I can get 4 gigs.
On other thing: makes sense, if your memory is getting full you can't record much more than 1/2 hour on the FM recorder. If you want to record the whole "Prairie Home Companion", you'll need to empty out some songs.3 out of 3 users found this user opinion helpful.

Killer product, overall great features!
by a510m on December 5, 2006
Pros: Well, sync with Rhapsody 4.0 is at the top of the list... Great interface, color, size, battery life, features, NICE work SanDisk!
Cons: Small buttons can be hard to hit, lack of EQ, scroll wheel awkward at times

Summary: For the "non-ipod" conformers of the world, there has been little to no options for taking services like Rhapsody with you... until now. FINALLY there is a viable option, and it rocks! If you have diverse music tastes, you can go through a few hundred tracks in no time flat... buying these on itunes = $$$, whereas you pay the flat fee at Rhapsody and end up money ahead. Now your entire collection can go with you... 8 gigs is a LOT of music.. probably a couple of thousand songs depending on your sampling rate. Unit is small, GREAT size for carrying around... a lot more convenient than the ipod, comparable to the Nano. Color screen, ok for pictures, but who really wants to view pictures seriously on anything that small... FM tuner is a great bonus feature, long overdue on other players. Battery life, awesome.. syncing up and transferring data to the unit worked flawlessly after initial setup, rock solid performance. Wish there was more EQ control, ability to output higher volume level at times, larger buttons (for large fingers), and a scroll wheel that worked a little more fluidly. All in all, minor tweaks. One of the best off the shelf release hardware products I've ever owned, and I have been an early adopter of electronics for years. Great buy!

Good looking player, bad software
by TechyDRGuy on November 25, 2007
Pros: Great looks, good size, nice interface, good sound quality

Summary: I got the e250R for only $70 at Best Buy thanks to post-Thanksgiving specials. This player looks really good. It's a bit heavy compared to some other players, but I like it. Compared to my iPod nano it feels very sturdy. I listened to some of the pre-loaded music and the player sounded good. The interface is easy to understand. A problem with the buttons is that they're too close to the scroll wheel so it's hard to press them sometimes.
Now for the really bad part. The software that comes with this player didn't work for me. Everything was installed correctly, but the Best Buy store never started up. And this is what you have to use to manage your player, so you can see how this can be a problem. You could always use WMP or Windows Explorer, but I always like using the software supplied with the MP3 player. The Sansa Media Converter did start up, but converting videos is hell. I got this player because I wanted an inexpensive player for video and another one for my music collection (which is on my nano). Converting a video is actually easy, it's the results which gave me trouble. For some reason my player synced the videos as photos and a "Use the media converter to use this file" message kept on appearing.
This is a great player, if the software works for you, you'll probably love it. But I'm going to return this to the store and I'm upset that the software didn't work better.2 out of 2 users found this user opinion helpful.

60% of capacity unusable
by craigim on February 9, 2007
Pros: Good sound, very portable

Summary: In the three weeks I owned one of these, it locked up on me three different times. The first two times, the scroll wheel lit up and all of the buttons stopped responding. The only way to reset it was to let the battery die and then recharge it (the batteries were freshly charged beforehand both times). The third time, while I was transferring music, the screen went snowy and the player again stopped responding. I don't know if the battery dying trick worked because it was in that state when I returned it for a refund.
While I am willing to accept that I got unlucky with a lemon that slipped through the quality control cracks, I would have returned it anyways. The specs on the e250R say it can hold 2Gb or roughly 500 songs. The fine print says that "some" of that capacity is unavailable due to the operating system. "Some" in this case is 1.2Gb, or 60% of the capacity. This is the first flash mp3 player I've owned, so maybe this is standard, but "some", in my opinion, is at least less than half. I tried manually deleting content, formatting, and using the bundled software, but I could never get more than 800Mb capacity, considerably less than the advertised 2000Mb.
When it did work, the sound was good and the high volume option was very nice for playing through my car's tape adapter on the long road trip that I purchased it for (unfortunately, I was stuck listening to the same 6 albums over and over again because that's all the room I had).2 out of 3 users found this user opinion helpful.

Near-perfect Nano killer...

Summary: I've had this player for a while and found it very versatile. First, the 2GB capacity is just about right for the times I spend out on the road. Plus it has a voice recorder, FM radio, is compatible with almost every music service (not just Rhapsody), and is a very durable player.
I also like the fact it has a user replaceable battery, so it will last me a fairly long time.1 out of 1 users found this user opinion helpful.

Parents Beware
by j-howdy on December 31, 2006
Pros: Operationally Sound & Body Style Sleek & Attractive
Cons: "Explicit" Pre-loads & Small Buttons around Thumbwheel

Summary: I was shocked to find out that several of the free pre-loaded songs for my Rhapsody 250 R were "explicit." These were not even the "edited" radio versions of Jay-Z (several cuts), Nas ("Money Over B_S_"), Kelis ("Milkshake"), or Project Pat ("I Keep That"). You can check out the lyrics on-line, if you're interested. On c.d., I believe these albums come with Parent Advisory Labels, but these songs are easily activated on a computer (with or without internet access as far as I can see). I was able to delete these pre-loads (my preference). Also, the "Parent Controls" come "Inactive" and must be activated if you are going to limit internet downloads.
As far as the technical side of the product, I have been using it for just 3 days, but I am very pleased with it's capabilities. The screen graphics are clear and visible. The size is great. I haven't had any trouble with operating it. The only thing that I know I would change is the size of the buttons that surround the thumbwheel; they're small and little difficult to press. Overall, it's a great device.1 out of 1 users found this user opinion helpful.

Summary: Absolutely the best music player available. I'm a huge audiophile and didn't want to waste my hard earned $$ on a piece of junk music player that may be either easily broken or obsolete in a year. For those of you that are in the market for a Great, Compact, easy to use media player...THIS IS IT! I took about three months of researching and reading review after review before I purchased this unit. There are so many features on this thing..ie: Photo viewer (with slideshow option),MP3 player, video player, FM Radio (you can record off the radio too!),voice recorder, microSD card slot, and a 20 HOUR rechargable lithium ion battery...That you can replace YOURSELF!! Micrsoft Media Player easily transfers your music & video files, should you not want to use the Rhapsody software included. AND...the Sansa converting software that comes with the unit is so easy to use. Now seriously folks...If you guys and gals are about to go out and throw down your hard earned dollars for a music player...I'm telling you...everything else is substandard. I truly cannot think of anything wrong with this thing..the power, the sound, the construction, and ease of use..I'm telling you. I highly, highly recommend the Sandisk Sansa. Now go out and treat yourself...you deserve it! May God Be with you James Kim...
