I bought this for my daughter for Christmas and regret it!!!! I have spent countless hours trying to get songs on this shaker - it only accepts mp3 files so if you want to import songs from i-tunes, just forget it! I have also spent countless hours on the phone with customer service - jumping through hoops to try to get it replaced. from Amazon.com Bought this item for my 5 year old, since both of his older brothers had an MP3 player and an ipod. Thought that the shaker/shuffle part would be fun for him, and liked that he could listen to it without headphones. I bought this from a local toy store at Christmas time. from Amazon.com We purchased the SanDisk Sansa Shaker 512 MB MP3 player for my Son and he has used it for about six months with no problems at all. It is easy to load songs on to it and it works really well. from Amazon.com The Sansa Shaker is exactly what I expected. It's an easy-to-use MP3 player that's main feature was the built-in speaker. from Amazon.com Bought the Sansa Shaker for my 6 year old daughter. She loves it! from Amazon.com It also has a carabiner clip to hook the player to a belt loop or backpack. NICE!!! The player also features 2 headphones jacks, just in case you have 2 kids who want to share and listen to the same track (which rarely happens...so, at this price, I recommend buying two!) :o) I figured for the price of this one (I paid $20), my daughter could lose or break a few and we'd still come out ahead as compared to buying an ipod shuffle and speaker/dock to accomplish the same features the Shaker provides. It took some tweaking (it's not like my ipod) to get my music to MP3 format. from Amazon.com As an audiobook fanatic, the ability to swap cards in and out is a dream. While not having a screen that allows you to select a particular song (or book) by name, I load files on the card in folders in the order I want to hear them, so it's only takes a few twists for me to reach the file I want. The shaker remembers the last file played whenever you turn it off, so it easy to pick up where you left off. Not at the exact word, as it will start at the beginning of the last file played, but it's no different than reading a book where you are forced to go back a few pages to reorient yourself. from Amazon.com However I personally have not had a problem with it so far. I bought it for my 7yr old daughters birthday and she absolutely loves it. I thought there was a problem with the cap that protects the memory card and battery because it kept falling off as the reviews said, however once I was shown how to operate the Sansa Shaker properly it is not a problem any longer, when changing the songs if you make sure that they only turn the directional band and not grab the entire bottom it won't fall off; you also have to make sure that the cap clicks when putting back on that is the lock position. As far as the battery life I find that the rechargeable batteries hold longer even when she is listening to the music through the speaker. from Amazon.com My 3-year-old son had a Fisher Price FP3 player that he loved. After about 8 months, it just stopped working. I saw the Sansa shaker for a much lower price and if he wants to play it out loud for eveyone to hear, he just unplugs his headphones - no buying speakers to go along with it! We've had it for about 5 weeks now and so far, it's been great - although the whole "shaker" part of it does not seem to work. from Amazon.com -- You have to hold the play button while you shake it to change songs. Sometimes this doesnt work out and just puts the music on pause. Dont let this scare you away from SanDisk players however, I have a Sansa Clip that I love (better than my Ipod)! from Amazon.com
