Going to Buy A Sandisk Sansa Fuze (4 GB) Soon

I have mixed feelings about my Fuze. The sound quality using 256 kbps mp3 files is great. The card slot is nice. Navigation by tags only is very annoying though, especially for podcasts. Many podcasts are missing some tags, or have slight variations in tags that cause the files to be sorted in an unexpected manner. The proprietary connector and proprietary cable are annoying, especially since I need to remove the headphone plug from the player to reach the release button on the player’s cable plug. On the plus side, the player has played every mp3 and wma file I have tried playing, including 12 kbps wma and 16 kbps mp3 files. For the price, the player is a great value. I was considering buying a different brand player with a full sized SD card slot, browsing by folders or by tags, and much longer battery life, but the other player was almost double the price of the Fuze. I wish a firmware is developed for the Fuze that allows browsing by folders or by ID3 tags.
