I too have a fondness for the e200 series players. The v2 variant of these machines, the last run, were actually Fuzes internally. The scroll wheel was improved from the “little ridges” version to the smoother variant.
I would have integrated the Fuze type “wobble wheel” into the e200 platform, as the subassembly used is easily replaceable, just as the mechanical scroll wheel of the e200 is.
Having a player as rugged and simple as the e200 speaks volumes for SanDisk , it laid the groundwork for the ultimate success of the Fuze, as the earlier cousin had built a loyal following. It’s ironic that the new processor and design of the Fuze, first tested in e200 trim, took off like it did, effectively closing the book on the earlier machine.
Quite simply, there isn’t a player that even comes close to the Sansa in terms of capability and overall cost, they’re wonderful machines. My daughters have literally run their Sansa Clips through the wringer repeatedly, and the washing machine too.
