Customer Review: Best Christmas Present ever
Summary: 5 Stars
My son received this for Christmas 2 years ago and has used it almost every single night since then. He turns it on in bed and falls asleep listening to it. Yes, there is an issue with music format however, this can be resolved - you can purchase a program online to convert the music. We've bought several songs for him on itunes and then loaded on here. Several of our friends have purchased the same mp3 player now because their little ones want one after playing with his. I am on here to purchase another for our other child! Customer Review: Great MP3 player!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a great MP3 player. It was actually very frustrating for my mom and sister to get the songs onto it, but that was because we first had to convert them to MP3 files.
Save frustration and follow these steps:
1. Insert a CD or burn songs onto a CD from Itunes, etc. You must do this with Windows Media Player, so you have to have Windows XP, but my family has a Windows Vista and it works on that too.
2. Once the songs are loaded on, right-click Rip and choose Format. Click on that and then click MP3. Now the songs are going to the Library and being converted into MP3 files.
3. Now, plug in the Sansa Shaker with the cord included. Plug it in in the Shaker first, then your computer. With Windows Media Player, something should come up and say "Drag files here to make a playlist to put on 'Sandisk Shaker'".
4. Go to the library and drag your songs over to that panel. After they're all on, click "Start Sync" which is below the text. It should sync quickly and after it says "You can now disconnect the 'Sandisk Shaker'".
5. Disconnect the Shaker and the songs should be on there!
If this doesn't work, make sure you converted the songs to the library and changed them to MP3 files, shown how to do in Step 2.
So, this is a good shaker. It was an awesome birthday present! (My parents bought it for about 30 bucks at Toys R Us). And, it has a lot of room; there's still about 4/5 room left and I've put on a lot of songs! The out-loud speaker and two headphones were nice. Unfortunately, the headphones that came in the package were too big for my ears, but I had my sister's old iPod earphones and a pair of earphones that were just lying around.
I recommend this for ages 8-11 (I'm ten, but I don't think it's childish), my older sister got her iPod at twelve so I think at that age they should have that.
A great player overall, I strongly recommend it!
Customer Review: fun gift for kids but eats batteries
Summary: 4 Stars
With its external speaker my five year old cant get enough of this mp3 player; so much so that i have to replace the battery every day or two. Thank God it requires just 1 AAA battery.Customer Review: Only MP3???
Summary: 2 Stars
This is a terrific product, with great design, but it only plays MP3 files! What's up with that? Most of our favorite songs are MPEG 4. We'd love it to play our contemporary music.Customer Review: Don't waist your money or time

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. They have horrible customer service!!! For the number of hours I have spent I would have been much better off buying an ipod instead. If I could charge an hourly rate for all the time I spent working on this it would be well into the hundreds - enough for the top of the line ipod!
Don't waist your time or money!
