There ’s a new kid on the MP3 block , and just like the Zune , it ’s a player gambol Wi - Fi . The $ 250 4 GB Sandisk Sansa Connect not only allow you to partake your fervid musical preferences with dirty strangers on the tube , it also enable you to download unlimited Yahoo ! medicine for $ 15 without the corduroy .
So what did the reviewers conceive ? For this calendar week ’s Frankenreview , we stumble up a TON of sources ( ok … 10 ) and grabbed their best quip . gain the jump to read what Wired , Gadgetaholic , ComputerWorld , LAPTOP , I4U , Yahoo ! Tech , Crunchgear , of late to the Party and PCMag had to say about this quasi - wireless MP3 player .
( Only five of our ten use numerical mark , we were n’t just being lazy … this time . )

If the Zune were n’t already DOA , Sansa ’s Connect would altogether stomp its ugly brown mug .
CNET
… tune sound warm , clean , and comprehend across all genres … Still , I could ’ve done with a mo more kick on the down end .
Gadgetaholic
… the Sansa Connect can display photos . However , this one kicks it up a pass ( Emeril must be proud ) by allowing the exploiter to pasture the photos from their Flickr account . This works flawlessly .
Computerworld
… the first pregnant rethinking of portable media actor — and how we get digital spiritualist — since Apple Inc. ’s initiation of the iPod and the iTunes online medium store several years ago .
LAPTOP
I4U
The Connect can care wireless networks that practice pre - shared keys for security department . What the Sansa Connect ca n’t handle is wireless meshwork that do n’t circularise the SSID .
Yahoo ! Tech
Do n’t think about this like an iPod . It ’s possible , but not well-situated , to transfer your existing music on your microcomputer to the Sansa . You need to use Yahoo ! Jukebox and colligate the Sansa to your microcomputer to move music you already own .
Crunchgear
[ Yahoo ! Music ] tracks are propose only through recommendations and popular music . This encourages you to value your favorite tracks … but I can see it as being a bummer if you have a birdsong in your head and ca n’t get to it .
recently to the Party
Album art is shown in just about every menu , whether it is for local mental object , or for streaming radio place , or for Yahoo Music Unlimited content under the “ Get More Music ” menu
PCMag
… follow with an AC battery charger / adapter ( our battery rundown test give 6 hours and 15 minute of continuous music playback and WiFi usage , so you ’ll be using this a lot ) …
After checking out all the reviews , the Connect look fantastic . But my two problems with the experience are huge in my Good Book :
1 . No iTunes or Mac Support
2 . Yahoo ’s music Robert William Service can not be searched by song
