Instead you are free to download this software (100MB+) from This software allows you to select clips and then convert them at the press off a button into a format acceptable to the Sansa Fuze. Unfortunately SanDisk has made the decision not to include this software as part of the package. Playlists can be created by the unit or imported using Windows Media Player.Īdding video clips and photos to the Sansa Fuze does, however, require a specific Sansa Media Converter utility. There is support for MP3, WMA, secure WMA, Ogg Vorbis and Audible formats with transfer being implemented by standard Windows protocols (copy & paste / drag & drop) without the need for any additional software. Music can be added to the Sansa Fuze direct from a computer using the supplied proprietary USB cable. Switching on the Sansa Fuze brings up a carousel type menu that allows you to rotate through the categories of Music, Video, FM Radio, Photos, Voice and Settings. Located on the opposite side is a memory card slot for inserting a Micro SD card, either of the standard or HC (High Capacity) variety, for increasing storage capacity. Slightly to the right of this wheel is a Home button while a slider switch for power on/off is on the right side. In the centre of the wheel is a rubber selection button with options to play/stop, move forwards, move backwards and down/sub menu positioned at the four cardinal points. Situated beneath the screen is a rubber control wheel that actually rotates rather than offering a touch sensitive approach. Taking over the top half of the unit’s front is a 1.9-inch colour screen giving a bright clear display. This review is based on the 4GB version of the product. Positioned between the excellent Sansa Clip and Sansa View units, the Sansa Fuze is available with 2, 4 and 8GB storage capacities in a choice of blue, red, pink, black or silver. Measuring 50 x 7 x 78mm, the Sansa Fuze, with its ability to play MP3 and WMA audio tracks plus video clips, is the company’s obvious challenger to the market leading iPod nano device.
