My Favorite Song

kannatalli gowry sukumaari kaustubha mani haari

himavati himvantuni putri haindavadala netri

Sansa SanDisk C250

Recently i have bought Sansa SanDisk C250 mp3 player and started uploading all sorts of mp3 . Mostly classical, light-classical, new and old movie songs. I was playing around with it, figuring out all of its ins and outs. It can store upto 2 gig data/audio/video. I was impressed with the quality such a small piece of technology could provide. Though i have experienced lil issue with the recorder(REC) button, i was happy to find a solution.

REC button was easy to click with out being noticed(which is used to put the player in record mode, and located on the left side besides hold buttn). The screen for recording will not go off.

For this, we need to click the menu/power button once. Then we can browse through the different features like music, photo, voice, settings using >||(top) button.
Phew thanks to http://www.edgartownlibrary.org/pdf/Sansa_C250_Manual.pdf, which helped me getting to the solution.
Overall nice player, i like it so far.
