if I buy a sca disk do I need a card? Also is it better than an mp3 player?

It comes with inbuilt 4 gb memory. You can add a micro sd card to increase capacity if you need to. It is an mp3 player.

You dont need an additional card to make it work. It is an MP3 player, similar to the Ipod. It holds a good amount of music on it.

Thanks for your advice. The flip side of the beauty of not being locked into iTunes sounds like I would have to purchase a whole new library though, if I was not able to transfer from iTunes. True? And how would I be able to transfer music off my CD's into a Sansa?

You will need memory card reader with a computer in order save music files into the card like USB thumb drive. You can just drag file like you did on the USB thumb drive.

That is correct, you will need to use an USB adapter to play an SD/microSD card. I personally use an external USB 1T hard drive (USB 2.0) for maximum storage. I know there is up to 64GB SD Cards but I normally use 8 to 16 GB, I haven´t use SD cards on Micca....just 2GB to 8GB USB jumpers and the external 1T storage and it worked great.

Christopher, There was no snide, since I am not the seller, but a buyer! I´m using a 32gb mini sdcard that I loaded music to before placing it into the Sansa device that I purchased online from Amazon. I don´t on a Radio slot card, and I´m sorry for your confusion. Peace!

If I remember right, there is a slot for each, usb and SD card. It should have the capablity to draw from both. The computer graphics for pulling up songs from each may be a little tedious, and you may want to use a computer and just transfer your playlist to one device, to make the job simpler.

A 2G card is pretty cheap, so maybe, but I only paid $80 for my 4G Zen from Amazon. Realize that the files on the card are not integrated into the music menu, they're separate, on a separate menu. Although I have not tried an SD card yet personally, I have read that you can't navigate away from that menu without stopping the music.

Thanks for your response, but I do not understand what MSC or MTP modes are or how to access them. :( Do I open windows media player and then plug in my sansa? Is there a step by step instruction anywhere for people who are totally computer and mp3 illiterate?

The slot cards will play in other san disk mp3 players. I think you can put a micro SD card in the slot player, but the slot player lacks the controls other players have. I bought my slot player cheapfor the collection of music that came with it so that I could play it on my other sandisk player.

This uses a SD card. I believe it can also use a USB thumb drive.Mine is defective, so I haven't used it much. Initially it would generate a motorboat noise over the audio within a few seconds of use, now it plays up to about 15 minutes before the distortion starts.

You could use the SD cards. SDHCs are over 2GB. Up to 32GB I have seen.See my list for some of the HDSC cards:http://www.amazon.com/EEE-PC-8G/lm/R3A0EI71OMMGXF/ref=cm_lmt_dtpa_f_1_rdssss2?pf_rd_p=253738601&pf;_rd_s=listmania-center&pf;_rd_t=201&pf;_rd_i=B000ZLO3D4&pf;_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf;_rd_r=001K8S6M11CAPVVRMJ6D My ZEN has 2GB and I have over 250 high quality tunes on it.You could also use an external Drive.

Sorry...wish I could help...I just put all my music on SD cards...works really well...If this is a new machine return it...If it's an older machine might just need a lens cleaning.

The sd card is not required. I don't use it, but I think it's for extra storage. Kind of like a flash drive, but you don't have to carry an extra item with you. As far as size, I'm not sure. Some units limit the size, kind of like phones.

No. I have never needed a disc. I use an SD card reader. For editing I use photoshop.

No I just hooked it up to the computer and put music on it so no you don't need one sd card is really like for photo imports

I (nor my sister) have found a need for a micro sd card. You have the option to use one for greater memory but without the SD card it still holds a lot of audio. My sister has conversations and lectures stored on it, and has yet reached its memory capacity. I hope this answered your question.
