Not new to MP3 files but I also want to buy a Sandisk Sansa player but want to find a safe site and have no problem paying for the file as long as it doesn't crash my new player. Weren't things much simpler with the old cassette players? Iv'e heard people that will spend a couple of hundred $$$ for a player only to have it crash and burn a few months down the road. I had 2 Sandisk Sansa Express model MP3 players which I really liked and for some unknown reason the both simply broke within 48 hours. Now i'm afraid to buy another one but i'm going to chance it because I like the Sandisk player.
