I bought a Sansa mp3 player and I downloaded Rhapsody. You get the first 30 days free on a trial and after that the price varies on how many players/phones you want to download music to. Believe me it is well worth it. I have 2 smartphones and 1mp3 player and it was only 16.99 and that was after I downloaded so much music on my free 30 days trial that I had to go buy more memory. Rhapsody is easy to use, understand and download.I've even found music my 78 year old Mother has been looking for and couldn't

I forgot to mention that Rhapsody works and works well with Windows 7. You will definitely be pleased! Like I said the first 30 days are free, it just doesn't get much better or easier.

WIndows 7 should not be a problem

Anybody asking this question get the same answer from me: For what it is, the Sansa Clip is the best piece of consumer electronics I've ever owned. FM tuner and voice recorder, and the the new ones have a micro SD slot.

Anyway, several points: 1) I don't think the Clip or Fuze or any such portable will record OFF its own radio, and 2) The Fuze should sync with your Media Player, irrespective of the OS. Even so, there should not be a problem with Windows 7.

Try updating the firmware: http://kb.sandisk.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/278

Make sure your Windows Media Player is version 10 or later ... that really could be the problem.
