The leader in flash memory, ScanDisk delivers more flash memory products than anyone else in more form factors. They carry 315 issued U.S. patents along with 160 foreign patents, so it is very clear to see that ScanDisk is THE inventor of flash data storage. ScanDisk was founded in 1988 by Dr. Eli Harari, who was an internationally recognized authority on non-volatile memory technology. They serve both consumers and original equipment manufacturer, while licensing its technology to a number of other industry-leading companies.

Flash memory is a rapidly growing field, due to the direct result of "consumer demand" for always something smaller, more feature packed, more portable, and always wanting a digital device. Because of this reputation, available is a great, diverse line of MP3 players to suit every consumer with MP3 desires. SanDisk is a name to consider when shopping for your digital audio player as it provides a line of digital audio players with video capabilities, FM tuners, expandable memory, and voice recording. With five different lines of digital audio players to choose from it is probable to find something that fits a specific taste.

The SanDisk "SansaTM" e200 series of MP3 players give the consumer the capability of music, photo, and video clip playback - all in one device. With a 1.8" TFT color screen and advanced navigation, along with a very easy to use interface, this line comes with three choices of disk space - 2GB, 4GB, 6GB, and 8GB, with a strong battery life at about 20 hours when fully charged. It has a durable metal backing to avoid excessive scratching, which is an advantage over others. Supporting the Microsoft PlaysForSure subscription music, a media converter can be purchased to support most image formats for photos and small personal videos.

SanDisk's SansaTM m200 series provides high-quality digital music playback as a replacement to the original Digital Audio Player line, as SanDisk is one of the leaders in the flash drive arena. This series doesn't offer anything flashy (no photo or video), but does everything you need if you are looking for pure digital audio. The series comes in the 512MB (blue), 1GB (silver), or 2GB (black) sizes with optional data storage capabilities. It also can be used as an external storage device for data and a PC transfer case.

The SanDisk SansaTM c100 series is made for the active type, by providing flash memory of 1 or 2GB in a lightweight and durable device that is available in brilliant color. You can listen to music downloaded from the PC, listen to FM radio, record FM radio, or make voice recordings while jogging or studying. The SanDisk Sansa c100 series can also display photo thumbnails, but has no video playback capability. If a person is new to the digital audio game, not quite knowing how much space they need, the SanDisk SansaTM e100 series of expandable memory MP3 players is a great option. Coming with a built-in 512MB or 1GB of memory, a person can expand the space by up to 2GB with a SD slot memory card. This player also comes with a built-in FM tuner.
