The world of portable music doesn’t begin and end with iPods. There are other choices such as SanDisk’s sansa MP3 players. They don’t have to sync with iTunes and aren’t limited to playing Apple-centric files.  Instead, sansas play music and video files, store photos (so far, just like an iPod) and also handle voice recordings. Plus, the sansa lets you listen to, and record, FM radio broadcasts according to Sansa Reviews. Don’t get me wrong.  iPods are popular for thousands of good reasons.  But this is to remind you that there are other good options out there — and the sansa is one of them.
