Walt, while I won’t defend Twitter’s buggy “delete my account” link, I can testify that repeated clickings got it to work few me last fall when I deleted my first account

Of course, I had a change of heart a few months later and created a new account.

Jennifer–Ah, but that’s just it. It’s true Hotel California software: You can check out any time you want, but you can never really leave.

I tried “Delete my account.” More than once. It winds up either with an error message or simply not doing anything. So I’ve given up and forgotten my password and username.

By the way, the Sansa is working out great. I didn’t use it much at Midwinter, but when I did, I could listen into the music (not just listen to it). And at home, with the higher-end headphones: Bliss, hearing more of the music than I normally would.

About the only negative: As far as I can tell, Shuffle Mode doesn’t do a random mix, it does one of two or three mixes, period. Not a huge deal.

Incidentally, you can leave Twitter, if you want to. If you go into your account settings, there is a link (albeit an unobtrusive one) at the bottom of the page that says ‘Delete my account’. http://twitter.com/account/settings

I have had a Sandisk for 3 years now, and its perfect – so lightweight, so easy to use. I have never had any compatibility problems with any type of music format I want to play with it (no need to covert from one music format to another) , and and I can plug into any speakers or headphones I happen to around at the time. Does just what I need it to, at a dirt cheap price.

And this things has been through everything- dropped, ran over, dropped into water – and still keeps running. Unlike many of my friends with other, more expensive devices that keep having to replace them if they seem to sneeze on them….*grin*

I’ve had a Sansa 4GB player for a couple of years and it’s perfect for when I need it. I use it mostly when I’m traveling by air–when I’m at home I have my stereo and computer. It’s been very reliable though and I’m glad to see you found a reasonable option for what you needed.

Happy mp3s
