Customer reviews
Awesome! 
I’m really glad that I bought it! The only problem I have with it is that it can’t get songs from cd onto it, but overall it’s a great little MP3 player. It’s very easy to work. And the built in speaker is very handy and can get rather loud.The two head phone jacks is handy also, although I’ve never had to use them. It is also very easy to get songs onto it.
Hope I was helpful!
The 512 Mb Shaker Rocks, the 1Gb version is a waste of money.
Pros:
We bought the shaker for our 1 year old. She loves it. Almost everything about the unit is awesome. The aesthetics are cool, the volume is good, the controls are simple.
Cons:
The battery/SD cover seems to be a loose fit and could potentially come off too easily. While it has not been a problem for us, our little girl has not taken it off yet, I predict that when she figures that out, it’ll be a problem.
IMPORTANT:
If you want to use the random feature, don’t bother getting the 1GB version but save your money and buy the 512 Mb version. You won’t be able to fill it up AND preserve the random feature. The SD card MUST be formatted as FAT (not FAT32) and it is then limited to around 120 files/songs in the root directory. If you take steps to getting more than 120 songs on there, such as format as FAT32, or creating folders to put additional songs in, then the unit will still operate, but the random feature will stop working and it will instead just go to the next song. I spent a long time discussing this with SanDisk technical support until they admitted this limitation in the product. Don’t get me wrong, SanDisk and the Shaker ROCK, but until they solve this bug/limitation, save yor cash and get the cheaper one.
Great Deal
Bought this for my 6yo and she loves it. We loved it so much that I also bought one for my niece. It’s very easy to use and easy to download songs to. My 8 yo son is now jealous that his MP3 player is not as cool as his sisters! Great product for a low price.
Great unit/poor customer service
I bought this product for my preschooler who loves to listen to music, and kept swiping my very expensive Iphone to listen to his music…all the time. The Shaker is great, works well, and the speaker is loud enough for him to set it on the table next to him while he dances!
I had real difficulty downloading music off the internet. The directions ask you to use Windows Media Player, which converted all the MP3 files that I purchased to WMA files that then would not synchronize onto the Shaker. I called and they were rude and insisted that the problem was the music, and I have a hard time believing that no one else has incurred this problem with Windows Media Player. The good news is I was able to download the files onto itunes, which kept them as MP3 files and then drag them over to the Shaker via the file explorer menu. This I found out from the internet site I downloaded music from…not SanDisk. This took almost four hours, and three phone calls to get to the bottom of. That being said, it is still a great unit but good to know the loops you’ll have to jump through if you want to download music for it. It would have been nice if the customer service team knew of the short comings of their product. I was lead through the directions by two different customer service reps in a condescending manner that I had previously completed on my own several times before calling, and I explained this to them before and during their interaction with me.
Easy to use worth the money
I bought one recently to use while I am traveling. The sound quality is excellent. It’s plug and play, would recommend this little guy for anyone looking for an entry level mp3.
