Changing songs on the player is a snap - or rather, a shake. Young music lovers can impress their friends by shaking the device to jump to another song, or use a simple controller band for moving forward and back through their song library. A second band manipulates volume. "Sansa Shaker brings a fresh approach to sharing and enjoying digital music, at a price that's affordable for everyone in the family," said Keith Washo, SanDisk retail product marketing manager. "This is part of SanDisk's continuing strategy of introducing MP3 players for every lifestyle, with a wide range of features and price points."
