SanDisk claims the Fuze delivers 24 hours' continuous play from a full battery charge. The Fuze also comes with a handy on-the-go playlist feature - adding a track simply requires you to hold down the centre button while it's playing. The player can be set to either MTP, MSC or Auto-Detect so you can either sync up via a desktop media player drag and drop if you are using Windows or just drag and drop if you are a Mac or Linux aficionado.
