Question about micro SDHC card for fuze

[greenhorn1]

My main question is if I'll notice any difference between a class 4 and a class 6 micro SDHC card for the sansa fuze. I don't care about when I'm loading songs onto it, mainly if I'd notice any difference during playback. Also if anyone can recommend a good place to get an 8 or 16GB card I'd appreciate it. If I can get a 16GB card for $50 i'll probably do that otherwise I'll stick with an 8GB for now.

For playback you will not notice a difference. Even a class 2 is not noticeable if you're just listening to audio. I'm not sure if that is the case with video or not though.

If you're in the US, I bought my 8GB on Amazon.com last fall. Anywhere online is cheaper than in a brick&mortar store, as far as I've seen.

Thanks a lot for the quick response. Yeah I use it for audio only so looks like I don't need to worry about getting a faster card for that purpose.

There is no difference in song playback whichever speed card you use. Video might be a different matter though. A class 6 card will load songs on it around three times as fast as a class 2 card. In the US, Amazon.com is great place to shop for memory cards. Watch out for the shipping cost though. Some vendors that sell through Amazon have high shipping rates, while some have free shipping.
