I don’t think Sanyo has many MP3 players to its stables. The Sanyo DMP-M400SD MP3 Player is a decent MP3 looker where you plug in your own SD cards. Now that’s innovative. I really hate it when I ran out of space in those old 256MB MP3 players.
Supports MP3 and WMA files, DRM’d or not, and SD cards up to 2GB in size. This should be a keeper if you don’t mind its paltry 12 hours run on a single AAA battery, and its boring single colour backlit LCD.
Sanyo thinks that including built-in memory in MP3 players is passé, so that’s why its DMP-M400SD requires you to purchase your own SD cards on which to store your music. While this probably helps keep costs down and does give you the most flexibility and sovereignty over how you use your MP3 player, it does give the DMP-M400SD a sort of “also ran” feel.

I quite like its single colour backlit LCD. I hate the over complex ones. Simple is functional.
