Compact Player Delivers All the Hits You Love
The slotRadio player's unique design lets you enjoy the convenience of digital music technology without the hassle of downloads or the hidden costs of subscription music services. Simply find the slotRadio card that's right for you, insert it in your player, and start listening. The player comes bundled with a slotRadio Mix card that features seven playlists and 1,000 songs in various genres including country, Contemporary, R&B/Hip-Hop, Alternative, Rock, and Workout/Chillout.

This sleek, die-cast aluminum player features a 1.5-inch OLED screen for viewing artist and song information. It also offers easy access to FM radio and up to 13 hours of battery life from a single charge**. The player is designed with an integrated belt clip so it can latch on to almost anything: a belt, pocket, backpack, or bag. And at a mere 2 x 2 inches (H x W), the player is so small and lightweight that you'll barely notice it's there.

microSDHC Memory Card Slot for Easy Expansion
Not only do slotRadio music players offer great sound, but they're also able to handle the full extent of your music collection. Featuring a microSD/microSDHC memory card slot, the player poses no space limitations. You can simply interchange your slotRadio card with a microSD/microSDHC card (now offered with up to 32GB*** capacity) and keep playing your music without having to make room for it.

Lovers of music mixes will appreciate how simple it is to share a personal mix with friends. There's no need to borrow a device or send music files online--you simply drag and drop your MP3 or WMA music files onto a microSD/microSDHC card. Share the card with friends, so they can listen to your music mix instantly, without a computer--they just need to insert the card into a slotRadio, Sansa Fuze, or Sansa Clip+ player and enjoy.

No Downloads or Subscriptions Necessary
Why bother with monthly subscription fees or time-consuming downloads when you can get your music instantly? To start listening, all you need to do is insert a slotRadio card, a slotMusic card, or a microSD/microSDHC card containing MP3 or WMA files. No PC or Internet connectivity is required.

And there are no complicated menus to navigate. Buttons on the top of the player allow you to move from one channel to the next. Because songs on slotRadio cards are played in sequence and cannot be rewound or rearranged, listening requires no more effort than turning on the radio. And if you want to skip an individual song, simply press the convenient button on the player's side.

The Complete slotRadio Experience
For zero-download convenience in a variety of genres, numerous slotRadio cards are available from SanDisk. Each card offers instant access to up to 1,000 preloaded hits*. The tunes are selected from Billboard and other trendsetting music charts, and they're professionally arranged into a variety of genre-themed playlists.

The compact slotRadio player measures 1.9 x 1.9 x .59 inches (W x H x D) and weighs just 1.3 ounces. It includes ear buds, an AC charger, and a durable silicone sleeve.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good for those who are not technology saavy., May 14, 2010

This review is from: SanDisk slotRadio Player with slotRadio Mix Card (Black/Silver) (Electronics)

The Good:

*Very simple to use.
*About 4 cents per song with numerous cards to buy.
*An option to add your own MP3 if you decide to buy a mini SD card.
*Square-shaped, nifty screen and a belt clip make the player look stylish.
*FM-Radio included which gives you the name of the song that is playing.



The Bad:

*Inability to rewind a song(skip-only.)



The Bottom Line:

Looking for an alternative to an IPod? Hate messing around with iTunes and downloading songs? Are you technologically-challenged? Then Sandisk SlotRadio may be the right player for you. Simply pop the card in and you are good to go. The only options you have are volume and skipping a song. This is an internet-radio style player that allows you to skip a song, but NOT rewind it. Think of this as a Pandora Radio Player that you can find on the Internet. Eash Sandisk card is split into 7 playlists. The card that is included in this bundle has 7 lists: Country, Contemporary, R&B/Hip-Hop, Alternative, Rock, Chillout and Workout. Other cards also have similar playlists, so that the songs are organized and not all thrown together. If you wish, you can purchase your own mini SD card, which is relatively cheap these days(look for it on Amazon.) However, even with your own SD card, you will have the same limitation of skipping, but not rewinding any song. If you don't like messing around with cards, then you can still use this player as a FM-Radio. The shape of this player is about 2x2 inch square with about half an inch in width, which means it can be covered in the palm of your hand. There are also armband and other accessories that you can currently buy for it as well. If you have a friend or a family member who want to own MP3 player, but do not know how to download songs, get them this and they'll thank you for it. Remember: If you are buying a bundle, then you also get 1,000 popular songs, which includes a good mix of genres.

5.0 out of 5 stars What a great audio system, October 18, 2010

Just perfect for my needs. I have two slot cards with 2000 songs which will last me a long time.
The cards have a great variety of music. Great radio for traveling and workouts. No downloading just insert
and play. The ability to go backwards to previously played songs or placing songs in your own order is not
important to me. I saw slot radios advertised a couple of years ago in an airline magazine and wish I would
have ordered one sooner. Like the small size and ease of operation.
