Sansa® slotRadio

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I recently received a SanDisk Sansa® slotRadio to review.

Reading the literature the slotRadio doesn’t appear very impressive.  The website says It’s a small, stylish music player that comes bundled with a slotRadio™ Mix card preloaded with 1,000 full-length songs featuring artists from the Billboard® charts, and professionally arranged into a variety of genre-themed playlists.  To be honest my first thought was “what’s the point”  I mean you can get an MP3 player and have music you choose not just a genre of pre-mixed music.

When the slotRadio arrived I had to eat those words.  It’s well made, sturdy and small.  It uses a micro SD card which you can purchase pre-loaded or you can download your own music to a disk.  In addition it’s an FM radio.  That was a surprise to me.  The bundle comes with a protective cover, earbuds, USB cord with AC adapter for charging.  The unit also has a belt clip on the back.  The sound quality from the slotRadio was above what I was expecting and I was very impressed with this unit and felt it was well worth the price.

As mentioned above the slotRadio comes with a pre-loaded disk with a mix of top 100 songs from the Billboard® charts.  Additional disks in your genre of choice can be purchased.

This would make a great gift for those that are not computer saavy and not able to download music or those who don’t have a computer. It is also a good gift for those who can download music but want the option of a radio without having to carry 2 units with them.

slotRadio is available from SanDisk for $79.99 with pre-loaded cards for $39.99.  The slotRadio can also be purchased from Radio Shack and Best Buy.
