Full FeedSanDisk’s Sansa slotRadio MP3 player
At CES, SanDisk recently announced a new type of MP3 player that, instead of downloading and purchasing music, you can purchase a special card that is preloaded with top music. Let’s see what exactly this is and how it all works.
Downloading and purchasing music can be a hassle, especially when you have it, then you want to get it on your MP3 player. SanDisk looks to cut out the middleman of purchasing music, and sell the music directly to you, let you immediately put it on your slotRadio, and play it - very efficient. In the box comes a slotRadio card with 1,000 songs already on it. Essentially, the device itself has limited on board memory, but the special cards carry all the songs, so it works well.
Now, when I first heard of this product, I thought what if the preloaded music wasn’t anything I liked, then it would be a complete waste of money. Well, the 1,000 songs are compiled based on Billboard’s charts and encompasses a variety of music including rock, contemporary, country, and “chillout”, “workout”, and more. I’m sure most of the songs preloaded are ones that you would like if you keep up with top music.
The device comes with a 1.5 OLED screen, an FM radio, and a belt clip. It is set to retail for $99.99, and the special cards sell for $39.99. These are set to be available soon at sansa.com and over 4,400 RadioShack retail stores.
If you want to check out this device, be sure to hit up SanDisk’s CES booth. If you can’t, we will have a hands-on soon, which offers more information and pictures. Stay tuned!

Rubbish idea. Honestly, this would only cause more problems. First of, the major labels would have to release a seperated form of media only for those SanDisk users. I mean there is a reason why Samsung, Apple or Sony havn’t ignored their roots.
