SanDisk Corporation (NASDAQ: SNDK), the inventor and worlds largest supplier of flash storage cards, today unveiled the new Sansa® slotRadio™ player and companion line of slotRadio music cards designed especially for the casual music consumer. The Sansa slotRadio player is a small, stylish, portable music device that comes bundled with a slotRadio card preloaded with 1,000 songs handpicked from the Billboard® charts, and professionally arranged into a variety of genre-themed playlists.

slotRadios unprecedented simplicity will have even the most time-pressed music fans enjoying a huge range of music in no time, said Daniel Schreiber, senior vice president and general manager, SanDisk. 1,000 handpicked songs in your pocket with zero downloads makes enjoying digital music easier than ever. Never before has music been this accessible.

The immediacy of the plug-and-play model offered by the card-plus-player format ushers in a new way for consumers to enjoy music. To date, portable music devices typically required software installations, followed by time-consuming music selection and file-by-file downloading, topped off with cable connections and synchronization.

slotRadio dramatically lowers these barriers, offering a genuine alternative to existing options, said Noam Kedem, vice president of product management, SanDisk. This makes slotRadio a perfect player for the pressed-for-time mom, the harried traveler, the cant-stop-now fitness fanatic, as well as anyone who just wants to kick back and discover new songs, or re-discover a timeless favorite.

The player comes bundled with a slotRadio mix card containing 1,000 songs. It features a variety of playlists from Billboards charts, including rock, contemporary, country, and others organized into themes such as chillout, workout and more. While songs cannot be removed from the card, users can easily navigate between the playlists, and skip through songs at the press of a button.

"slotRadio offers a uniquely uncomplicated portable digital music experience, combining the music discovery aspects of radio with consumer choice in genre selection," said Susan Kevorkian, Program Director, Consumer Markets at IDC. "Solutions like slotRadio that offer competitively priced, straightforward new ways to acquire and interact with music will play a key role in driving demand among new and existing digital music device and service users as those markets continue to evolve."

Priced at $99.99 (MSRP)—including the 1,000 song card—the die-cast aluminum player also features a 1.5 OLED screen for viewing artist and song information, a FM radio and even an integrated, handy belt clip for hands-free listening. Additional 1,000 song, genre-specific and themed slotRadio cards will be sold separately at $39.99 MSRP.

The Sansa slotRadio player is expected to be available for purchase online at sansa.com and at more than 4,400 RadioShack stores nationwide in Early 2009.

The Sansa slotRadio cards are designed to be interchangeable with any slotRadio player and will be also compatible with the Sansa® Fuze™ line of MP3 players.

The Sansa slotRadio Player expands SanDisks Sansa audio/video product family, which includes the recently introduced slotMusic™ player and cards for avid fans, the popular Sansa Fuze™ and the small Sansa® Clip. For more information on SanDisks Sansa audio/video product line, visit www.sansa.com.

Yes! You can add your own on there. There is no on board memory with the player but works off of microSD cards or slotRadio cards. So you can use the slotRadio card, additional slotRadio cards OR you can also take a blank microSD card (SanDisk makes 2GB-16GB cards) and put your songs on the card and pop right into the player.

Hmmm. Except most likely I'm not gonna like very many of those 1,000 songs.

yes the fuze is based on flash, and you can add an additional microSD card in its slot if you run out of space

[ian12345678911111111]

External speakers usually clip when they are too small to support bass, the bass is too low for the little speakers and it clips the sound.
