The Ultimate Music Player for You and Your Many Moods

When you work from home and you’re in front of a computer all day, it becomes second nature to have music playing pretty much all the time. Before you know it, your hard drive is completely full and you’re sitting there wondering how it’s possible that there is no space left on your computer as you’re simultaneously listening to a few hundred different albums playing on shuffle. Not only do we find ourselves absolutely needing music to function in our internet lives, our minds also crave music while we’re driving, walking around the block to stretch our limbs, working out, getting ready for the day ahead of us, music plays a very big role in our every day lives. That is precisely why mp3 players and iPods have exceeded popularity and become a social necessity. As we continue to become a very technological society, more and more people are hopping on the mp3 player bandwagon, but there are still a lot of people out there who don’t necessarily understand how to work the average mp3 player–how to load music onto it from our computers, how to even get music downloaded onto our computers in the first place, and so on. There are also a great deal of people thinking to themselves “Why can’t there be a simpler way to enjoy music while on the go? Well now there is.

Sansa slotRadio The Sansa slotRadio from SanDisk is the ultimate no hassle music player. There’s no transferring your music from your computer to your music device; no trying to figure out how to get music transferred if you’re not completely comfortable with music downloading or music playing gadgets, no waiting for all of your files to transfer or wondering how much space you have left on your mp3 player and if all of your files will fit, because if you’re as big of a music freak as I am, they can continue making mp3 players with more and more space, but you will always have more music needed to be loaded onto it and chances are, you’re going to run out of that space real quick. The slotRadio comes pre-loaded with 1,000 full-length songs featuring artists from the Billboard charts, professionally arranged into genres that you can flip through. It also has an FM radio integrated into it so if you listen to the morning radio shows you won’t miss them while listening to your slotRadio. Additional slotRadio cards are available for purchase if you want to mix things up a little. You can purchase additional cards for a variety of genres, including health and fitness for all of those great songs to work out to, rock, country, R&B/hip hop, oldies, 80′s and 90′s, daily mix and the slotRadio mix. However, even if you listen to your slotRadio constantly, it will take you quite some time to get through all 1,000 songs that are loaded onto the Billboard charts card that you receive with the player; I have had my slotRadio for a little over a month now and still haven’t made my way through all of the songs. It definitely has something for everyone and something for everyone’s many moods.

You may be apprehensive about the idea of a pre-loaded music player; what if you don’t enjoy any of the songs that are on the card that comes with it? I had the same apprehension and so did my partner who, when I initially told him about the slotRadio told me ‘You should just get a regular mp3 player since you’re guaranteed to like all the music on it.’ But after we both had our time with it, we found that there were many, many songs on the card that we both loved. A misconception that we picked up on from looking at the slotRadio website and actually using it ourselves is that the Billboard card is not full of songs that are currently on the Billboard charts; it encompasses a great deal of songs from years. I was very pleasantly surprised to get reacquainted with a great deal of songs that I had forgotten about completely that took me right back to those good times from the past that gave me that incredible warm and fuzzy feeling you get when you reminisce on past memories that are attached to the songs you heard on the radio or the bands you loved at that time.

All in all, I absolutely love the Sansa slotRadio; I listen to it when I’m working on my laptop from bed and have even used it quite a few times while sitting at my desktop, even with my ample supply of music at my fingertips that I have on my desktop. If you’re looking for a quality music player that involves no work or hassle whatsoever, I would definitely recommend you check out the Sansa slotRadio.

If you would like to purchase the Sansa slotRadio, it is available for purchase on the official website as well as to Radio Shack stores nationwide.

    Hi great write up. Other Sansa players will play SlotRadio cards also. The Sansa Fuse (after a ROM upgrade) and the new Sansa Clip + will accept SlotRadio cards. Then you have best of both!
