There are a few problems with Slotradio. First of all, imo the price point is too high. Consumers typically only buy impulse items if they are priced under $20. Having 500 song cards at under $20 rather than 1,000 song cards at under $40 would imo have been much more popular.
The next issue is that people want to have their own music as well on a card in the player. Slotradio+ cards seem to address this, but adds to the cost of the cards. Having a second card slot on players would be another way to address this.
Imo if there would be a way to mark disliked songs on the cards so they won’t play, the Slotradio cards would be much more popular. It is so annoying to have to manually skip to the next song every time a disliked song starts playing. If someone only likes around 30% of the songs, the cards would still be worthwhile if the disliked 70% could be programmed to be skipped.
I also thought it would be nice to have a player with two slots. And not just for a slotradio card. It could hold two 16gb cards for those with a large music library. That’ll be 48gb of storage with a 16gb player. And how much larger would the player have to be? Maybe another half to three-quarters of an inch long?
The slotradio cards seem to sell well enough for Sandisk to keep producing newer cards. There’s already quite a long list of them. It’s good for those that don’t want to rip CDs or have to download their music.
The slotradio+ cards don’t seem to be selling as well, I’m guessing. The higher price is a deterrent imo, and it only has 4gb of user storage. It should be at least 8gb. But would I pay $55 to $60 for that? No.
