 Auto-suggest helps you quickly narrow down your search results by suggesting possible matches as you type. Is it just me? There's no way I'd pay $40 for.... well... not sure exactly because this is all it says
"1,000 Rock songs featuring artists from the Billboard® charts including artists such as Anthrax, Beck, Bon Jovi, Bryan Adams, Coldplay, Corrosion of Conformity, Counting Crows, Duran Duran, Elvis Costello, Eric Clapton, Fall Out Boy, Heart, Korn, Live, Living Colour, Megadeth, No Doubt, Santana, Soundgarden, Squeeze, Steely Dan, System of a Down, Tears for Fears, The Killers, The Who and many more. It's great Rock music, made effortless."
"and many more...."???? $40 for random music? No track list, no complete artist list??
*Tip* to whoever markets these cards: Provide at the very least a COMPLETE artist list for each slotradio card.
Just trying to help.
Hey, I wouldn't knock it 'til you try it for yourself! The SlotRadio is like radio, except you don't have to wade through mindless announcements, irritating advertisements, and such...and you can pause the current song to enjoy later when interrupted.
If you've used the FM radio function, you don't have to worry about reorienting your noggin or the headphone cable to get a better signal either. There are plenty of genres on the card to suit your current mood.
For direct access of specific tracks, that's what the other functions of the Sansa are for: your favorites, available directly.
And at pennies a song, it's a very good deal. The tradeoff in accessibility is a simple one. Just think of radio, as the experience is different.
Oh, and the new logo looks cool.
Bob That's exactly my point. For the individual favorites, as in a few tracks per album, it's often better to purchase just those favorites, rather than an album that is full of fluff that isn't up to the same par as your favorite.
The SlotRadio card is surprising, I haven't been disappointed with "turkeys" in the mix. It's very similar to the Rhapsody Channels feature, if you stream a channel on the computer. Not that you have to use Rhapsody, Yahoo music had a similar venue too. The SR card was a real surprise the first time I scrolled through the menu.
I'm looking forward to future programming with classic jazz, for example. It's a great way to remember pieces I haven't heard in some time.
There's a virtual player here at SlotRadio. Try scrolling through some samples.
