[THIS GIVEAWAY HAS ENDED: WE HAVE A WINNER - CONGRATULATIONS, MICHELLE LOPEZ 5/13 - PLEASE CHECK YOUR EMAIL FOR FURTHER INSTRUCTIONS!!!]
If you're like me, then you love music, but (if you're A LOT like me) you don’t have the time to spend hours creating a music library.
Seriously, technically-challenged folks (like me) might be interested to learn that there's a new music player in the house.
Why?
Sansa slotRadio is a tiny portable player preloaded with a 1,000 songs from the Billboard charts and organized into various genres without the hassle of downloads, software or a PC. Seriously, all you have to do is press play and you're good to go!
Aaaand, we got the chance to try one -- wanna see?
My 3 oldest kids have mp3 players (curiously, all from SanDisk) and I used to have an iPod, but my oldest "borrowed" it from my purse one day and it, you know, somehow managed to lose its way home. No big deal (sort of) frankly, when it comes to downloading songs from iTunes, I am all thumbs and feel totally out of sync!
With the slotRadio instant load player, you get 1,000 songs with zero downloads -- that's right, mine came with a slotRadio card already pre-loaded with a mix of one thousand songs -- you just clip it on and go, go, go!
For those of you who are A LOT like me and can appreciate when the use of visual aides is strongly encouraged, here's a quick video review of all the cool stuff I like about the slotRadio player:
Other benefits include:
- Various play lists including Urban, Rock, Contemporary, Alternative, Country as well as “Chillout” and “Workout” play lists
- FM tuner – so mom can listen to her favorite radio stations
- Integrated belt clip for hands-free listening – great for the gym, walks with the kids, running errands, etc.
- Up to 13 hours of battery life between charges (and a plug for the wall)
- Consumers can purchase additional cards to swap in the player to listen to a 1,000 songs of their favorite type of music with no work involved
So, what type of music does it play? Here's a sampling of recording artists you'll find on the slotRadio card:
Billboard Country
Card features love songs, Country Belles, and road trip favorites including class acts such as Johnny Cash, George Strait, Shania Twain, Carrie Underwood, Keith Urban and Hank Williams, Jr.
Billboard Oldies
Card features love ballads, Pop, R&B, Motor City and Rock inspired playlists that include songs from The Beach Boys, Earth, Wind & Fire, Elvis Presley, Smokey Robinson, Diana Ross, The Temptations and more.
Billboard Hip Hop/R&B
Artists as diverse as Akon, Snoop Dogg, Marvin Gaye, Whitney Houston, Janet Jackson and TLC are brought together on the Billboard Hip Hop/R&B card in themed playlists that cover every mood and tempo from relaxing old school R&B classics, love jams and ballads to current beat-driven Hip Hop hits.

FINAL VERDICT: The "player bundle" is currently being sold online at SanDisk and Radio Shack for $99.99 (includes the player and 1,000 song card).
Additional genre-specific music cards are also available for $40 that include 1,000 songs.
Basically, you don't need any software, or have to download a thing, or even need to have a computer, to be able to make this music player work -- my mom would appreciate that -- YES, the slotRadio is one of the simplest music players out there.
Want one?
My friends at SanDisk have offered to send one (1) of our beloved readers a slotRadio Bundle, including slotRadio Instant Load Player and slotRadio Mix Card (pre-loaded with 1,000 songs) just in time for Mothers Day!
