Do you like to change things up? If so, you will love the card wallet which you can clip and carry up to four SanDisk® cards and cases wherever you go. So whenever your mood changes, just pop in a new card and keep going.
The SanDisk slotRadio is the newest gadget from Sansa. The slotRadio, priced at $99.99 is both an FM radio and a disk player- only the disks are SanDisk cards (similar to what most digital cameras have these days). The gadget operates much like a radio in the fact that you select a disk by genre and it plays a preset listing of songs. Much like a radio, you don’t really get much choice in what song is played, but you can skip (but not repeat) songs. I’ll admit a bit of frustration when I tried to repeat asong again and I had to skip through hundreds of songs before finding it again- I’m not 100% positive but it does appear the songs play randomly.
Don’t worry too much about repeats as each channel comes with 1000 songs. The slotRadio comes with a mixed disk but you’ll have to purchase any additional disks- in the categories of country, classical, rock n roll, oldies all with 1000 songs each. At the cost of $39.99 per disk (plus shipping & handling) that’s less than 5 cents per song, which beats out iTunes (generally 99 cents for one song). Sansa plans to keep updating disks to keep the list of songs current.
The slotRadio is small, light and the clip holds up to a fast-paced workout. The disks are small but manageable. Sansa does have a lot of accessories to help keep you organized from a travel case, card holder, and wristband.
