You can pay $39.99 and get an additional 1,000 songs; and seven add-on cards can be installed. Many of them has more of a genre focus like: rock, country, hip-hop, etc.. Songs are only 4 cents a pop and just 10 cents with a player, slotRadio has restrictions: Because music is protected by DRM that locks it to the slotRadio cards, and, more importantly, it doesn’t allow you to select songs you want to listen to but it’s like a Random Format of music. Basically songs are sorted into different channels, and each with over a hundred songs available. However, if you don’t like a song, you can skip to the next one, for instance; if you love Korn’s “Make Me BAD” and you want to hear it 4 or 5 times in a row, it will not allow that type of function. So it’s like Pandora but the offline version. The small monochrome screen show you what you’re playing and displaying, , plus volume controls and a skip button. You can recharge via USB and you also have the option to play regular MP3’s on them if you would like to. Earbuds comes with this device and it’s great for people who just want to listen to music and not have to worry about uploads, downloads and etc. For more information about this product please go to SanDisk.com
