"Who would want this?"
Pros: It has a clip
Cons: High price for a no-memory player, high price for music you can't pick, unknown bit-rate, unknown battery life, no rewind, no pause, no shuffling or arranging of song order (skip only)
Summary: Terrible descriptions of this player, both by Sansa and reviewers----no mention of battery life( "It would be nice if it were longer than 13 hrs"---so how long is it??? Just come out and state it!! ). No mention of bit-rate of pre-recorded songs or if player handles FLAC or other lossless media.
Who wants to pay $100 for a no-memory mp3 player just for the privilege of paying another $40 for 1000 songs somebody else picks for you? 80s Rock? Sounds like a bad K-tel mix. If you truly wanted the pre-recorded stuff, why wouldn't you go buy any cheap 1 or 2 gig player with a microSD slot (should run about $10-20), buy the $40 card, pocket the extra $50 bucks, and still have 1 or 2 gig to record your own stuff on!!! I have absolutely no idea how this could POSSIBLY sell.
Other small problem---fixed song order, you can skip, but you can't pause or rewind, if you stop, you start over from the beginning---of a 1000 song list. Hope you like the first 100 or so.....

Obviously, cole169, you have never had this player in your possession... and yet you feel free to post quite a few wrong "facts" about it. Here's a real review by someone who actually has a unit in their hands - http://www.dbtechno.com/gadgets/2009/04/16/sandisk-slotradio-player-review/ ... battery life is 13+ hours. You can pause (long press on skip). When you pause, or stop for that matter, the player will resume from the exact same point you stopped at. This is a very cool radio-like device. Very much like Pandora - but handcrafted by DJs instead of an algorithm. And you can skip unlimited times, vs. the 5-6 times per hour on Pandora or Slacker. It's for the 200+ million people that listen to radio and love the experience, minus the chatter and the commercials. My mom loves it. No PC, no sync, no credit card, no cables - effortless.
