An Mp3 With Almost No Work Required- Slacker G2

Slacker is a US only interactive Internet radio provider. It allows its users to create their own customizable music stations. In January, Slacker has reported that they contained a database with over 2 million songs divided into over 10000 artist stations, and an unlimited amount of personally created stations.
Now Slacker is the first internet radio service to come with a portable device, the Slacker G2. The device updates songs through WiFi, so that users can listen their personalized music station. On top of the device is the "Heart" and "Ban" buttons, that help lower the chance of listening to unwanted music. The more you listen, the better the music selections become.
The Slacker G2 does not necessarily require a WiFi connection because songs are stored into the device's library. You can also put in your own songs from your computer, but there is a limited amount of space. The two sizes, 4GB and the 8GB, can contain only 1GB and 3GB of personal music. The rest of the space is used for the music stations.
You might find that this is too good of a deal, for free music, but it does come for a small price. The music is sponsored by ads. You would most likely listen up to 3 minutes of ads in an hour of listening. For those of you who just can't stand ads, well there is another option. For just $7.95 a month, you can have unlimited skipping of songs and no ads. Oppose to the premium user, the regular user only gets 6 skips and bans per hour.
As for the abilities go for in the Slacker G2, there isn't much. It is only capable of playing audio files and have 10 preset equalizers. It does not support video or picture files. However, it does show the artist's name, the next artist, the song name, and the album picture. The targets of this product is for those who does not care not for their listening experience. The songs played from the WiFi connection are slightly worse than songs you would download. The batteries of the player lasts for 15 hours, but you need at least 50 percent of battery life to use the Wifi connection.
Overall, this product provides a very nice experience for slackers out there. It gives users a free music service, that helps them discover new music without doing much. There could be a couple of adjustments such as the volume function or the amount of personal music space, but other than that it is a great buy. At the official slacker website, slacker.com you can buy the 4Gb for $200 and the 8GB for $250.
