I mean, the price per song is extremely low and it would give your average radio listener quite a decent selection. Believe it or not, some people really enjoy Billboard hits.<br><br>It's most certainly not for everyone (or anyone who visits this site). But if they'd just add some on-board memory so the user could put his/her own music on in addition to the cards, I think they'd quite possibly be onto something.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Rollins]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jan 7th 2009 4:42AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on SanDisk slotRadio player comes with jam-packed card: like NOW, but infinitely worse]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/07/sandisk-slotradio-player-comes-with-jam-packed-card-like-now-b/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/07/sandisk-slotradio-player-comes-with-jam-packed-card-like-now-b/</guid><description><![CDATA[indeed.

I am viciously opposed to DRM and the purchasing of songs in this manner.<br><br>That being said however, if they are really offering Billboard songs for 3.9c a piece that is a hard deal to beat.<br><br>At this price I don't give a flying fuck if it really is impossible to delete off the card, media shift, whatever.  Let's face it.  3.9c a piece is A GOOD DEAL.<br><br>That is if the music does not completely suck.  They are offering genre specific cards for 39.99$ a piece as well.<br><br>So while I am pretty much opposed to ideas like this that lock up music and provide low value, if it really is 1/30th the cost of purchasing it elsewhere, I might consider it.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Ed]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jan 7th 2009 6:38AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on SanDisk slotRadio player comes with jam-packed card: like NOW, but infinitely worse]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/07/sandisk-slotradio-player-comes-with-jam-packed-card-like-now-b/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/07/sandisk-slotradio-player-comes-with-jam-packed-card-like-now-b/</guid><description><![CDATA[While I realize the market is incredibly niche, this *is* useful for people who work in controlled workspaces.

Personally, I own a Sansa View and the Slotmusic albums don't seem too out of the question for me... but they are all running at $13.99. Would they seem slightly more viable at $9.99, maybe, but for now I will stick to amazon mp3.<br><br>I will note that the standard albums do provide you will a 1gb micro sd card that can be used at your discretion once you've ripped your tracks. Something to keep in mind. ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[JRockDetroit]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jan 7th 2009 8:33AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on SanDisk slotRadio player comes with jam-packed card: like NOW, but infinitely worse]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/07/sandisk-slotradio-player-comes-with-jam-packed-card-like-now-b/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/07/sandisk-slotradio-player-comes-with-jam-packed-card-like-now-b/</guid><description><![CDATA[I hate to say it but this might do okay. It's not at all my thing and I can't imagine why anyone would want this, but this crowd that reads this site has a different attitude towards this than a lot of other people. We're talking VCR using, road map atlas in the backseat, audio cassettes, confused by mp3s, old computer, etc. I mean it's a horrible idea for me and most of us, and I hate to say it but it's probably a good idea for a decent amount of people. $40 for 1,000 songs isn't bad at all, it just depends on what the songs are.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[JPN]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jan 7th 2009 8:33AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on SanDisk slotRadio player comes with jam-packed card: like NOW, but infinitely worse]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/07/sandisk-slotradio-player-comes-with-jam-packed-card-like-now-b/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/07/sandisk-slotradio-player-comes-with-jam-packed-card-like-now-b/</guid><description><![CDATA[slotRADIO is a perfect name because it's just like radio- some corporate bigwig chooses the songs you hear.  bravo on the name.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[CraziestGadgets.com]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jan 7th 2009 8:40AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on SanDisk slotRadio player comes with jam-packed card: like NOW, but infinitely worse]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/07/sandisk-slotradio-player-comes-with-jam-packed-card-like-now-b/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/07/sandisk-slotradio-player-comes-with-jam-packed-card-like-now-b/</guid><description><![CDATA[Dude, I would totally buy this if...<br>-<br><br>-<br><br>-<br><br>Meh, I can't come up with anything.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Luke]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jan 7th 2009 12:31PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on SanDisk slotRadio player comes with jam-packed card: like NOW, but infinitely worse]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/07/sandisk-slotradio-player-comes-with-jam-packed-card-like-now-b/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/07/sandisk-slotradio-player-comes-with-jam-packed-card-like-now-b/</guid><description><![CDATA[I have the 1st gen Slotmusic player and five of the slotmusic cards I got at BB.  It's replaced my iPod shuffle as my work/workout player as its easier to change media and create new mixes with the slotmusic player.  The music on the cards are DRM-free and quick, easy to import anywhere.  They also sound good at 320 bps MP3.  Not quite as good as ripping my CDs in a lossless format, but still very good to excellent.  I'm definitely taking a look at the new player when its available.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Techbob]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jan 7th 2009 2:17PM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
