Even casual music fans who enjoy Billboard hits should save their cash and stick to FM radio.


Highs: Solid build quality; generous accessory bundle

Lows: Very little control over tracks; clumsy radio controls; no equalizer; no hold button; possible to accidentally skip tracks

Introduction

After attempting to sway tech simpletons away from CDs and on to microSD cards with the SlotMusic player, SanDisk is back to conquer the hearts of radio listeners in 2009 with the Sansa SlotRadio. Using a microSD card loaded with 1,000 songs across multiple genres, SanDisk hopes to emulate the radio with a twist: you technically own all the songs. Pick a genre and press play. Though SanDisk paints it as a perfect solution for tech-challenged or terminally lazy folks who can’t be bothered with managing music, skeptics will see it as a severely DRM-crippled MP3 player. Who’s right? It depends on where you stand.
