Review
Most people are excited by new technology and want to rush out to buy the latest gadget. From the laser disc player to the Sony MiniDisk, some technologies have gone the way of the dodo. Now a new Sansa player has entered the market and only time (and a thorough review) will determine whether it will become the VCR or the Betamax player of the digital music age.This new Sansa player is known as the slotMusic player. At only $20, the player seems like a great deal.
Where does the music derive from? So, the Sansa player provides you two options. First, you may choose to obtain a microSD card plus transfer MP3 or WMA files from your PC onto the card. Next put in the card into the Sansa player, and you may listen to music. Of course, purchasing these cards can increase your price. A 4 GB card costs around $10 whilst a 16 GB card may run you more than $50.
An exclusive capability of the Sansa player is that you may also obtain your music a diverse means: buying full albums on slotMusic cards. The cards can be played in the Sansa player or in most other gadgets which accept microSD cards.
On the bright side, this way does let you to listen to manageable music even if you don’t have a computer. Certainly, so do CD’s if you have a proper CD player.
Other issues include the battery life. The Sansa player uses actually replaceable batteries instead of integrated rechargeable ones. And since you’re simply expected to obtain 15 hours of music listening out of the batteries, real music lovers could finish up using a chance on batteries alone. Plus, there’s no video support and no screen.
