Ultra-Portable Slacker G2 Lets Listeners Take Their Favorite Personalized Slacker Radio Stations on Planes, Trains and Everywhere in Between SAN DIEGO, Sept. 16
SAN DIEGO, Sept. 16 /PRNewswire/ -- Slacker, Inc., today announced the
availability of the Slacker G2 Personal Radio Player, the next generation of
the world's only completely portable Personal Radio player. The Slacker G2
gives music lovers the freedom to listen to their favorite Slacker Radio
stations on a full-featured portable player, wherever they go -- even when not
connected to any network.
Slacker Personal Radio, available online at http://www.Slacker.com,
enables listeners to personalize over 100 expertly programmed stations and
create, edit and share their own Personal Radio stations. Slacker listeners
also have easy access to artist profiles, album reviews and cover art within
the Slacker Web Player and on their Slacker Personal Radio Players.
The same Slacker Personal Radio experience listened to by millions is now
completely portable with the Slacker G2 Personal Radio Player. Slacker's
patent-pending radio delivery network automatically downloads and continuously
refreshes thousands of personally selected songs on each device, and turns
them into personalized radio stations -- all for free. Because the players
don't have to be connected to Wi-Fi to play, Slacker G2 owners can listen to
CD quality, personalized radio everywhere they go.
Personalized music is automatically delivered to the Slacker G2 without
having to manage playlists, research new artists or deal with complicated
software. The Slacker G2 does all of the work -- just plug in headphones and
listen to the perfect music experience wherever you are.
There is no subscription required for Slacker G2 owners to access the
extensive Slacker online music library, artist profiles, album reviews and
large cover art. The Slacker library of millions of songs from all genres and
eras ensures that music lovers can enjoy radio stations ranging from music of
the golden-era classics to today's hottest hits.
"The Slacker G2 makes personalized radio ultra portable," said Dennis
Mudd, CEO of Slacker. "It lets you listen to the music you love everywhere you
go, without having to work at it."
Whether listeners choose from more than 100 expertly programmed Slacker
stations, over 10,000 artist stations, or their own custom-created stations,
the Slacker G2 provides an unparalleled music discovery and listening
experience without the need to manage playlists or download and transfer
individual songs. Easily accessible "Favorite" and "Ban" buttons provide for
quick personalization of each station while listening to the Slacker G2.
Slacker has previously announced licensing arrangements with all of the
major record labels and publishers, and thousands of independent labels and
publishers, to provide access to millions of songs that can be played online
