Ultra-Portable Slacker G2 Lets Listeners Take Their Favorite Personalized
Slacker Radio Stations on Planes, Trains and Everywhere in Between
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 or on Slacker Personal Radio players.
