  • Abstract:  Slacker is a web based music service that offers both a free and paid version. The Slacker clients stream music via the web as well as many smartphones. I’ve subscribed for about 6 months because the paid version of Slacker allows me to skip as many...

  • Abstract:  Video Review: The Slacker G2 personal radio player has a cool concept: subscribe to their service and access all the music you want for free, streamed directly to the player. No need to rip CDs and transfer them to your MP3 player. But does it live up...

  • Introduces new music that you’ll like. Vast music catalog draws from range of styles. Custom stations and ratings for your own touch. Good audio quality.
  • Sluggish G2 interface. Unwieldy Web interface. Lacks Mac utility to play your own music. Too many features held from subscriptionfree users. Can’t rewind tracks. WiFi doesn’t work with hidden networks.
  • While its interface often disappoints, the Slacker G2 rocks as a music guide. Your iPod is still the headliner, but the Slacker G2, as an opening act, shows potential....

  • Abstract:  I’ve been a devoted user of Internet radio station Slacker pretty much since it launched in spring 2007. Slacker licenses its library of 2 million-plus songs from major record labels and publishers and organizes them in 100 channels ranging from Tradit...

  • Smaller size, Better audio quality, Longer battery life, Artist and album info
  • Long boot times, Have to pay for a service if you want unlimited song skips and no ads
  • Its only been four months since I reviewed Slackers first generation Slacker Personal Radio Player, and now they have a new model available called the G2. Ive loved using their first player, so I was super excited to be able to get my hands on a se...

  • Endless free content, Lightweight, Useful accessories
  • Sluggish interface, Ultra pricy, Poor interface for non-Slacker files, Earphones lack any bass, *
  • As an MP3 player, the G2 is a rather unremarkable piece of hardware, but when coupled with Slacker’s valuable online radio service, it truly offers a unique solution for owners who don’t want to be bothered by constantly refreshing their ...

  • Nicely designed device; easy to use; good music variety; access to short album reviews and artist biographies.
  • No Mac software; Mac users cant use MP3 playing feature; syncs only via Wi-Fi; screen is difficult to see in bright sunlight.
  • If you’re a big fan of the Slacker Internet radio service, the Wi-Fi-equipped G2 Personal Radio Player is a great device that frees you being shackled to a computer. But if you already own an iPhone () or iPod touch (), the G2 isn’t compelling...

  • Abstract:  Like Richard Linklater’s Gen X movie of a similar name, the Slacker G2 Personal Radio Player will appeal to the slacker in you. It’s a lazy man’s MP3 player, propelled by Slacker’s own limitless music service, which offers hundreds of songs, album art ...

  • Abstract:  We check out the Slacker G2 portable music device, which is less about choice and more about laid-back listening.

  • Allows lazy music discovery. Lets you listen and edit stations on the device, Slacker.com, or Windows software. Also loads MP3s, WMAs and AACs the old fashioned way too (Windows only). Clean sound. Nice inear headphones, controls. Displays album art band...
  • Updating via WiFi connection eats lots of battery life. The rubber stoppers that plug USB and (unused) docking port get lost easily. WiFi connection requires AC adapter if battery power is below 50 percent. Doesnt leave room for much music loaded from you...
