Slacker Announces Availability of Portable Personal Radio Players

Slacker Portable Players Give Music Lovers Freedom to Enjoy Personal Radio Anytime, Anywhere

SAN DIEGO, Nov. 15 /PRNewswire/ -- Slacker, Inc., today announced the availability of the world's first truly portable personalized radio players. Slacker Portable Players in 15, 25 and 40 station capacities extend the personal radio experience of the free Slacker Basic Radio and recently announced Slacker Premium Radio services.

Whether choosing the free or premium radio services, the players provide customers access to the extensive Slacker music library and associated artist profiles, album reviews and large cover art on the 4" vivid color display. Simply refresh your personalized Slacker stations via Wi-Fi or USB to ensure you always have the newest hits and classic favorites at your fingertips.

"With the Slacker Portable Radio Player, for the first time, people can play their personalized radio stations wherever they go," said Dennis Mudd, CEO of Slacker. "We've created a groundbreaking portable music device that lets people play their favorite music without working at it, whenever they want to listen."

Revolutionary DJ technology built into the device, and a new class of radio licenses, allow the Slacker Portable to play highly personalized radio stations even when not connected to Wi-Fi or any network.

Slacker has previously announced new licensing deals with all of the major record labels and thousands of independent record labels, which provide the Slacker Portable direct access to an extensive music catalog. The portable players can automatically create perfect radio stations without the requirement of having to manage content or even a direct connection to a Mac or PC.
