Members ezstep Posted December 3, 2009 Members Share Posted December 3, 2009 Son-in-law keeps asking about my Slacker G2, and even asked that I bring it along when we took Isaac to Children's Hospital in Little Rock recently. I just ordered him one for Christmas. The difference in cost between 2 gig (mine) and 8 gig is less than $20. I got him the 8 gig. One convert at a time....

I use my Nokia E71 as a music player since it does FLAC and has a Bluetooth interface that supports A2DP as does my car stereo. + Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members ezstep Posted December 3, 2009 Author Members Share Posted December 3, 2009 I have been able to renew it via motel WiFi only one time. I have tried four times. Other than that, no problems at all. (I believe that problem was more punching in the motel security WiFi codes more than anything else.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine has 3 times, but I was expecting that after reading the reviews. No big deal. no, i just don't use it. because even as extensive as slacker's library is, there's still a lot of stuff i listen to that they don't (didn't?) have. also - are you sure you're running the latest firmware? mine was {censored}ting the bed left and right for a while. dug around on their forums and found the solution, and it was never a problem again. YMVV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YMVV. Yep, it's the latest version. I got a fast reply direct from slacker with the instructions. I guess I think I'm pretty sure I think it's the latest. And I'm surprised I haven't gotten any ads on the portable. Except a few 5 second "your listening to slacker" things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
