If you're not familiar with Slacker.com, the free interactive Interweb music player that lets you listen to - or custom create - music stations that play your favorite tunes,
go check it out. Then once you're hooked like the rest of us, and can't tear yourself away from your computer (and don't own an iPhone or Blackberry, which it also streams through), you might want to consider the Slacker G2.
The G2 is a slick portable music player that can learn your musical preferences and update itself automatically with free personalized music selections, without you doing any work on your part. It connects to Wi-Fi, grabs tunes using their DJ selection software according to your personal listening prefs, and then uses their cache technology to store the music so you can listen anywhere - and get fresh music - even when there isn't a connection. Or while your flying on a plane at 30,000 feet.
The G2 delivers CD quality music, along with album cover art and other info, and can store up to 8GB, or about 5,000 songs. Earphones let you enjoy without subjecting your seat mate or fellow cube dwellers to your unique musical tastes.
