SanDisk Sansa Fuze Firmware Update Brings slotRadio Compatibility

Are you a SanDisk Sansa Fuze fan that wants in on some of that sweet slotRadio action? C’mon, you know you do. That’s why SanDisk’s latest Sansa Fuze firmware upgrade brings slotRadio card compatibility along with the usual bug fixes. For those not hip to slotRadio, its SanDisk’s new microsSD-based audio format that’s designed eliminate the perceived hassle of loading MP3 players with tracks via iTunes and other software, by allowing users to pop the cards directly into a slotRadio player ($99 with a 1,000 song mix card). Now you can use those same music cards with the Sansa Fuze. According to the gents at Anythingbutipod, using slotRadio cards with the Fuze is very similar to using them with dedicated slotRadio players. You skip songs and change stations with the main buttons, and the slotRadio interface only appears when a slotRadio card is inserted. Nice. If you’re ready to rock download the new firmware using the SanDisk Updater. Hat Tip: Anythingbutipod Note: If slotRadio compatibility isn’t enough, this update also brings file and folder browsing, and “Replay Gain”, which keeps the sound at an even level throughout a song or album.
