The entire campus is bathed in a WiFi glow, and would be great for this to constantly update and pull new songs. This would be very good for me, as I am a student at OSU.

What adds? I do not have a premium account and have yet to hear an add but presume that at some point they will be forthcoming. Maybe you get adds on the player but I've never gotten them online. Great if you have unlimited WEP access codes or unprotected wireless networks in your area... otherwise.. er.. you can only really use this in places where you all ready have your laptop. If you need more portability ... maybe a great device. It doesn't seem to be DRM compatible for non-slacker files (or so I was told) and not audible.com compatible. So.. yes.. you can add music that you OWN... but not apparantly music that you subscribe to from any other service. I give slacker great credit for moving us forward.. and I so wanted one of these... I may get one yet... but it can't yet replace really a simple playlist and a sync to a more simple (and much cheaper) device and a subscription to a DRM library. I look forward to others posting their experience... Adds? What adds? I do not have a premium account and have yet to hear an add but presume that at some point they will be forthcoming.
