Win a Sansa slotMusic Don’t Quit! Fitness Bundle!

by Diane Penna on December 2nd, 2008

sansa bundle If you’re like me, exercise is a chore. The only way I’ve been able to get through a session of sweating on the treadmill lately is to crank up the tunes on my mp3 player. Unfortunately for me, my husband stole my mp3 player, but thankfully I received an offer to review a new product by Sansa — the slotMusic Don’t Quit! fitness bundle.

Here is what I learned about slotMusic:

  • slotMusic is high-fidelity mp3 music on a MicroSD card, which is about the size of a dime.
  • slotMusic cards are used with Sansa’s new slotMusic player, but can be played on your computer using a USB adapter. The card also fits into many cell phones, including my LG Chocolate.
  • When you buy a slotMusic card, you get a 1GB card with the album of your choice and room on the card to add your own files.
  • Each slotMusic card album comes with a card case and an artist’s booklet containing album information and lyrics.

After learning a bit about this new music format, I was anxious to try out the music player. I was thrilled when it arrived, and even more excited as I tried out the product.

Here are the noteworthy benefits and features:

  • Everything you need is included: the slotMusic player, a music card, one battery, a set of earbuds, a MicroSD USB adapter (for computer use), and an easy-to-follow instruction card.
  • There are exactly 4 steps to get the music from the package to your ears. It took me no more than 30 seconds to open the package, insert the battery, plug in the earbuds, and start listening.
  • The Don’t Quit! card included has more than 80 minutes of music for you to enjoy while working out.
  • There are no cords to plug in, no transfers or syncs, and no waiting. One battery keeps the player running for up to 15 hours.
  • The Sansa slotMusic player plays slotMusic cards as well as mp3 and wma music files on MicroSD cards.

Now, the part you’ve been waiting for, your chance to win!

1.   Take a look at Sansa’s site, and browse the slotMusic card artists available.

2.   Come back to this post and leave a comment with the name of the artist and album you would most like to listen to on your slotMusic player when not working out to the Don’t Quit! album.

A winner will be randomly chosen out of all eligible entries received before 11:59 PST on Tuesday, December 9th, and the winner will receive the Sansa slotMusic Don’t Quit! bundle PLUS the album they noted in their comment!

Only one entry per person, and you must leave your contact information. I can only ship to the U.S. and Canada, but I can get the prize shipped in time for Christmas.

I really think you’ll love listening to this while you walk on the treadmill, lift weights, or jog down the street. Good luck!

    I joined WW a few weeks ago, so I’ve been trying to add regular workouts to my day, I borrow my son’s mp3 player right now. My favorite band is Nickelback, since I don’t see them there I’d probably choose Daughtry:)

    I would definitely listen to the Robin Thicke music. He reminds me of the music my parents used to listen to when I was growing up!

    I’m also back on WW, so I have been walking more and taking the steps more often, too!

    Wow this looks like a wonderful addition to a healthy lifestyle. I think I’d choose the Pussycat dolls. They are so fun and upbeat! it keeps my tempo up, my reps fast and my speed in the “ZONE”. Thanks for the giveaway!

    Katy Perry…I like “I kissed a girl”.

    Another WW follower. I’ve fallen lately though and need to get back to meetings and the treadmill.

    I would choose Chris Brown (but I like most of the ones they offer). I find the treadmill incredibly boring and we just got an elipticle and I find that really hard. I need something to take my mind off of both.

    I switch my workout music up weekly, so I love hearing new songs that will rock my workout. I’m going to have to say I’m curious about the Lady Gaga slotmusic.

    There are multiple songs from the Bare Naked Ladies that have a great beat and keep me smiling. The album Rock Spectacle is fantastic.

    Winning this would give me the chance to get the Leona Lewis album. Her music just makes me smile but I have no guts to buy it.

    What a great prize! I like that you can have multiple cards if you need more storage. I use a shuffle for working out so I have limited space.

    I would get Pussycat Dolls. “When I Grow Up” always gets me moving!

  • Gina

    No contest! I’d choose Abba Gold. Their music gets me moving; I even do housework to their music. Having it on a Sansa player would mean I wouldn’t have to frighten my cat by playing it on my CD player LOUDLY. lol

    Pussycat Dolls: Doll Domination would be my choice because I love club music to workout to.

    This will be so perfect for me. I just got a new elliptical and it HURTS - I need distracting, inspiring music to help me get through the pain!

    I could definitely use something to help motivate me to work out more! I’d choose Katy Perry because her songs seem like they could get me moving. Thanks!

  • Valerie C
    Dec 9, 2008 at 12:41 pm

    I love the Elvis 1 album. Or Jimmy Buffet - you can’t beat that!

    Wow. I can’t believe I haven’t heard of these before. I’ve been trying to get back into the groove of daily workouts, and this would totally help. I think I would choose Katy Perry, for some upbeat music.

  • kristin

  • Storm
    Dec 9, 2008 at 3:55 pm

    Dec 9, 2008 at 4:00 pm

    I’m a geek. I’d want Abba Gold. Seriously. I love Abba. But not enough to actually buy any of the cds. ;-)

    So, when I win… You can get me on Twitter, or email wordvixen [at] gmail {dot} com
