slotMusic Overview

Q: What's the difference between a slotMusic card and a microSD card? They look the same.

A: A slotMusic card is a read-writeable microSD card that comes pre-loaded with music. It also may include other files such as remix loops for making mixes, MIDI, Karaoke and video and includes extra space so you can load your own stuff on the card. An easy way to identify a slotMusic card is to look for the slotMusic logo. A generic microSD card will not have the slotMusic logo.

Q: Where can I play a slotMusic card? Do they play everywhere that regular microSD cards play?

A: slotMusic cards will play in any device that is slotMusic compatible. Many products that don't have the logo yet will also be able to play slotMusic cards. At a minimum a device must have a microSD slot and be able to play MP3 files at up to 320 kbps

Q: This is the first I've heard of slotMusic. How long has this been around?

A: slotMusic is a new product created to make it easy to buy music and instantly load it into portable players, mobile phones or other devices that have card slots and can play music.

Q: How do I access the extras on the slotMusic card?

A: It depends on the content. The extras on slotMusic cards vary from artist to artist. For example, one artist might include some remix loops for one of his songs while another artist might include Karaoke or MIDI files with his release. Visit slotMusic.org for more information slotMusic extras.

Q: Do I need a computer to play music on my slotMusic card?

A: No. One of the great things about a slotMusic card is it comes ready to play loaded with music in a high quality MP3 format Just plug it in and go. Of course you can use a microSD to USB adapter to instantly transfer the songs to your PC or Mac. That's the beauty of slotMusic: instant access, anywhere.

Q: Can I play slotMusic cards on a Mac and a PC?

A: Yes! All you need is a microSD to USB adapter. These are available at electronics retailers and online at shopsansa.com. Some slotMusic titles will come bundled with a microSD to USB adapter. Always look for the slotMusic logo for the best experience.

Q: Can I transfer the music to my computer and format the slotMusic card so I can store other things on it?

A: A pre-loaded slotMusic card has lots of free space that allows you to add your content to the card in addition to the slotMusic pre-loaded content. You can also transfer the slotMusic content to your computer and reformat the card. Be aware that formatting your card will remove all data, so be sure to back up your files.

Q: It's so small. How does it compare to a CD?

The music for slotMusic cards is always in high quality MP3 format. The minimum bit rate allowed for slotMusic titles is 256kbps. The music industry refers to this as CD transparent compression, meaning that it's nearly impossible for an average listener to distinguish from a CD. In short, it sounds awesome.

Q: Can I put music I already have onto the slotMusic card, or do I have to buy another blank microSD card to put my music onto?

A: slotMusic cards have extra room for your stuff, meaning you can add your own music if you like. The amount of space will vary from card to card depending on what slotMusic title you purchased. You can also use any microSD card to build your own music card.
