Like most, you may be wondering what the perfect gift for dad will be. In the past you’ve given ties, electric razors, restaurant gift certificates, but this year you want to give something special that dad will appreciate every day. Perhaps you have a student getting ready to graduate high school or college. You want to reward all of the years of hard effort with a gift that is rewarding, and perhaps a bit more fun.

Slacker has thought this through and they have the answer. They are even running a special in an effort to make your gift giving selection that much easier.

To celebrate the season of Dad’s and Grad’s, Slacker is offering a free custom carrying case with the purchase of any Slacker portable. The customized case makes protecting and carrying the Slacker Portable a breeze, and the case has a retail value of $29.99. Let that special person know you care by getting their favorite types of music stations pre-loaded onto the Slacker portable when you order. Preloading is a freebie that allows the recipient to begin jamming to their favorite tunes right out of the box.

A special station has even been created for the graduating Slackers. Graduation Party Radio is a specialized channel featuring tunes that are always popular at this time of year. As with all Slacker channels, your listening will customize the channel even further.

Father’s Day is this weekend, and graduation is fast approaching. Log into Slacker now, to order the gift of music.

The Slacker Portable Player is an addition that takes the Slacker lifestyle mobile. This nifty device puts Music YOU LIKE at your fingertips, and does it without the hassle of downloading and creating playlists. The Slacker portable allows for the discovery of new music, and the radio stations created give a new sense of adventure to your listening experience. Do you know all 200 songs on your MP3 player? Why not try a service that can combine your favorites with new music that you will also love? Why not try a device that brings all of this together in an easy to use format?

We got our hands on the 4GB Slacker Portable, and it not only made Slacker that much more appreciated, it also found its way into my car (via an auxiliary jack), and competes heavily for my listening ear.

The Slacker Portable is a godsend for audiophiles who want great music that suits their tastes without all of the hassle that some other services have. Up until now, Slacker was a service that I used in my home and on my PC at work. Those days are now gone, and my ears thank me every day.

If you love Slacker on your computer, the Slacker Portable Player is fast becoming a must have device, but beware….you will find yourself tempted to go ahead and sign up for the premium service! Unlimited skipping of songs, the ability to save songs, and no commercials now will have now have even more value with the addition of a Slacker Portable Player. At only $90 for a year, the added convenience of a premium account will have you jamming in no time. The price is right as well. $90 will get you the same 90 songs day after day on your i-Pod. With Slacker you can save those same songs and far more, all while being exposed to other music you like.
