Does this player pick up Slacker radio or other internet radio stations?

No, it doesn't It only picks up normal FM stereo stations, but not HD. I'm planning to buy a Samsung Galaxy 3 smartphone soon, so I may end up selling this. I'm generally happy with this Walkman. I do recommend buying the rubber case which you can get on Amazon.

No it does not. Just regular radio stations. I for one was disappointed with my Sony S544. I bought it because it was stated that it was one of the better MP3 players which had a long battery life. I find this to not be true at all. I was told I would get about 50+ hours and only get about 10-15. I have tested it several times playing it straight through from night until morning and when doing so have to re-charge it sometime the next day. I love everything else about it though and the battery life still seems to be better than many others.

This MP3 (Sony Walkman S-544 8 GB) does not pick up Slacker radio or other internet radio stations; as it does not contain Wi-Fi capabilities.

I will check. Don't listen to radio any more becausec of too many commercials. USB option does.

I can't say, because mine never worked (problems accessing wireless network). However, I had another internet radio (the Grace was supposed to replace it), and it could get stations that had old-time radio programming. It would also pick up WFUV (which streams its shows); there's a show on that on Sunday evenings, "The Big Broadcast", that has music from the 1920s and 1930s. Radio Riel (on the internet) also has that type of music on some of its channels.

Yes. just plug it in the lighter plug and set the tuner and radio to the clearest station. there is even a memory button so it will remember the station you like the best. you can scan for stations or go through each station manually.

I have used Itunes, Itrip and Pandora for music while using the Iradar app. All have worked well. I am not familiar with Radio 1, but if it is just a music interface t should not be a problem.

Yes. Just above the 'Play' button is a Locator/Intercom button.... Happy Hunting!

No, you cannot. The player does not have the capacity to perform any other function other than play music. There are no antennae or wifi capability to allow it to take any sort of calls.

I don't think so, the player has very little adaptability , no custom listening choices , its very limited

Only if the AM/FM radio station is streaming online. Many stations do these days.

It sure does. I listen to music stations from Poland, S. Korea, Russia, UK, etc...They used to have a quick station search feature right here on the Amazon product description but I don't see it any more.You can get an idea of what stations it can stream by creating a free www.MySqueezeBox.com account, then click on Remote Control > Internet Radio > Search (or select select World and browse that way). This will not play on your computer as this is meant to Remote Control via the web UI your actual player, but will help you see what is out there.

Yes but the thing never worked for me. Only the radio works. I recommend different player.

yes. However, I found this one to have a very weak signal. I have to turn up the radio almost to max and the mp3 player to max to be able to hear it at a reasonable audio level. , unlike my last one.

I only used the Internet radio which is free and it works great. I have used it on Zone 2.

As long as you know the URL for the MP3 format or the internet radio station, you can play those. You will need to register that URL through the "Lounge" (now called "Pure Connect"). Some of my favorites are the last news bulletin of certain radio stations. Pretty cool!

Seems like it will get most (but not all) tune in stations. Some exceptions are Iheart radio stations. There are some others that are blocked.
