Take Slacker on the road this summer with our Slacker car listening giveaway!

Staying entertained during a (long) summer roadtrip can be a major hassle – if you rely on broadcast radio, you’ll be forced to find new stations every couple of hours, and if your tunes come from CD’s, you’ll need a large stash of them for the trip.

Thankfully there is a great alternative – with Slacker personal radio. With the latest version of Slacker on your Blackberry, iPhone or Android device, you can customize your own radio station, or pick from one of their own selections. And with the Slacker “cached radio” feature, music is downloaded and stored on your device, which means you can play music for hours without the need for a data connection.

Gadling has teamed up with Slacker to bring you a couple of great prizes – by entering our contest, you can win one of two Slacker car listening packages or one of six three month Slacker Radio Plus subscriptions.

In the car listening package, you get a high-power FM transmitter and a one year subscription to Slacker Radio Plus.

To enter, all you need to do is tell us your favorite road trip destination!

  • To enter, simply leave a comment answering the question posted above.
  • The comment must be left before Monday June 21 2010 at 5:00 PM Eastern Time.
  • You may enter only once.
  • Eight Prize Winners will be randomly selected to receive either one of two Slacker car listening kits (FM transmitter + 1 year Slacker Radio Plus subscription) or one of six three month Slacker Radio Plus subscriptions. (We’ll decide which prize goes to which winner.) A (free) Slacker account is required to enable the Radio Plus subscription.
  • Open to legal residents of the 50 United States, and the District of Columbia who are 18 and older.
  • The total value of each prize is approximately $87.87 (Car listening kit) or $15 (three month Radio Plus subscription).
