I recently bought a slacker radio last night and i charged it up, downloaded everything from the slacker website but i have a question. How do i refresh the radio it said the subscription expired 19 days ago.

You can refresh your stations by USB or by Wifi. Which ever works for you. I do mine by Wifi.

im using the usb. How long does it take to download because im trying to find the progress bar.

How long should i leave in the usb because im new to slacker

Other users have reported the initial load of your music to take a very long time. Like well over 1 hour - maybe even 2 plus. Future refreshes after the initial time are much faster.

It all depends on how many channels you've selected to add to the Slacker G2 initially. But I can tell you that once you do this future updates are much, much shorter.

I've never done by via the USB, so I am not sure if it has an indicator like the Wifi version does. But it will show you the status of each channel as it updates. Does anyone know if it also does this when refreshing via USB?

Apparently they are waiting on Apple to approve it.

The status screen is the same using USB as it is using WiFi. I've updated my Slacker using both methods and I haven't noticed a difference in the time it takes to update.
