Yes, I am asking about updating stations both initially to get started and after that. I read several reviews which stated it took forever. But maybe they were using public hotspots. Since I don't have access to personal WiFi I would be using public WiFi and I guess the connections vary by where you are.

It kind of defeats the purpose to have to depend on a USB connection to update if you're buying a wireless player so that's why I wanted to know.

See the GizModo review and you'll see what I'm talking about:

The other issue with the original player was that there were issues when updating via USB for Vista users but I don't know if that has been resolved.

Thanks again.

Diane G, I was referring to the downloading of songs from Slacker, not my own music. I assumed that the songs would be downloaded to the g2 player when a wifi connection was detected. If you have to be in contact with a wifi connection for the g2 player to play songs from Slacker than the viability of this device is very limited.
