Coined as the world’s first Personal Radio company, Slacker offers “Your Radio Everywhere” allowing music lovers to play highly personalized music online or on the go.
Slacker Mobile provides select smartphone users in the U.S. with a personalized music discovery and listening experience. It pulls from over 100 expert-programmed Slacker stations, over 10,000 artist stations and over 2.4 million songs! With so much music available, your custom-created station options are endless.
Some of the most popular features include “peek ahead”, fine tuning and banning. The peek ahead function allows you to see a preview of the next artist and album in the stations’ rotation. Fine Tuning let’s you “influence” the types of songs played by selecting specific artists, pop or fringe, new or classic and how often you’d like to hear your favorites. If there’s a song or artist you don’t like, you can “ban” them from your station.
You can even store your favorite stations on an SD Memory Card. While your station is playing, simply click on the menu button and choose “Cache Playing Station”. Once your music is cached to your Memory Card, you can play your stations without a network connection. This conserves your battery life by up to 5 times compared to streaming playback.
