My 50-year-old mother loves YouTube for its ability to display full music videos from hair bands like Guns N’ Roses.
My 60-year-old parents in law, both of whom were formerly allergic to computers, listen to Pandora on the iPad I forced upon them as a Christmas gift. I was right, only, I hadn’t yet realized how profound of an inclusion this was for me. Like him, I was unfamiliar with Slacker before ordering the car, and assumed it would be like other internet radio services. explains the inclusion of Slacker Radio in the Tesla’s entertainment system. Still, if you want a new streaming-radio option, Slacker is a great choice.In this great write up, Rob M. Though the upgraded services are good, the price might be the most difficult thing to swallow for most users.
Slacker Radio is a solid choice for streaming music with an enormous music library, and even with just the free app, you can create and listen to radio stations of your favorite genres of music. But still, the feature is nice addition to Slacker's fast-growing tool belt. So far, My Vibe seems to have fewer playlist suggestions than Songza. For instance, as I write this, I'm listening to a playlist that was suggested for someone who is working in the office on a Friday afternoon. From there, it gives you a menu of options that may or may not match your activity or mood. Similar to Songza, My Vibe starts by offering you a few suggestions based on the current day and time. New to Slacker's arsenal and available to all users is a nifty feature called My Vibe, which helps you find the perfect playlist to match your mood or activity. Both subscription packages also come with lyrics for most songs. With a Slacker Premium subscription ($9.99/month), you'll get on-demand music listening so you can search for and listen to the exact songs and albums you want (similar to Spotify). With Slacker Radio Plus ($3.99 per month), you'll be able to save station caches for later listening even when offline.
If you want to take advantage of playlist caching or music-on-demand features without ads, you'll need to sign up for a subscription. The ads can be a little annoying, with full 30-second commercial spots at the beginning of listening to a station. Much like Pandora, the free version of Slacker Radio is ad-supported and lets you search for a song and then create a station of similar music based on that song. A skip button is available for moving on to the next song, but you get limited skips per session (only six at the time of this review). You'll be able to fine-tune your station requirements while it plays as well as create custom stations. The controls to pause, skip, save, and remove an artist from your playlist are located at the bottom of the interface.
While playing a track, Slacker lets you look at both album art as well as artist bios and album reviews (for most songs and artists).
