Slacker Radio

I've been most pleased with their broad music base. They have most anything including Classical, Broadway, and Oldies, even Comedy. And within each genre they offer specifics like 90s glam, 80s punk, vintage country etc. I have even found talk radio and classic radio shows like Burns n Allen. No comments or suggestions for improvement at this time.

I prefer Slacker to any other streaming service. It works wonderfully with my Chromecast Audio that streams the service from my laptop to my Yamaha home theater system. I use the free service and don't mind the ads because there are not many of them. The hourly news updates are great and it's much easier to use than Pandora or Spotify. It has so much music that if you can't find something you like on Slacker you have no business listening to music.

Wow!! Yet another glaring false statement about Slacker Radio! You absolutely CAN block offensive lyrics/ language and you can block dirty song versions forever, should you choose to. There's a parental or vulgar language screening tool and you can also simply if there are no radio friendly versions of a particular song, which I have never found to be the case, because any artist worth their salt will always have a radio friendly version, especially amongst the harder types of music like rock , punk, hip-hop , Rap and even R&B in some cases. YOU will always see a radio friendly version songs of vulgarity or a way to Simply Ban that song from Ever playing again should you have kids in the car or if you are a Rideshare driver who doesn't want to risk offending a potential customer and getting a bad review. So whoever's writing these reviews of Slacker, I have a feeling you are a non-objective critic and you're trying to push business away from Slacker & towards other services like Pandora! Whom they seem to really really like and are giving glowing reviews to! That's bad form Foul Play and just plain effed-up you cheater you!!

I bounced around in the early days of music streaming but I kept coming back to Slacker because of the radio feel and the music I was getting fed. It seemed like they got my listening taste and kept it up. They need to get their licensing on some bands.

I have been using slacker for 5 +- years I love it. I have a 1100 song playlist that I love to listen to. When the mood hits me I can easily switch to anything I am in the mood for from Sinatra’s hits to snoop dog. Without being forced to listen to things that don’t match the genre that I have chosen. I don’t even listen to FM anymore

Up until a year ago Slacker was a good fit for offline use providing the ability to build your own customized station and play on a device they sold or on any smartphone, tablet or computer for just under $50/year. Wow, has that changed. As of the middle of last year they no longer support the device they sold. As of 12/31/17, they now require a premium plan for offline use at a cost of $9.99/month. No refunds on existing plans, but they did extend your subscription for streaming music, if you stream.....I don't. Guess the sale in 9/17 prompted what they call positive changes. Not positive for me. Goodbye Slacker, you can keep the 5 months left on my subscription and the 2 months you extended it. I am cancelling it now and going to a more reasonably priced alternative after 7 years.

When AOL did the switch on the first of the month we lost all of our programming and stations. Now they have removed the link to the page to cancel your account. You have to call your card services rep to remove them from further billings.

I've been a customer for over 4 years. My playlist was deleted or some how vanished last week, woke up this morning and all my other playlists were gone as well. They haven't even so much as answered my email..

I really like the curated stations, and the addition of news updates and a DJ gives it a real radio like feel.

this is the best love my parents radio
