I signed up for the upgrade music streaming service ( not free one). I paid for it through Apple pay. Apple pay uses a anonymous " do not track" ( for privacy) email for the Slacker account. When trying to sign on in my Tesla vehicle it did not accept log on due to the email I supplied generated by Apple. Slacker said the account wont work on my car, only on mobile devices because the anonymous email does not work in my car. Slacker does not accept refunds. They only do customer support by chat bot text and email. Not by a representative by phone. Slacker does not warn of this when signing up for service and paying for it through Apple. Slacker could ask for a email that would work ( change email on account) on their app in my car yet they wouldn't allow a change of email. There are many other choices of companies that do music streaming service. I don't recommend this company for music streaming and I have cancelled my account.

I like this site

I like this site.
Hate the comericals, but unlike Pandora, it gets that I don't like Cold Play.
Selection is different in comparison to other music streaming sites out there and it doesn't take up as much bandwidth.

I've been using Slacker for a few year. It has become my main source for listing to music. I also have the Slacker app on my phone and use the cached content to listen to music while riding my motorcycle out on country roads through a bluetooth helmet set up. I like that I can shape stations around my tastes. Slacker has helped me rediscover artist I had forgotten about and discover new artist I hadn't heard before.

I enjoy both slacker and pandora but for some reason I am enjoying slackers selection of music more recently. Anyone who uses pandora should at least give slacker a try and see if it comes up with a better selection of music.

Slacker is by far the best bargain in music, i have owned their portable for years and love it. The unit automaticly updates itself wirelessly molding the music to your specific taste and for free! Wicked cool.

Because I'm a big music fan, I find this site very good also. I can find my favorite songs which I listen in my phone while walking outside!

Good site, however would be nice to make it international for those of us who travel abroad regularly.
