Features:

Slacker Radio Android App streams high quality music to your Android phone with predefined stations you can listen to or create your own. An awesome Pro feature is Station Cache; download an entire station to SD card in the background and listen later without any Internet or data connection (for Android 2+ phones). Like Last.fm Personal Radio and Pandora Radio similar artists or genres stream on a station; also there are unlimited skips of songs (up to 6 with free version) and no commercials with the Plus version. Most songs have album art, reviews and bios, add stations to Favorites, and send stations to a friends.

    Love the app. Use it daily.

    The app is great. Station caching makes it more versatile than competing apps.

  3. Trinition says:

    But how is it compared to last.fm and Pandora (the other two I hear a lot about)/

  4. mendy says:

    what are the advantages (if any) over pandora?

  5. slayerboy says:

    The range of artists is much better on Slacker vs Pandora. The tracks go deeper into some albums too from what I’ve seen. I like Slacker MUCH better than Pandora. Pandora and Last.FM are great for finding similar artists to a particular artist or sub-genre of music your looking for, but overall, I think Slacker is better for general music listening.

    Also, I don’t think the cache is 2.0+ only, I have the Samsung Moment (which is 1.5?) and have the option for the cache. Not sure if it’s the cache or the quality of service that Slacker has, but I can travel all over the place with Slacker in my truck and almost never miss a beat. Can’t say the same for Pandora or Last.FM apps on Android while traveling with spotty signals.
