With the station caching, I can have it download playlists overnight and use it in my truck without the internet. This also helps save battery life and bandwidth. For the desktop, you can listen to it through their website, or there is a Windows app you can download, which is just a fancy wraparound for the website, but it works. Their track lists go pretty deep for me. If you listen to a pre-programmed station, they tend to play more mainstream songs, but you can also customize your own station.
For me, it does a pretty good job at the auto-discovery and has played songs that are similar to the ones I liked. For the free subscription, you can skip 6 songs per hour per station, or you can skip 12 songs per day, across all stations.
Also, with their free subscription, you can only listen to 40 hours of music per month. As you mentioned, I have used Pandora much more than Slacker but your opinions definitely make me consider purchasing a subscription. The caching feature alone just may be worth it. I would enjoy it more if I could cache my songs to my SD card, that would make me even happier.
After my 6 months of use a few of the channels began playing the same songs, mixtures of all genres. At first glance, the interface is overwhelming due to the multiple tabs and shortcut menus.
Once you take the time to create stations, which is very simple to do, all of your stations will be listed under the stations tab. The stations tab is probably the most important aspect of Pandora because it allows you to choose the station you want to listen to. It also gives you the option to select multiple stations and shuffle them together into one station. After a station is selected the user interface changes to a gradient hue of navy blue and displays cover art of the song as the song plays.
Slacker takes a totally different approach to its user interface. The homepage of Slacker has a mix between white and variations of gray triangles creating a high-resolution wallpaper background. The header and footer menus of the app are deep blacks that, when viewed against the wallpaper background, gives the application a beautiful and monochromatic design.
That combined with the creatively designed play, skip, and back icon buttons creates an ascetically appealing. The snappy transitions, intuitive menus, and crisp, rock-star like graphics allow Slacker to have a bit of swagger. Pandora, which is pegged as a music discovery app, takes a simplistic approach to music-streaming.
Pandora attempts to create an intimate music experience for you, based on the songs and artists that you love. What this does is allow you to listen to the artist you like and discover an artist that you might have never heard of but creates similar music.
The free version of Pandora is limited to 6 skips per hour and has ads and commercials throughout your listening experience. Upgrading to Pandora One , the subscription service, enables fewer interruptions and removes ads as well as other perks like more daily skips.
Slacker is a Discovery and On Demand service which, for the most part, is relatively unknown compared to other heavyweights in the streaming music category like Pandora, Spotify, and iHeartRadio. Although Slacker seeks to change that by giving you everything, including the kitchen sink. Slacker is a hands-on music experience for those seeking more control. The free version of Slacker is quite limited compared to what you can unlock with the paid versions.
The free version of Slacker allows you to search for your favorite artist, but only allows you to play similar titles, not the actual artist. Also in the free version you are limited to 6 skips per hour.
Much like what Pandora offers. You do have the ability to listen to curated playlist from genres, moods, seasons, etc. Although Slacker Plus and Premium boasts a music library of over 2. One more amazing feature is the ability to listen to entire albums and searching for song titles. Can ping google. Just letting you know you're not alone.
I listen on my PC, thru pandora. I went to the pandora community, and there is a thread in there, with a bunch of people complaining about it. I logged out and back in, and that fixed it for a few hours, but then it started up again.
Sorry I don't have any solutions, just commiserating - it definitely sucks. What are some alternatives?
