Slacker Radio

[styckx]

Anyone else using Slacker or own one of their portables? Slacker was pretty much the deathblow to my XM sub. Used their online service for a bit, broke down and bought a Slacker G2, and yeah, c-ya XM.

What's your experience been with it and how are you using it? Iphone, Blackberry, online only?

This app owns on my iPhone.. Took pandora's place on my phone. If it wasn't for R&f I would cancel Xm

I use it mostly on my workstation on the job, but I've used the bberry app a lot more than I used the XM app. the sound quality (and content) blow away anything XM does on either platform.

styckx have you been happy with this radio? I read an article linked on another thread here and I am thinking this may be just the player for me. Does it work as well as it's sales pitch promises?

And I am curious as well if anyone else is using one of these in addition to or instead of an xm unit.

Pandora...iPhone...listening bliss.

In the last month, I've bought two Logitech Squeezeboxes - one a boombox and the Duet which hooks up to your home stereo. It comes pre-loaded with Pandora, Last.FM, Slacker, tons of internet stations, and if you have subscriptions you can also use it for Rhapsody, MP3Locker, Sirius, and so much more. Plus, you can use it to play the library that's housed on your computer. I'm going to do a full writeup on it in the next few days.

Please do, I would love to read it. I have never owned an xm unit, my ridgeline was xm equipped and I mostly listen online. I really want a portable unit and since I have no confidence in sirixm as a company I want to check all the alternatives that are out there. Pandora is great as well.
Thanks Paul
