Slacker Radio

Conceptually, Slacker is very similar to Pandora. You build stations around your favorite
artists or choose from hundreds of existing stations for your listening pleasure. Slacker
seems to have a few more pre-programmed stations than Pandora and has a cache
feature that allows you to stream music to your computer then download the music to
your BlackBerry media card. This allows you to listen to music without needing an
internet c onnection---- - perfect for a long airplane trip or whenever you are out of radio
coverage for a while.
Like Pandora, you can listen to Slacker Radio on your PC and Mac as well as your
BlackBerry.
Download and Install Slacker Radio
As you did with Pandora, you have two
options for downloading Slacker Radio.
You can find Slacker in the BlackBerry
App World, or you can also go to their
website at www.slacker.com and
download the latest build for BlackBerry.
Follow the on screen instructions for
download and installation. Accept the
license agreement and you will be
Slacking in no time!
Create or Log In to Slacker Account
As with Pandora, your first screen will ask
if you have an existing Slacker Account or
if you wish to create one. Either log in or
create a new account by clicking the
button at the bottom of the screen. As
with Pandora, you can have Slacker
running on your computer also!
