Slacker radio problems

In a previous post I slammed Tesla on the almost-there functionality of their USB music player so you might be expecting me to go off on a rant on their implementation of Slacker Internet Radio in the Model S, but you’d be wrong. Tesla got Slacker Internet Radio right in the Model S.Slacker Internet RadioBefore taking delivery of my Model S I had only heard about Slacker radio as a feature included with the Model S and even then I didn’t do any reading or research on it. I just figured it would either be useful or not, no big deal. I had low expectations. At the time I sort of thought it was going to be a bit like Pandora which I had used on and off in the past.ALSO SEE: Playing Music from a USB Drive in the Tesla Model SSlacker is one of two internet radio options included on every Tesla Model S. I’ll cover the other one, TuneIn, at some other time. Slacker Radio is music delivered over the internet via the 3G connection within every Model S. What’s great about the version of Slacker that comes equipped with the car is that it’s commercial-free.Slacker appears to have two paid versions available, and the one provided with the Model S seems to fall somewhere in the middle in terms of features:Full disclosure: this is my hack of a feature chart based on what I sawIt will be great if someday Tesla also added the lyrics and custom playlists options that Slacker is capable of.Slacker offers a number of playlists you can choose from that are specific to genres, popularity etc. I find the selection to be quite rich. With Slacker you can listen to unlimited ad-free music of your preference any time you want. But what if a song comes on that you don’t like?Slacker Controls on the Model SThe basic options to Pause/Play and Skip songs are all there, but what’s missing is a re-play or go back to the previous song button. You may be able to get to a previous song with music search (more on that later) but otherwise once played it’s gone.Two other options that I enjoy on Slacker are the “I like this song” and a “I hate this song” icon. This sends your preferences to the Slacker app, and in theory it should use this information to either play

AOL ended its partnership with CBS Radio and became partners with Slacker, moving AOL's 250 pre-programmed stations to the new service. Listeners also accessed news and sports updates from ABC News Radio and ESPN Radio respectively. This changeover, however, required iPhone/iOS users to update or download the new "AOL Radio" app when it became available. The app was also made available to Android users months later. This new format allowed users to customize their stations based on their favorite songs/artists and share them with their friends. It also allowed songs to be favorited or banned (rather than using an out-of-five rating system) and allowed songs/artists to be banned altogether. To rate and create customized stations, AOL users would have to sign up with Slacker.Though the service was free with limited song-skipping and fewer commercials, they offered two different subscription plans—Radio Plus and Premium Radio tiers, both of which offered ad-free radio and unlimited song-skipping and offline listening, with on-demand listening for the latter tier. In July 2013, AOL Radio updated the site's look to match that of its parent company Slacker Radio. AOL Radio was merged with Slacker Radio and discontinued on December 1, 2017. In the years that followed, Slacker was changed to "LiveXLive" and as of October 6, 2021, it was renamed LiveOne.On November 18, 2002, AOL introduced Broadband Radio@AOL.[4] Broadband Radio@AOL was built into the AOL 8.0 software, and was the first AOL Radio offering based on the AOL streaming technology Ultravox. By 2003, AOL had migrated

Learn MoreAOL said today it has partnered with digital music startup Slacker Radio to launch a new subscription-based music service later this summer.The free version of the new service will be based on Slacker’s current service. Like Slacker, the service will enable users to create tailored radio stations, save favorite songs and stations, read album reviews, access artist biographies, review station histories, and skip up to six songs per hour, per station.AOL’s premium music service will also be based on Slacker, which offers two paid subscription models: a “Radio Plus” service, which gives users unlimited song skips and cuts the ads for $3.99 per month and “Slacker Premium”, which gives users the ability to play any song in Slacker’s music library whenever they want for $9.99 per month.AOL previously had a paid music subscription service that it sold in 2007 to Napster. However, the partnership with Slacker is less about a premium option and more about building out the company’s advertising options.Under the terms of the partnership, Slacker will handle all advertising within the free AOL music service as well as ads for its own service. AOL meanwhile will focus on promotional advertising packages from other portions of its company.Initially, AOL plans to launch the service with an iPhone app, with iPad and Android apps to follow.AOL’s current radio app, AOL Radio, draws about 3 million unique monthly listeners that consume 30 million hours of music, according to AOL Music chief Jeff Bronikowski in a press release.via All Things Digital Daily insights on business use cases with VB Daily If you want to impress your boss, VB Daily has you covered.

September 20, 2024 By Karan Singh Slacker is the default music streaming service in Tesla vehicles in North America, but Tesla simply calls it “Streaming” in the vehicle. This name made more since when Slacker was the only music streaming service available in Tesla vehicles just a few years ago. However, since then, Tesla has added Spotify, Apple Music, TIDAL, YouTube Music, and even SiriusXM, which is coming soon.Slacker is owned by LiveXLive Media, which purchased Slacker Internet Radio in 2017. However, Slacker’s brand and name were renamed to LiveOne several years ago.Now, Tesla is making the move as well, and LiveOne will be just another music serivce available in the vehicle. With some Tesla factory builds, such as 2024.26.300, Tesla has replaced Slacker Radio with the LiveOne name and brand.LiveOne RadioLike Slacker, LiveOne Radio is free to use and the default music service in vehicles in North America. However, since Tesla includes a more basic version of the streaming service, you can log in with your paid LiveOne account to gain access to additional features.LiveOne offers a premium subscription for $3.33/mo or $39.99/year (USD). This subscription adds unlimited song skipping and improved audio quality, making it more similar to other music services.Slacker was only available in Teslas in North America, and we expect this to remain the same with LiveOne.Slacker Users For users who use and have an account with Slacker Radio, you should be able to log into LiveOne with your existing Slacker Radio account, without any major issues. Items like favorites, playlists, and anything else you’ve set up should port over. From what we’ve seen, the UI remains the same as well.It’s not clear when Tesla will transition to LiveOne Radio on other vehicle updates, but it’s possible Tesla is first transitioning new Tesla owners keeping the brand as “Streaming” for existing owners for now. This could avoid confusion for Slacker users who are searching for the orange Streaming icon and wondering why their music app is missing.We expect Tesla to eventually transition everyone to LiveOne Radio's updated name and logo, but it’s not clear when that will happen.

A Look at the Tesla Cybertruck’s Crumple Zones [VIDEO] March 14, 2025 By Karan Singh Tesla’s Cybertruck has officially earned a 5-Star Safety Rating from the NHTSA—an impressive achievement given the vehicle’s design. The achievement demonstrates Tesla’s engineering prowess. As one engineer points out, it wasn’t an easy feat.Interestingly, the NHTSA only recently disclosed the results, despite the crash tests being completed a while ago. According to Lars Moravy, Tesla’s VP of Vehicle Engineering, the team had been aware of the 5-star rating for quite some time. While the reason

It is good to be a BlackBerry user these days. Developers are embracing the platform and options exist today that didn't just a year ago. One of my favorite programs over these past few months has been Slacker Internet radio. Since I cancelled my satellite radio subscription, I have been using Slacker almost exclusively as a way to keep my music fresh and varied.A few weeks ago, Adam let us know that Pandora Internet Radio (which had long been a favorite when I would stream music from my PC or Mac) was now available for the BlackBerry. Sadly, being a T-Mobile subscriber this wasn't available for us...yet. Just last week, a new update made Pandora available for T-Mobile customers (and, I presume, most others) in the US.So, what do we do now? Which is the king of Internet radio for the BlackBerry? I did a full comparison and have my thoughts on the matter below.To give a fair comparison, I will divide this review into three sections; Setup and ease of use, Options and Interface and Musical Depth and Sound Quality. My BlackBerry for this review was the T-Mobile 8900.Setup and Ease of UseBoth Slacker and Pandora are available as OTA downloads from their respective web sites - www.slacker.com and www.pandora.com . Before you download either program, make your Slacker and Pandora accounts on your PC or Mac. Setting up accounts on both web sites from your computer is easy - you register with your email address and you choose a password. Each computer based web site gives you similar options - listen to pre-programmed stations in various musical Genres or "Create Stations" based on artists that you like. I am a huge fan of the latter approach - I have 8 or 9 stations based on very different artists. Each web site will then match similar artists to the one you choose as the "base" for that station. You will hear more of that particular artist's music than any other, but not so much that you get tired of it.OK, so now I have accounts at Pandora and Slacker and I go to both web sites from my BlackBerry and download the BlackBerry plug in. Slacker SetupSetup on Slacker went painlessly on my BlackBerry. I downloaded the software and then was prompted to restart my Blackberry - sort of a pain, but no big deal. Slacker asked me if I had an account, I input my email and password and then all my favorite stations from my Computer account showed up (with album art) on the BlackBerry.Slacker installed on my BlackBerry Curve 8900Pandora SetupSetting up Pandora on the BlackBerry was just as painless. The Pandora Web site recognized my BlackBerry, I download the software OTA and I was set to go. Just like Slacker, I input my email address and password and all my favorite stations showed up. Unlike Slacker, however, I did not have album art for my "Favorites," just a list of stations.Pandora installed on my BlackBerry
