Cool (and FREE) Internet Radio – Slacker.com!
By
I’m always on the lookout for new internet radio sites. I’ve blogged about Lala (not a fav of mine anymore) and I’ve tried Music Of Your Life (good music, too many commercials).
Last week, I heard on a Leo Laporte podcast about Slacker (yeah – weird name). I went to check it out and I like it a lot! They have only a few 20-30 second commercials every hour – very painless. If you don’t want to hassle with registering, just click on one of the genre buttons and you’re off and running. Here’s a snapshot of what’s available:
You can also choose to build an account and structure a radio station to your liking. There’s even a little heart-shaped button you can click on when you hear a song or artist you really like and they will play more of that artist!
Something unique about this service is a player you can purchase (for $200) that can be pre-loaded with the music you want and then it’s portable!
Give Slacker a try!
Nice post. Thanx
