It worked by you rating songs, artists, genres etc and then it would play you stuff based on that select and that others whom liked your choices had chosen. It had no commercials, no DJ's, unlimited skipping and scalable ratings - was brilliant and worked really really well. Naturally Yahoo killed it off the other day and replaced it with CBS Radio - which is not customisable, has lots of adverts and very limited skipping - Basically, it is rubbish - don't even bother with it. Now I use Jango (www.jango.com) - which has a slightly annoying 'social network' side to it (I loathe facebook so social networking is not my thing) but you can ignore most of that without bother. So far has proven to be a good subsitiute. Jango is fully customisable, free, no commercials, unlimited skipping, plays in any browser, has a broad and varied music library - I found most of the stuff I was interested in, and (so far) has been painless and fun to use. For portable music, I still love my iPod - not the best quality audio reproduction around, but for sheer ease of use nothing comes close. my 2 cents Cheers Darryl -----Original Message----- From: accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com]On Behalf Of jwcolby Sent: Thursday, 5 March 2009 6:28 AM To: Access Developers discussion and problem solving Subject: [AccessD] OT: Slacker radio A friend of mine just told me about Slacker internet radio. I have started playing with it and kinda like it. They have a pretty expensive "mp3 player" called G2 which allows you to send songs to the G2 that you hear while listening on the "radio" to the MP3 and then play them away from your desk. Does anyone out there use Slacker and / or the G2 player? Comments? -- John W.
