Slacker, saved on smartphone – sings songs seamlessly

The new Slacker 2.0 app for Android is out and it looks amazing. The 2.0 version has added caching of stations to allow Slacker Plus users to play their music, even if no signal is present. Typically, music streaming sites, like Slacker and Pandora, require a data signal to stream. Slacker 2.0 app is changing all that.

“Android users can now enjoy their music anywhere they go with our personalized and feature-packed Slacker Radio for Android 2.0,” said Jonathan Sasse, senior vice president of marketing at Slacker. “The benefits of the new station caching feature enable listeners to travel far beyond Wi-Fi or mobile connections to enjoy a continuous and unrivaled music experience.”

Slacker says they’ve paid special attention to battery life and report minimal drain while listening from cached music. The cached music can be set to be automatically refreshed so users don’t need to be constantly thinking about it.

Users in gyms and those that roam out of coverage are going to find this app along with the Slacker Plus subscription ($3.99 per month) to be well worth the effort.
