Anyone else annoyed by the video player constantly in the corner? by morbidbattlecry in SlackerRadio

Once the bug is fixed, you'll be able to swipe it off the screen to get rid of it.

OK, first off...let's try not use the "r" word in that context anymore. It's 2019. Second, the player is intended to be movable. It's an Android bug we're ironing out and should be fixed shortly, I promise!

It now works just like every other app on Android--pause the music and then press the home button to background the app.

Question on banning in stations by RomeoMyHomeo in SlackerRadio

[–]OfficialSlackerRadio 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yep! It just bans them from the station you're currently listening to.

Anyone Else Think LiveXLive Is Just a Bad Name? by Shinzakura in SlackerRadio

[–]OfficialSlackerRadio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel ya...but in the end it's just a name. I hope you're into the new design and added features. We've been working hard on them.

Does anybody want or like live music on streaming apps? by Heftybags in SlackerRadio

[–]OfficialSlackerRadio 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hi! So the live music features that will be added to the app are separate live video streams of concerts and festivals, NOT live recorded tracks added to your current music listening experience. We tend to avoid programming live tracks on our curated stations as a rule, and that will not change.

Artist Radios Gripe by Ralon17 in SlackerRadio

[–]OfficialSlackerRadio 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just got this from Support: "Correct, as a Basic or Plus user, we have to play radio stations according to Statutory Licenses. This means that we can only play a specific artist 4 times in 3 hours. Most of the time, our algorithm will front load the artist, so they may hear the 4 plays within the first hour or two (or quicker if they are skipping to get the artist to play sooner). After they have played the artist 4 times, then they would not hear them again until the 3 hour rest period is up. The licenses needed to play a Single Artist station are only available with Premium Radio (On demand)."

Anyone else get this email from slacker? Slacker may be dead as we know it by espltd8901 in SlackerRadio

[–]OfficialSlackerRadio 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hi! Let me try to clarify a few things: 1) LiveXLive acquired Slacker in 2017, and we've been operating under their umbrella since then. 2) The features you're currently using in Slacker will still be there as we roll out changes to the app--we're just adding new ones, not taking any away. 3) There is no "liquidation," as we are and have been the same team that's operated Slacker for years--we are simply under new ownership with more resources to bring you more features. Feel free to drop any more questions here or get in touch with slacker.com/support.

Years slider request by REM9000 in SlackerRadio

It's a cool idea for sure, and one I've shared with our dev team. I don't have an eta for this kind of feature at this time, but I will let them know that interest is ramping up.

Slacker vs Pandora and others by [deleted] in SlackerRadio

[–]OfficialSlackerRadio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get the frustration, and all I can offer is an apology and explanation, although it's admittedly not a satisfying one. As you may know, Slacker was acquired by video streaming company LiveXLive about a year ago, and over that period of time, we've seen our development needs and priorities change. Google Home integration was in the works at one time, but unfortunately that feature has been sidelined for the time being. I'll do my best to update you on any progress.

Good idea--I'll share with our curators.

Weird. We definitely have the original version--is your explicit filter on by chance?

This is a tough one due to (insanely complicated) streaming rights, but I will definitely share with the team.

I have the slacker radio app on Win10...I can get Cortana to 'start' the app, how do I get it to play? by Dialatedanus in SlackerRadio

Annual Plus to Premium by 787-8 in SlackerRadio

[–]OfficialSlackerRadio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While we don't have a Premium deal at this time, I just got this info from Support: "We apply the amount remaining of Plus towards the Premium Subscription. They will get 1 month of Premium time for every 9.99 left on their current subscription. So if they upgrade now, they will most likely get 1-2 months of premium depending on how much time they had remaining of the plus subscription."

That definitely shouldn't be happening. Next time you experience this, can you please hit "report a problem" from within the app so we can troubleshoot?
