Looks really nice, but I wish they’d drop the “fave track” thing and change it for something like “+fav track”
Seems, in a graphical way, more appealing to me. ;p.

Slacker has nearly replaced my satellite radio. I still keep it for road trips since the data coverage would be spotty, but day to day, Slacker is what I play.

With Slacker their no reason to download music ever again! And YES, Slacker is better than Pandora because of the Slacker Plus option. Slacker Plus is less than a dollar a week and allows unlimited skips with no ads.

Well buddy, I don’t know if you’ve tried Slackers “cache” feature, but it’s exactly for that type of situation regarding low data coverage.
