Learn MoreAOL said today it has partnered with digital music startup Slacker Radio to launch a new subscription-based music service later this summer.The free version of the new service will be based on Slacker’s current service. Like Slacker, the service will enable users to create tailored radio stations, save favorite songs and stations, read album reviews, access artist biographies, review station histories, and skip up to six songs per hour, per station.AOL’s premium music service will also be based on Slacker, which offers two paid subscription models: a “Radio Plus” service, which gives users unlimited song skips and cuts the ads for $3.99 per month and “Slacker Premium”, which gives users the ability to play any song in Slacker’s music library whenever they want for $9.99 per month.AOL previously had a paid music subscription service that it sold in 2007 to Napster. However, the partnership with Slacker is less about a premium option and more about building out the company’s advertising options.Under the terms of the partnership, Slacker will handle all advertising within the free AOL music service as well as ads for its own service. AOL meanwhile will focus on promotional advertising packages from other portions of its company.Initially, AOL plans to launch the service with an iPhone app, with iPad and Android apps to follow.AOL’s current radio app, AOL Radio, draws about 3 million unique monthly listeners that consume 30 million hours of music, according to AOL Music chief Jeff Bronikowski in a press release.via All Things Digital Daily insights on business use cases with VB Daily If you want to impress your boss, VB Daily has you covered.

AOL ended its partnership with CBS Radio and became partners with Slacker, moving AOL's 250 pre-programmed stations to the new service. Listeners also accessed news and sports updates from ABC News Radio and ESPN Radio respectively. This changeover, however, required iPhone/iOS users to update or download the new "AOL Radio" app when it became available. The app was also made available to Android users months later. This new format allowed users to customize their stations based on their favorite songs/artists and share them with their friends. It also allowed songs to be favorited or banned (rather than using an out-of-five rating system) and allowed songs/artists to be banned altogether. To rate and create customized stations, AOL users would have to sign up with Slacker.Though the service was free with limited song-skipping and fewer commercials, they offered two different subscription plans—Radio Plus and Premium Radio tiers, both of which offered ad-free radio and unlimited song-skipping and offline listening, with on-demand listening for the latter tier. In July 2013, AOL Radio updated the site's look to match that of its parent company Slacker Radio. AOL Radio was merged with Slacker Radio and discontinued on December 1, 2017. In the years that followed, Slacker was changed to "LiveXLive" and as of October 6, 2021, it was renamed LiveOne.On November 18, 2002, AOL introduced Broadband Radio@AOL.[4] Broadband Radio@AOL was built into the AOL 8.0 software, and was the first AOL Radio offering based on the AOL streaming technology Ultravox. By 2003, AOL had migrated

My MacBook using the digital audio output to a high quality stereo. There was no high pitch scratching here - so I think that must have been a Wi-Fi Issue with my BlackBerry. However, Pandora still sounded better - it seems as though they are using a higher quality feed than Slacker.* UPDATE: It is really amazing how CrackBerry has the eyes and ears of the BlackBerry world. A Slacker rep contacted me this morning after this article was published to make an important point; the sound issues I heard on my 8900 were real -= but they are issues with the 8900 OS, not the Slacker program. He suggested that is we do a sound comparison using a Bold, the sound quality of Slacker should be much improved. **Overall ConclusionsThe good news for BlackBerry users is that we really don't have to choose- we can have both. Slacker and Pandora really advance the Streaming Internet Radio options and mean that we can have great quality and fresh musical choices wherever we are.Slacker wins with regards to in program options - I like looking up the artist history and I love all the stations I can just scroll through.Slacker also wins with regards to caching music - this is an amazing feature and means that you can really be free from iTunes and other programs and you can just cache your favorite stations for great musical variety. The other huge advantage is that both these programs are memory and resource intensive. If you are not in a Wi-Fi zone or on 3G - forget it. I was able to use both on EDGE, but, eventually, both crapped out. Pandora is the winner, however, in the very important category of Sound Quality. I can't speak as to why that is, but, for me, it was consistently cleaner and crisper with fuller bass and no noise.I would recommend that you try them both and see which works for you. I keep both on my BlackBerry and now use them all the time. It is a great time to be a BlackBerry lover! Read more Rock and Roll all summer long with a free subscription to Slacker Premium Radio!

September 20, 2024 By Karan Singh Slacker is the default music streaming service in Tesla vehicles in North America, but Tesla simply calls it “Streaming” in the vehicle. This name made more since when Slacker was the only music streaming service available in Tesla vehicles just a few years ago. However, since then, Tesla has added Spotify, Apple Music, TIDAL, YouTube Music, and even SiriusXM, which is coming soon.Slacker is owned by LiveXLive Media, which purchased Slacker Internet Radio in 2017. However, Slacker’s brand and name were renamed to LiveOne several years ago.Now, Tesla is making the move as well, and LiveOne will be just another music serivce available in the vehicle. With some Tesla factory builds, such as 2024.26.300, Tesla has replaced Slacker Radio with the LiveOne name and brand.LiveOne RadioLike Slacker, LiveOne Radio is free to use and the default music service in vehicles in North America. However, since Tesla includes a more basic version of the streaming service, you can log in with your paid LiveOne account to gain access to additional features.LiveOne offers a premium subscription for $3.33/mo or $39.99/year (USD). This subscription adds unlimited song skipping and improved audio quality, making it more similar to other music services.Slacker was only available in Teslas in North America, and we expect this to remain the same with LiveOne.Slacker Users For users who use and have an account with Slacker Radio, you should be able to log into LiveOne with your existing Slacker Radio account, without any major issues. Items like favorites, playlists, and anything else you’ve set up should port over. From what we’ve seen, the UI remains the same as well.It’s not clear when Tesla will transition to LiveOne Radio on other vehicle updates, but it’s possible Tesla is first transitioning new Tesla owners keeping the brand as “Streaming” for existing owners for now. This could avoid confusion for Slacker users who are searching for the orange Streaming icon and wondering why their music app is missing.We expect Tesla to eventually transition everyone to LiveOne Radio's updated name and logo, but it’s not clear when that will happen. Thanks to our reader, Jordan, for reporting this. A Look at the Tesla Cybertruck’s Crumple Zones [VIDEO] March 14, 2025 By Karan Singh Tesla’s Cybertruck has officially earned a 5-Star Safety Rating from the NHTSA—an impressive achievement given the vehicle’s design. The achievement demonstrates Tesla’s engineering prowess. As one engineer points out, it wasn’t an easy feat.Interestingly, the NHTSA only recently disclosed the results, despite the crash tests being completed a while ago. According to Lars Moravy, Tesla’s VP of Vehicle Engineering, the team had been aware of the 5-star rating for quite some time. While the reason
