![]() New to Slacker's arsenal and available to all users is a nifty feature called My Vibe, which helps you find the perfect playlist to match your mood or activity. Both subscription packages also come with lyrics for most songs. With a Slacker Premium subscription ($9.99/month), you'll get on-demand music listening so you can search for and listen to the exact songs and albums you want (similar to Spotify). With Slacker Radio Plus ($3.99 per month), you'll be able to save station caches for later listening even when offline. ![]() If you want to take advantage of playlist caching or music-on-demand features without ads, you'll need to sign up for a subscription. The ads can be a little annoying, with full 30-second commercial spots at the beginning of listening to a station. Much like Pandora, the free version of Slacker Radio is ad-supported and lets you search for a song and then create a station of similar music based on that song. A skip button is available for moving on to the next song, but you get limited skips per session (only six at the time of this review). You'll be able to fine-tune your station requirements while it plays as well as create custom stations. The controls to pause, skip, save, and remove an artist from your playlist are located at the bottom of the interface. While playing a track, Slacker lets you look at both album art as well as artist bios and album reviews (for most songs and artists).
