Slacker provides a three part music personalization suite, which includes an internet radio, desktop music player and portable music device.
The Slacker Web Player plays songs depending on what you like or dislike. Slacker does not allow users to choose specific songs upon request; instead, it will play songs depending on the user’s voting history. Ideally, the personalized station will become more and more refined to the user’s music preferences. This basic service is free and ad-supported.
The Slacker Desktop Radio plays and organizes the music on your computer, as well as chooses tracks from the internet service. For an extra $7.50 per month, users will be able to save songs they hear from the internet radio onto the computer.
Slacker also plans to release a wi-fi enabled portable music player. The device will be synchronized with the computer software. In addition, a satellite car kit is also in the plans.
