Slacker Radio Has Fixed Accessibility!
At long last, Slacker Radio appears to be as blind user-friendly on the iPhone as it was about a year ago. If fellow Slacker users also find this to be true, please, please take the time to thank Slacker.

Re: Slacker Radio Has Fixed Accessibility!
What, yet another radio app? What advantages does it offer? Sent from my Mac, the only computer with full accessibility for the blind built-in!

Re: Slacker Radio Has Fixed Accessibility!
You can download your favorite stations when you cannot, or do not wish, to stream, and the Radio Plus and Premium versions, (paid), allow you to skip songs at will, and in the latter case, compile your own personal stations or have stations devoted to a particular artist or group only. I might be missing something, but of all the radio apps I have tried, it is my hands-down favorite, and I have been after them for months to fix their accessibility issues, which had been broken for about a year after initial complete accessibility.

Re: Slacker Radio Has Fixed Accessibility!
Finally. They have, in fact fixed accessibility. The price for slacker plus is $3 a month. Which is a lot cheaper than any of the other music services.

Re: Slacker Radio Has Fixed Accessibility!
I am so very grateful slacker has been fixed. I actually have their phone number having looked it up through my Yellow Pages app. I've spoken to them on occasion with reference to accessibility and/or account issues that I could not access via the app or my computer per their accessibility problems. I have been a paid member for about a year and a half. That radio app hands-down has got to be one of the best I've ever seen.

Re: Slacker Radio Has Fixed Accessibility!
Yes, yes, yes! I am so happy accessibility has been restored and I have been happily listening to my favorite music without sighted assistance the last few days and I even discovered some new stations i was unaware of. One thing that I do love about Slacker is that they really do have excellent stations that they have created and some of them even have a host/DJ for the station. It's a great mix of options for my listening pleasure. I feel like i get Pandora and Spotify all in one. :) I love how when you create a station you can customize it to play more newer music or more or less of your favorites. I also love the favorites smash up station where it plays all of the music I have hearted wich is great when I am in an eclectic mood and can't figure out what I am in the mood for. I love that I can ban songs or even an artist. I love being able to ban an artist. :) I could just go on and on about all the great uses for slacker. I pay for the premium membership and it is totally worth it to me. I just committed to not purchasing any albums since I don't really need to. :) I agree with Christine that we should express our appreciation to the Slacker Radio team. :) I plan on doing so. Pam, what is their number in case I want to call them? I was thinking about sending them a message but I wasn't sure since the method of doing so on the iPhone is for letting them know about technical problems. :) Christina On Feb 1, 2014, at 6:39 PM, Pamela Francis ppowell...@aol.com wrote: I am so very grateful slacker has been fixed.
