Slacker: Ad-Supported Music Streaming

Discover millions of songs and curated stations on Slacker, a free music streaming service available on mobile and desktop, with upgraded plans offering offline listening capabilities

What is Slacker?

Slacker is an online music streaming service launched in 2007. It provides users access to a catalog of millions of songs from major and independent record labels.

For free users, Slacker is supported by periodic audio and display advertisements. Free users can create stations based on artists, songs, or genres, but cannot pick specific tracks to play on-demand. Slacker also curates expert-programmed genre stations for free listeners.

Paid and trial subscribers have access to an ad-free experience with unlimited skips and the ability to save playlists and stations for offline listening. Paid plans provide full on-demand access to Slacker's music catalog at higher audio quality than the free tier.

Unique features of Slacker include a home screen with frequently updated music news and customized station recommendations for registered users. The service also integrates with third-party services like Facebook to enable sharing songs and discovering friends' listening activity.

Slacker is available as a web player, desktop application, and mobile app for all major platforms including iOS and Android. It competes primarily with services like Spotify, Pandora, and Apple Music in the music streaming space.
