2010-06-18
so I'm showing Slacker Radio on a blackberry these are all cash stations right now the BlackBerry is an airplane mode all of the radio antennas are all these are all personal stations that you can listen to interact with without any strip connections so you could be on a plane or on the subway or you're not even incurring any sort of cellular or data charges even while you're listening you can skip songs you can part songs advanced songs or even artists and when the app reconnects the cloud it's going to take all your preferences and convey those so maybe you go into work and you log into your slap their account on a Mac or PC on a web browser all of your stations all your preferences follow you around Slacker Radio has a music library that's about 4 times larger than the leading competitor we see here as you're listening you want to learn about an artist say you're you're listening to a Tom Petty track you want to learn about him you click here and then you can read a biography of the artist and read an album review written by AMG and you can also get song lyrics and this is all online this is all off line that's right I will slack the radio you can either create your station beta based on one artist you like or 100 artists you like where you can listen to over 100 johner base stations and all of our genre space stations are programmed by DJs all across the US and they're experts in their respective genre for instance there's a god Marco Collins the poor grooms are 90s all rock station he was the guy that that DJ in Seattle we broke bands like Nirvana Soundgarden would you be able to walk us through how the caching process works or how you would do that on the device short thing that you get Patrick to shrink that okay so well simply basically go dude you can do a couple of different locations actually let me show you online because since we're offline all I can see on the stations that have already saved on someone to my blackberry but if I want to be able to catch some stations let me actually do that from another phone is that okay yeah so here I've got a slacker slacker running on a blackberry bold and if you go to our main station this I can they see brows as Andrews mentioned any of our June 20 or so DJ stations and then I can do is I can go to any one of these days you know and then market that I can race it either the option button say patch station right here and it's gonna then tell me that I've got how many changes about cash how much space I have left and it's on the flag that station to be saved next time i refresh my stations okay so now I'll turn will be saved next to my device so I can do it there if I'm listening to a station listen listen to our NHS are in control station from the menu option all I can all have to do is hit option menu I can say cash station again it's gonna tell you how many stations you have cash how much space you have what you have left and I can mark that one for cash so now I've marked two new stations to be cashed in my device and then what I can do now is either if I have a tethered or connected to my PC via USB or connected to Wi-Fi or even over-the-air I can basically just click on that and say refresh my cache stations and what's going to do now is start refreshing my impression might buy my stations okay so I want to refresh process all say yes I do and so now it's going to start refreshing my stations over-the-air in this example because I don't have a Wi-Fi connection I don't I can to my PC it's gonna start to refresh if you have a few minutes in a hot spot or want to be able to do this on the road and certainly Canada thank you
