Setup on Slacker went painlessly on my BlackBerry. OK, so now I have accounts at Pandora and Slacker and I go to both web sites from my BlackBerry and download the BlackBerry plug in. You will hear more of that particular artist's music than any other, but not so much that you get tired of it. Each web site will then match similar artists to the one you choose as the 'base' for that station. I am a huge fan of the latter approach - I have 8 or 9 stations based on very different artists. Setting up accounts on both web sites from your computer is easy - you register with your email address and you choose a password.Įach computer based web site gives you similar options - listen to pre-programmed stations in various musical Genres or 'Create Stations' based on artists that you like.

Before you download either program, make your Slacker and Pandora accounts on your PC or Mac. My BlackBerry for this review was the T-Mobile 8900.īoth Slacker and Pandora are available as OTA downloads from their respective web sites - and. To give a fair comparison, I will divide this review into three sections Setup and ease of use, Options and Interface and Musical Depth and Sound Quality.
