==Classical music== |
|
|
I heard that it is very difficult to create a meaningful classical station or stations. Something about multiple performances of the same music by multiple artists or symphonies. I like classical too. I will be happy when they get around to programming some. I know from a feedback email that they are working on it. But did not disclose when.] 22:15, 11 August 2007 (UTC) |

I propose merging ] into ]. I think the content in PodcastOne can easily be explained in the context of LiveXLive, and I don't believe that PodcastOne meets the requirements of ] because news coverage of the company consists entirely of ] events, ] press releases, and ]. ] includes "simple listings or compilations, such as: ... of employees, officers, directors, owners, or shareholders ... of product or service offerings" as well as "standard notices, brief announcements, and routine coverage, such as: ... of the hiring, promotion, or departure of personnel, ... of the expansions, acquisitions, mergers, sale, or closure of the business, ... of a capital transaction, such as raised capital." ] (]) 14:34, 25 March 2022 (UTC) |

== One step short of blowing it up == |
|
Did anyone ever explain WHY there's no classical music available on slacker? I was loving the site until I made a station of just classical artists- and it wouldn't play. Why would they have those artists available? It's just odd. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The article was a mash up of content about Slacker, LiveXLive, and PodcastOne. Slacker should have a standalone article; it predated LiveXLive by 10 years, and it's historically significant. Obviously the article can be expanded but for now it is at least factually accurate. ] (]) 00:02, 31 July 2023 (UTC) |

I agree that the classical music support on Slacker sucks, but in a sense it's similar to that of Last.fm. The problem with classical is that it's very different from non-classical music in that with non-classical the performer is who matters, whereas classical the performers do not matter as much as what/who they are performing. In a general sense, you don't care whether the London Philharmonic or the Montreal Symphonic Orchestra are performing some Mozart, just that it's Mozart. For non-classical, if Eric Clapton is performing a cover of Cocaine by J. J. Cale, you don't care that it was written by J. J. Cale, you want to listen to Eric Clapton. It is these fundamental differences in the way these types of music are handled that cause so many headaches for music services such as Slacker and Last.fm. ] (]) 17:00, 22 August 2010 (UTC) |

Does this article meet he guidelines? I read everything more carefully this time so hopefully I got it right. I am open to any suggestions of course since I am new using WikiPedia. Yup a n00b! |

==Sound quality== |
|
|
Any idea what the actual sound quality is on either the browser player or the portable? I've been using the browser player for a week or so and am wondering if I should just stick with radio over iTunes (i.e. live365) or with the slacker player. The device is very tempting, but the stats on the slacker.com Website pretty much suck. ] (]) <small>—Preceding ] was added at 17:56, 6 December 2007 (UTC)</small><!--Template:Undated--> <!--Autosigned by SineBot--> |

Can you be more specific please. So someone can attempt to fix the "prose" I personally don't see that but with a little guidance maybe I or some else can. ] (]) 18:56, 15 January 2008 (UTC) |

:It simply reads like promotional copy that you would find in a sales flyer, not an encyclopaedia. The boldface is mine, to indicate precisely some of the problematic prose. |

== Suggestions for the page == |
|
|
|
|
|
Slacker has recently released a new portable player called "Slacker G2" a more streamlined device than the earlier version shown. <span style="font-size: smaller;" class="autosigned">—Preceding ] comment added by ] (]) 02:48, 20 September 2008 (UTC)</span><!-- Template:UnsignedIP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot--> |

|
|
|
|
Should we add something in the article saying that the artist profiles and album reviews come from allmusic.com? |
|
|
|
|
|
We could also mention something about the dj's that program the stations. forums.slacker.com mentions most if not all of them. And that site seems to be official, so maybe that could be a reference, but only taking content written by the staff? |
|
|
|
|
|
But overall, the page needs to be expanded immensely, I mean if you look at Pandora and last.fm's page, they're a whole lot more filled out. ] (]) 03:25, 21 March 2008 (UTC) |

== Last.fm Audioscrobbler Hack == |
|
|
|
|
|
The "Audioscrobbler hack" is not notable for a supposedly encyclopedic article. This is doubly true when there is no citation for the information. It seems to me that the main purposes of that section is to (1) provide an opportunity for an external link (essentially linkspamming for the hack authors) and (2) make the article fulfill a user guide or some other function for Slacker/authors-of-the-hack that is more correctly done elsewhere (i.e., on a Slacker forum or some other site that is not Misplaced Pages). Removing that section would reduce the fanboy tone of the article. If you really think the information is somehow critical to someone who wants to read an article explaining what Slacker is, at least provide a citation that isn't self-published and/or reduce it to a single sentence. It does not warrant its own section. ] (]) 17:20, 20 May 2008 (UTC) |

== Recent article suggestion == |

|
|

As an editor at ''Crawdaddy!,'' and to comply with COI guidelines, I am not posting the link to this column about the Slacker music service. However, I would like to recommend it on its merits, and hope that an editor will find the time to examine the piece and—if he or she sees fit—post it to the "Recent Articles" section. I appreciate your time. '']'' <br /><small>] (]) 23:11, 24 September 2008 (UTC)</small> |

== "Recent Articles" section == |
|
|
|
|
|
The "Recent Articles" section seems to be contrary to ] and the WP Manual of Style. While a reasonable "Further reading" section may be appropriate, this is not it (IMHO). ] (]) 03:12, 4 February 2009 (UTC) |
|
|
:It would be better if those articles could be converted into references that further support the "History" section or other parts of the article. Then there would be less concern about keeping them. -- ] (]) 22:15, 3 June 2009 (UTC) |
