Yay! Sonos finally adds Slacker Radio support

[vi edit]

Long time coming but I just got an email that Sonos finally added support for Slacker Radio.

It's a good thing because they recently changed their Pandora streams from commercial free to having some really annoying adds every 15-30 minutes or so.

I recently picked up a Slacker subscription for my iPhone and love the caching function. Plus Slacker doesn't have a lame ass live track play every three or four songs. And they have actual radio stations.

I'll be updating my Sonos controller tonight.

I don't have a Sonos so I don't know but how how can they change their Pandora streams? If you have a subscription and it's using your credentials, wouldn't the Pandora stream be commercial-free?

I've had Sonos for over a year. Up till about 2 months ago it was commercial free streams with Pandora without being a paid Pandora subscriber. I'm certain they had some sort of re-up agreement in place with Sonos and their prior one ran out. The new one likely included the placement of adds.
