The streaming music space is getting awfully crowded these days, what with iTunes Radio set to tussle with Pandora, and a growing number of subscription music services flooding the market. Slacker Radio is doing its best to stand out with an updated iOS app, released on Wednesday, that reboots the user experience and adds a cool new My Vibe feature.
A brand new look.
A big idea behind the latest update is, as new Chief Product Officer John Hayase told me during a recent hands-on demo, to get people listening to music more quickly, with fewer taps. The new version does that with a large, scrolling tile at the top with new music, an album and artist of the week, and other timely and/or curated content that you can jump right into. As catalogs become pretty even among the different services, finding ways to showcase that content and have you spend less time blindly searching for it is what will differentiate one from another.
Beneath that are two sections for Stations and My Vibe. Stations lets you drill down into the hundreds of human-curated and DJed music, news, sports, and weather, and comedy stations that Slacker offers.
