Slacker Radio is now available for free download for WM 6.5 devices with a screen resolution of 480 x 800. It is actually pre-installed on my new HD2 so stay tuned for some hands-on impressions soon. The following are the features on the WM application:
- Music library featuring millions of songs
- High-quality stereo playback from any available wireless connection
- Create custom artist stations based on artists or songs
- Over 120 professionally programmed and customizable genre stations
- View artist biographies and photos
- View album art and read reviews
- Rate songs as favorites
- Ban songs and artists from stations
I do not see station caching in this version, but all the other mobile operating system versions launched without it to start as well. I am sure Slacker is working on it for WM too and once that comes there is less of a need for Zune and the sting of no Windows Phone 7 Series upgrade should be easier to handle.
