My favorite online radio station is Slacker Radio. I use it on the web via an embedded (aka nothing to download) music player. I also use it on both of my BlackBerries. About 6 months ago I subscribed to Slacker Radio Plus which gives you unlimited music skipping for only $3.95.

I love creating specialized radio stations that I listen to at various times of the day depending upon my mood. And whenever there’s a song that I don’t like – I can ban it from playing again. Similarly when there’s a song that I like – clicking on the like button makes sure that I hear more of it.

Slacker’s unique in that it has customizable stations and supports multiple devices. If you’re using a BlackBerry, the free Slacker client even supports downloading (caching) a supply of music to your device.

Interested in a free year of service (normall $3.95/month)? All you need to do is leave your comment below. This Friday, May 1, at 5pm EST we’ll pick one lucky winner for a free one year Slacker Radio Plus subscription.

    I’ve been slacking on my G2, bought my wife a G1, trashed Sirius. Great service! Haven’t gone ahead with the Plus yet….

    Slacker is phenomenal. When I stumbled across it a year or so ago I could not believe the variety of stations available. There is something for everyone. Just one word of warning – I listen to the comedy channel at work (using headphones) and twice I’ve nearly spit out my coffee over my screen! I also get the occasional odd look if I haven’t successfully stifled my laughs! I hope I win, I hope I win, I hope I win…
