Slacker is unstable.

I signed up for a year of Slacker and I really like it ... When it works. I have found that lately it just stops. I then must dump existing playlist to trash (using Ipeng), go to my apps, find Slacker and re- enter a Slacker music station . I sometimes use the free Pandora service and do not have this problem.

Is anyone experiencing the same Slacker problem? I reported this in another thread and I thought it was fixed. Thank you.

I am still having similar problems with slacker.

Boom, I find that this disconnect behavior occurs when I have stacked several Slacker customed stations into a playlist of 3 or more stations. I like doing this because I can progress through a variety of music. Maybe Slacker is not supposed to be used this way. Do you find that that this is your situation too ? Thanks.

If it helps, I have no such issues with Slacker, plays for hours on end.
But I only have a free account and I only play individual stations (not making playlists).

Thanks Toby. Maybe I am not supposed to stack. I'll check it out. Thank you.

I have this problem. I haven't looked at my logs yet but SqueezeControl (for Palm Pre) displays a "400 bad request" error and shows the URL of the slacker stream. Pretty annoying.

I am not stacking stations, have a free account, had it occur on custom stations and predefined slacker stations.

Same sort of results as Speebs reported. Usually "Slacker timed out waiting for data" or "400 bad request".

Sometimes it will play for hours, but usually fails after 6 or 7 tracks, sometimes 1 or 2.

Frustrating. Can't complain too much though since I'm using a free account. Current performance is definitely a deterrent from signing up.

I am a paid account. When I do not stack it seems ok...for now. I will check back after a trial period . Thanks.
