The Slacker (Slacker.com) team was out in full force at today's SF Music Tech in San Francisco at the Hotel Kabuki. Slacker CEO, Jim Cady, spoke on Discovery & Recommendation at 2 PM. We snapped an image of Slacker's Patrick Markel at the table showing attendees how the service works, as well as one of band, The Mowglis, playing a few tracks. The SF MusicTech Summit brings together visionaries in the music/technology space, along with the best and brightest developers, entrepreneurs, investors, service providers, journalists, musicians and organizations who work with them at the convergence of culture and commerce. We meet to discuss the evolving music/business/technology ecosystem in a proactive, conducive to dealmaking environment. Thanks to Brian and Cassie for putting together an awesome event.

Slacker, the world's first Personal Radio company offering “Your Radio Everywhere,” is known for it's awesome pre-programmed genre stations (including everything from 90's grunge to comedy) and the ability to create your OWN stations based on artist, song or album. We thought we'd gather a few good tips on creating awesome custom stations so here you go: You can: start with a genre station you like and tweak it with your favorite bands via the web players "station page" and "edit station" option. You can also: start with any artist you like or can think of and then go to the "request music" tab and heart or ban a few artists that are listed in the related artists section. You can then add additional artists (by entering them in the search field also within the request music tab) that aren't already listed - this helps to create an even more eclectic mix. And be sure to try the: "fine tune" controls to adjust the levels of artist discovery as well as the type of tracks you want to hear: deep, fringe, hits and from what era: classic, older, recent, current in addition to how often you want to hear your faves! Finally: Ban and favorite tracks to your hearts content! Teach Slacker what you want. We promise it listens. If you're interested in getting some validation on how awesome Slacker's service is you can ready why Jeff Wilson at PC Magazine has given Slacker the magazine's Editor's Choice award receiving 4.5 out of 5 stars!
