I've been trying out the Slacker software player, and signed up for the 7 day trial. So far so good, but how do you rewind to hear a song again? I can skip forwards as much as I like, but the rewind button remains grayed out. Also, the right side displays a list of the songs that have been played on the current channel. How can I go back and play one of them? Right now clicking on one does nothing, all I can do it ban it or ad it to my favorites list. I'm used to my XM Skyfi that I've been using for years, where I rewind to re-hear a just played song that I like, is this not possible on Slacker?

Thanks!

Music licenses do not allow you to activate replay or rewind a specific song, or to play a particular song or artist on demand. This is with internet radio in general not just Slacker.

What was the phone number for the RIAA ?

You can only rewind your own music that you've copied to the device, but not the channels that you download from Slacker.

Ah ok so it's by design. Thanks guys!

Hi,
Just to add on to the already great information posted in response. If you have our premium radio subscription, then you would be able to save the song to your library (if we have the licenses) and then you could listen to it whenever you want by selecting the song from your library.

Hope that helps.

Thanks,

I can do it with my buffer on the SL2. How is this any different? The RIAA are morons.

Great Info, I always forget that you can save the songs. I do have several of them saved and in fact listened to them last night as I made myself a playlist.

Thanks for the reminder!

And yes, this is not permitted by our contracts.

Slacker is an Internet Radio service. We have to follow DMCA rules, and so as a Radio Service we can't provide you unlimited replays of your songs. If you want more control, then you have to negotiate separate rights with the labels, and we did do this, this is why our Premium Radio Subscription is available.

Nice, didn't even notice that. Are there any limits to 'saved songs'? Like do they auto delete themselves after a few days?

As long as you have the Premium Subscription, there is no limits. You are free to play them as much as you want.
