"Now if you plan to refresh via USB, go online and download the latest version of the USB Software Refresher, get that installed. "

"If you already have an account setup, you can start listening to the stations deciding which you may want on your Slacker Portable. You can also take this time to play around with customizing some of your own stations. This way when the Slacker Portable arrives you just start at the top of this post follow the instructions and you'll be enjoying the service in no time."
Already playing around with custom, checked Slacker Classic Country station and found 80's country, please. Playing around with some Marty Robbins, Boxcar Willie, and Conway Twitty. Only 36 years old but if I'm going to get Slacker I don't need regular radio music.
"There is also a thread about the two subscription packages currently available with some discussion on the merits of each one. My recommendation if you are bothered by a few ads and want the ability of unlimited skips of songs is to go for the Slacker Plus Radio subscription. See discussion here:
http://www.digitalradiocentral.com/slacker/s...adio-plus.html Remember that no subscription is necessary and you can just enjoy your Slacker Portable using the Free Basic Service."
Thinking this over, I have heard maybe 1 ad an hour, might need the skips, not sure. With 40 stations I could just change the station if out of skips, right?
