Both subscription packages also come with lyrics for most songs. With a Slacker Premium subscription ($9.99/month), you'll get on-demand music listening so you can search for and listen to the exact songs and albums you want (similar to Spotify).
With Slacker Radio Plus ($3.99 per month), you'll be able to save station caches for later listening even when offline. If you want to take advantage of playlist caching or music-on-demand features without ads, you'll need to sign up for a subscription. The ads can be a little annoying, with full 30-second commercial spots at the beginning of listening to a station. Much like Pandora, the free version of Slacker Radio is ad-supported and lets you search for a song and then create a station of similar music based on that song. A skip button is available for moving on to the next song, but you get limited skips per session (only six at the time of this review).
You'll be able to fine-tune your station requirements while it plays as well as create custom stations. The controls to pause, skip, save, and remove an artist from your playlist are located at the bottom of the interface. Keybase and Stellar partnered for another massive airdrop of Stellar’s native token, Lumens (XLM), which Keybase’s CEO claims to be different from the previous giveaways, though many in the community are not convinced in its benefits.While playing a track, Slacker lets you look at both album art as well as artist bios and album reviews (for most songs and artists). Max Krohn, CEO and co-founder of the encrypted chat app Keybase, told Fortune that this giveaway is different from those that came before it because everything is happening on a chat app, not on a cryptocurrency exchange “where people might be encouraged to cash out immediately.” Krohn said that he hopes “people will transact with the cryptocurrency in-app, sending it to contacts and paying for various services offered by chat bots.” Nonetheless, the price of XLM dropped 76% since the first event of this kind was announced.
Keybase partnered with Stellar for what is likely the largest giveaway of Stellar’s native token, Lumens (XLM) so far. As the announcement explains, XLM is made for cross-border payments, where a user can send one currency, and the recipient can receive the funds in the currency of their choice. Starting with a gift of 100 million XLM (USD 6 million), to 300,000 Keybase users, the Stellar Development Foundation (SDF) will continue this airdrop with giving away 100 million XLM per month, divided equally among participants, for 20 months, making it a total of XLM 2 billion. A participant can’t get more than USD 500 in XLM in total though. At the current price, the airdrop would be worth some USD 120 million.
