Yes I had it stop playing in the middle a couple times too. I forced exit and loaded up again and it worked fine.

Slacker is constantly stopping. Sometimes it will play a few songs and stop, sometimes it will play half way through the first or second song and stop. I have soft reset and uninstalled and re-installed but to no avail. I am not messing around with the power button; the phone stays on.

im glad im not alone,, i have had all vrs of slacker and now the official cab from their website ,,
and after a min or 2 music stops, backlights still on ,,sometimes ,i can pause and un pause and it will start but most times i have to skip to the next song..i have tried on 3 cust roms..currently on NRG ...i have uninstalled app , restarted phone,, then reinstalled ,,same results.
i hope it works out ,, i love this app...blows the sound quality of Pandora out the water...anyone know where the reg settings are for it,, may go tweaking around

I wish someone could fix this issue where Slacker randomly stops playing. It is really annoying. The Slacker sound quality is fantastic considering it's streaming audio to a phone. It sounds great in my car but this bug is a deal breaker.

Re: Slacker finally Official Release.... Goodbye Pandora Hello Slacker

I was listening to slacker on my computer yesterday when the music stopped. A box came up asking if I was still listening and if I clicked yes then the music resumed. Could this somehow have something to do with the problem with the mobile version?

Re: Slacker finally Official Release.... Goodbye Pandora Hello Slacker

FIANLLLY my boy has this on his blackburrry and i saw the cab on the Fav cab thread and been loving it ever since.!!

Re: Slacker finally Official Release.... Goodbye Pandora Hello Slacker

downloaded, neat app, but it crashes my phone. I suspect my custom taskbar with 1% battery, and/or volume controls.
had to download new volume .cab for custom taskbar, but its not quite the same as original.
app runs ok, although a bit choppy playback, sound is great.
phone crashes when I try to shut it down, taskbar on top continues to read slacker even at home screen.

dunno if its worth trying to fix since my mp3s usually satisfy me and this is the first compatibility issue I've had yet with custom taskbar.

yea im using the stock rom... good news for people who complain about slacker's music stopping when turning of lcd screen and music stopping halfway in a song.. slacker recently as 5 days made a new update to slacker windows which fix this problems.

Re: Slacker finally Official Release.... Goodbye Pandora Hello Slacker

Well I just saw this post, and decided to try it, and maybe what tryphux is what I got, but I have gone thru 4 songs and no hang ups or freezings, but I am also using Slacker thru Wifi, its a known fact that sound quality and signal will obviously be better thru wifi, and mine is a stock rom quite modded, and its running nicely, but I have the modded Pandora (Unless there is an official one) which I wont get rid of either, I just hate the pause as someone said asking if I'm still there, thats a PITA if I wasnt there I wouldnt be listening dumbass LOL. But thanx for the find, like slacker so far. And I can tell you this version, I shut the screen off and it runs fine, no stopping.

Yes but your still constricted to the quality of the cell tower signal.
