this app is a SCAM!!!! We didn't sign up for it and we get billed $3.99 per month x2 for 2 different phones on our Verizon bill and we have never used it. There is no way we can find to cancel it. When we search how to cancel, all we can find is many other people lamenting that they too are being charged monthly and are unable to cancel.

I love Slacker. But this "extension" isn't. C'mon Slacker dev team, why bother? This is just a bookmark to your site. Completely pointless. And while you're improving things, please ditch Flash from your site. It's buggy as heck.

The Slacker Radio service is fine. But this "App" is just a shortcut to their website (as many have pointed out). It would be awesome if they made a legitimate app with functionality - perhaps a separate small window with play/pause, etc. They could add notifications each time a new song plays - things like that.
