Request Songs

If you have a Premium subscription, Slacker enables you to request songs on all artist and custom stations.  Slacker will play these songs more often.  When you request a song, it is as if you clicked the Favorite button while listening to the song.  But now you don't have to wait for the song to be played in order to favorite it.

 

NOTE: Requested songs are not saved to your Slacker Library, but you can save them when the station plays the songs.

 

There is no limit to the number of songs you can request.  So you'll hear more favorites as you add more artists and request more songs.

 

Do you hear enough of your favorites?  Do you hear too many favorites?  You can change how frequently your station will play favorite songs with the Favorites setting in the Fine Tune feature.
