Can't cache stations with a Mac. Looks like I'll have to whip out the netbook. No biggie. So far without caching, I've barely lost any battery life. I am so in love with this app! Six skips per hour per station does kind of suck, but I really haven't found myself skipping any songs yet.

I am set up for Blackberry Browser. I tried a second time and it gets to about 98% of the bar and it just stops. I waited a good 15 minutes the second time. I guess it's not to be.

I will try again. As soon as I pull up their web page via the Storm, it starts to download. Is there anything else I should be doing?

Wait...does the page on your blackberry browser look just like the webpage for slacker.com that loads on your computer? If so, that loading bar isn't the download. It's their web-based player, which won't load completely on your blackberry.
Open your blackberry browser, click the menu key, select options, then browser configuration. For browser identification, make sure blackberry is selected from the drop down menu. Save the settings and try to load slacker.com again. The page that loads should be a mobile web page with a link to download the app.

Adorkable, I checked and I am using blackberry browser. I tried again and clicked on blackberry link at bottom of site. But, it does not provide me with a link to install. I looked at instructions on slacker via PC and it states that if I pull up slacker on my blackerry, it will automatically take me to blackberry download page. Do I need to enable pop-ups or javascript or something else? No biggie. Thanks for you interest in trying to help!

Nope. As long as your blackberry browser's browser identification setting is set to blackberry, it should load the download page for you rather than the regular slacker.com index page. I'm stumped. :\

Delete your browser cache and then try the download again. Also, are you pointing your browser directly to Slacker.com (home)?

Is it possible to play it over the phones speaker? The only way I can hear it is by holding it up to my ear. Looked for settings but cant seem to find anything to change it. Suggestions?

It plays through the phone's speaker. Did you try turning the volume up using the volume key on the side of the phone? It can actually go pretty loud.

Tried that, it isnt coming out through the phones speaker. Its coming out through the ear piece, as if I were on the phone with someone.

Are there any option for the ones who live in Europe?

Your bluetooth ear piece? Probably because it acts like headphones. Did you try disconnecting it and trying?

Try plugging in some headphones then unplugging them. That happened to me once on one of the previous versions.

I was just coming to post this, I upgraded tonight and had this problem where it only played like a phone call, then I plugged in my headphones (sounded great) when I unplugged the headphones it started working like it should.
Thanks Phlak!!
And agree 500% Slacker is Kick Hind!!
