Slacker Radio Brings Streaming, Customizable Tunes to Android [Downloads]

Summary

Android: Slacker Radio, the customizable internet radio service that's previously landed on iPhones, offers an Android app that offers the same on-the-go streaming tunes, but with the big bonus of background music playing.

The app apparently arrives customized on the new Droid and Droid Eris phones taking their bow today, but works the same on any Android device. The "Lite" free version intersperses visual and audio ads into your stream, and allows you a limited number of "Skips" per stream. There's a whole host of categories to listen to your music in, with a good variety across years and genres. We don't see an option to customize your stream and determine how many favorite artists get mixed into it, or ban certain artists, as with the iPhone/iPod app, but it seems you can do that from Slacker's web radio site. The audio streaming seemed consistent and of good audio quality, on Wi-Fi and 3G.

Slacker Radio is a free download for Android, as well as iPhones and BlackBerry devices.
