I just tried it and it locked up my blackberry curve so I had to remove the battery to restart it!!!

answering old question from Nancy in case someone else searching as I was. Eventually accidentally stumbled on option trying to stay awake at work at 4AM. Of course, turns out that to shut down Slacker all you do is hit the menu button and scroll down to shut down… It's a fantastic feature that it keeps playing otherwise!

While playing Slacker on my Blackberry, how do you turn it off? I can get to other applications, but the song still plays.

I can’t figure out how to shut it off. When I use the “back” button, which usually ends whatever task I was doing, the slacker still plays

The slacker.synclauncher.exe is on your Blackberry.
When connected to a Windows PC via USB, the Blackberry provides two disk volumes to Windows. One is the internal memory, one is the Media Card.

I go to drive “S:\” and double-click slacker.synclauncher.exe

The first time, this transfers a lot of data, 100 songs per cached station. Mine is over a Gig with 12 stations cached.

After that, a sync only changes some of the cached songs, so it doesn’t take anywhere near as long.

I miss be missing something. In the “caching” instructions above it says “then on your PC, select the option that says “Sync Slacker Stations.” This application is installed on my Blackberry not my pc. Therefore there is no options on my PC related to Slacker Radio for caching or anything else. Am I missing something??

Slacker used to crash my curve all the time. Their updates tend be more and mores table. They have now released a 2.0 version in the last few days which has not crashed my curve yet. Make sure you are running the latest.

I downloaded slacker on my Blackberry Curve 8330 and it will make it turn off from time to time. This is happening to my husband’s blackberry as well. What could it be. It just freezes and reboots the phone.

Any suggestions, I really like the Slacker!!!!
