Block Slacker Radio Ads

Slacker Radio

What is Slacker Radio?

I love Internet radio and Slacker Radio is probably my second favorite place to go after Pandora. Plenty of channels to choose from at a good quality makes for an enjoyable listening experience. There are a couple downsides to Slacker Radio.

Downside of Slacker

First, if you want to have “unlimited” skips on your music you need to subscribe at a monthly fee. I like my money too much to want to skip songs without end at a cost.

Secondly, the free subscription is laced with advertisements every so many seconds. At first this really didn’t annoy me, but occasionally it now gets on my nerves.

That is, until yesterday.

The Secret to Blocking Slacker Radio Ads

I discovered that Ad Block Plus for Firefox blocks audio advertisements from Slacker. Sure, the music goes quiet for 15-30 seconds, but there’s no interruption of Mr Announcer.
