I just got Slacker Radio, because it was free on my phone. Great device.Originally Posted by Firth
Last night I plugged my IPhone up to my Pioneer receiver and my main system. I have my own tuned version of the Folk rock channel. I added many of the progressive folk acts. The interface from the IPhone is digital to the receiver. Wow the sound quality was phenomenal. There are channels including 2 prog channels that Slacker Radio provides which programmed by users. I'll research and get back with the names.
I know this thread is virtually dead, but I just had to post this...
A week or two ago (yeah, it took me that long to find this thread) I tuned to Deep Tracks and the song that was playing was kind of mixture of psych and jazz-rock, with a nice sax solo at the end. A bit more sophisticated than, say, Chicago, but not as much as Weather Report or Mahavishnu. I'm thinking, "this is pretty good. Who is this?" I press the button on the radio to find out the name of the song and then the band. Unfortunately, I forget the song, but the band: Loggins and Messina.
What the what?

Loggins and Messina actually had some pretty proggy sounding stuff. It could have been "angry eyes" that you heard but that's just a guess.
Yep, that's it. Recognized the title immediately.
Funny thing, tho, listening to it now, I don't like it as much as I remember liking it.

A few days ago they played: David Gilmour - "Short & Sweet"
Cool! Do you use wi-fi for that, or just the phone's connection? I have an an Android phone, and I've never had good results using the wi-fi - much more reliable with wi-fi turned off. But I'm going to finally go over to the dark side and upgrade to an iPhone 5 next week, and I'm wondering if the connection over wi-fi is more reliable. My droid is the first Samsung Galaxy S phone (Captivate) and it was cool for about 6 months then it started to Samsuck as Google and Samsung proceeded to abandon it. I didn't have time to deal with their bullsh*t OS upgrade procedure more than once. But this is for another thread...
Next to There's No Way Out Of Here, my fave song from David's first solo album.A few days ago they played: David Gilmour - "Short & Sweet"
Also, that's a flute solo towards the end and not a sax solo.
I heard KC's "Heartbeat"...on the 1st Wave channel.

Yes, I know. I was going from memory. Also, I don't think I got to finish hearing the song.
