![]() ![]() AOL meanwhile will focus on promotional advertising packages from other portions of its company. ![]() Under the terms of the partnership, Slacker will handle all advertising within the free AOL music service as well as ads for its own service. However, the partnership with Slacker is less about a premium option and more about building out the company’s advertising options. The company recently made the mobile app version of Last.fm paid-only, and relaunched MP3.com as something worthy of the name, which hosts one million actual MP3s from all sorts of artists, whereas previous incarnations of MP3.com included hardly any MP3s (disclosure: the author was formerly editor of MP3.com).AOL’s premium music service will also be based on Slacker, which offers two paid subscription models: a “Radio Plus” service, which gives users unlimited song skips and cuts the ads for $3.99 per month and “Slacker Premium”, which gives users the ability to play any song in Slacker’s music library whenever they want for $9.99 per month.ĪOL previously had a paid music subscription service that it sold in 2007 to Napster. "By combining AOL Radio's reach with the success of Slacker in mobile, we are increasing the distribution of our brands and further identifying AOL Radio as a leader in delivering superior radio experiences."Īcross the board, CBS seems newly focused on making its own properties pay rather than powering other services. "Slacker Radio is the perfect partner to significantly increase the quality of our offerings,"said AOL Radio head Lisa Namerow, in a slight diss to former partner CBS (which also owns of Last.fm). Interactive radio service Slacker announced Tuesday that it will provide interactive stations for AOL Radio, a part of newly-formed "The AOL Huffington Post Media Group's AOL Music" - apparently named by whoever came up with " Ruth's Chris Steakhouse."ĪOL Radio listeners will have access to all three plans offered by Slacker: Basic Radio (free), Radio Plus ($5 per month), and Slacker On-Demand ($10 per month), which, Slacker spokesman Anders Steele told Evolver.fm, will more than double the number of Slacker's listeners.
