Good news for Slacker Radio fans as Slacker has recently announced that an updated version of their iPhone app is now available for download.

As for the update, the app now features a larger image for the album art, a new player control bar, faster transitions from song to song, as well as an option to disable sleep mode and a folder for recently played stations. Additionally, Slacker Plus subscribers will also get lyrics.

Also, according to the press release, Slacker has seemingly taken aim at what appears to be Pandora claiming to have “a song library that is four times the size of the leading competitor.”

Personally, I am not sure if the competitor truly is Pandora, but either way Slacker has been my favorite for a while. This is one app that I would recommend. Granted the free access (non Slacker Plus account) does have commercials every so often, but they rarely seem annoying.

The Slacker app can be downloaded for free from the App Store, however this one is limited to those in the US.
