Today Slacker announced the all new “Radio Plus”, a value priced offering which gives listeners access to all of the features of the free Basic Radio service, with the added ability to skip an unlimited number of songs and request an unlimited number of songs when creating their own custom stations for only $3.99 per month.

So you ask… what’s the difference between the new Plus and Premium services? The only difference I can see is that the Premium has the ability to “heart” your favorite songs and cost $6 more per month. That being said, this new price point will no doubt be tempting to those who are already hooked on the ad supported service.

I have no idea idea long it will last but, as of today they are offering a 7 day free trial.

For those of you who may be looking for an affordable gift this Holiday season look no further then woot.com. For today, and today only you can grab a 2GB Slacker WiFi Internet Radio Player with 15 Stations at woot for only $49.99.
