(PR) Slacker, Inc. today released new features and visual enhancements to their web interface at Slacker.com. A

Additions include a streamlined visual interface with one-click access to artist bios and album reviews, new station creation options, as well as a "Buy Now" feature to purchase favorite tracks.

A new dynamic thumbnail-based station view makes it easy to browse Slacker's collection of over 100 genre stations and displays a thumbnail of the upcoming album for each station. Listeners can now create their own stations based on song titles in addition to artist or band names. Slacker listeners also now have direct access to purchase songs through a "Buy Now" button directing them to Amazon.com.
