The app has a sleek interface and features central dial that can be used to navigate station genres. The users can dial different genres and also see sub-genres when moving around the dial wheel. When switching from station to station, the app remembers the location of songs, making it easy to come back to a particular track.
The Milk Music app comes to Galaxy customers similar to iTunes users for iPhones. Both services stream music and enable users to create stations based on their favorite artists. The only difference is Slacker powers Milk Music while Apple itself powers iTunes Radio. It means no licensing problems for Samsung.
Milk Music doesn’t include any advertisements and is free to use, while iTunes Radio has iAds with the free option. Paying $25 per year for iTunes Match brings iTunes Radio free from advertisements.
