NOTE: As of May 2020, TuneCore is no longer distributing new releases to Slacker Radio. All content has been removed from Slacker Radio. New distributions will no longer be sent to Slacker Radio.
Slacker Radio makes it easy for fans to discover, share and purchase your music. Delivering hundreds of hand-crafted stations that adapt to listeners’ tastes, Slacker allows users to lean back and enjoy a DJ-created mix of the biggest artists, indie favorites, and tomorrow’s stars.
Slacker is available on every major smartphone and tablet platform, from Android and iOS to Blackberry and Windows, plus Smart TVs, consumer electronics devices, and in the car. Slacker is also the only digital music service with one-touch billing agreements with every major wireless carrier in North America, making music easier than ever to purchase.
Important :
- All content delivered to Slacker will be available to their Premium Radio subscribers only. Once Slacker receives additional artist information from Rovi, the music will then be available to all Slacker listeners.
- Slacker may not make your content available if they are unable to clear the necessary publishing rights.
Please note that your music may not be available for streaming on Slacker Radio until Slacker is able to license certain music publishing rights for the underlying musical composition(s) of your sound recording(s).
Stores and streaming services like Slacker Radio lean on companies such as Music Reports Inc. and the Harry Fox Agency to clear those rights. Therefore, in certain cases, your music can’t go live on Slacker Radio until whomever publishes the musical composition behind your music is registered with these companies.
If you both wrote and self-published the music you’re distributing, you’re welcome to sign up for TuneCore’s Publishing Administration service. Once you sign up, TuneCore will, on your behalf, take care of getting your music properly registered and licensed to be streamed and sold in any major store.
Go Live Time
It takes 1-3 business days for content to go live in Slacker.

Payments will fluctuate each month, depending on the amount of subscription revenue generated and how often your music was streamed.
