Slacker works on Storm...

No need to wait for official supported version.

Go direct to OTA install:
http://www.slacker.com/dwls/bb/slacker_mobile.jad

Note:
- disable compatibility mode
- if you get IP error, just register via PC
- allow ALL firewall access requests

works great, sounds great.
enjoy.

@cray1000 - yep she's free, hard to believe considering it's a solid app & service.

The basic service is free for unlimited use. It works perfectly on the Storm, even though it is not a Storm approved version. Just make sure you have 600+ MB's of free space on your memory card for station caching (Slacker only recommends 500 but I found that it runs smoother with at least 600), make sure compatability mode is turned off before running it for the 1st time, and make sure to do a battery pull after install. If you do these 3 things the app should run flawlessly.

how do you make sure the cache goes to the media card and not the onboard memory?

it says i can cache up to 58 stations, when i hit menu to cache, at the very top of the genre categories it says cached stations, but does not show any? do i need to use the dm to do this? and how exactly?

I don't know how to disable compatibility mode. I went to Advance Options>Applications>Slacker but all it allows me to do is edit permissions.

Here you go you should go to Options>Advanced Options>Applications>Slacker>BB Menu Button>CLICK Disable Compatibility Mode

That should do it for you.
