Slacker Radio keeps pausing.

Does anyone have any issue with Slacker Radio with the S3? It keeps on pausing almost every 5 min for good 20-30 sec. It's really annoying. I never had this issue with iPhone. I travel the same route every day and listen to the same station. Is it the issue with S3 or the app?

YES!!! It seems to be especially bad when playing cached content!!

I've engaged tech support, but so far don't have resolution.

I strongly suspect it has to do with background task management.

I'm not having that issue. Once in a while after a song ends it "forgets" to start the next one and I have to hit the fwd button (its still on "play" just not playing anything and the last song is shown as the album art), but I had that same issue with my iPhone 4S too.

I have been using Slacker since iPhone day. Sadly, I had to uninstall Slacker and went with other provider. I might try again when they fixed the issue. Fortunately, there are many stream radio providers out there.
