Slacker's music catalog has reached well over 2 million tracks. If you've been living with your ears in the offline sand, here's the skinny:

Slacker is an Internet radio service allowing users to create their own customized music stations starting with either Slacker's preset stations or their own custom built stations. Slacker offers many traditional genre, specialty and artist stations pre-made by professional DJs like "Today's Hits", "80's, 90's and Today", "Country", etc. while also letting users build entire stations of specific artists just by typing in their name. Users can continue to evolve any of these stations by rating favorite songs and banning artists or songs. Stations can also be fine tuned to play older or newer music, more hits or more eclectic music all through the intuitive interface at Slacker.com.

To celebrate their achievement, and TiPb's Birthday Bash, we're teaming up together to not only offer 1 FREE YEAR of Slacker Plus service, but a brand new pair of iharmonix Platinum i-Series Stereo Earphones to listen with -- courtesy of the TiPb iPhone Store.
