Question
Unable to open Slacker with Alexa
I just got a Sonos One a few days ago. I can open Pandora via Alexa, but can't seem to do the same for Slacker. I can open it via the Sonos app, but can't use voice command. Is this supported or am I doing / saying something wrong?

You can initiate playback from any music source, such as local music library, using the Sonos app, and basic playback commands, such as play/pause, volume and skip, will continue to work.

+21Slacker would need to add themselves to Alexa as a music service in order to be used through Sonos via voice commands. This isn't something Sonos can do.
If you initiate playback through the Sonos controller, you could give pause/resume, stop, and skip/next song commands, but that's about it.

Prior to recently buying my sonos system, I had reached out to Slacker about 2 months ago asking about alexa integration. They stated it was on a potential development list but made zero commitment.
I've been a loyal Slacker customer for many years but to be honest, the lack of Alexa integration or commitment may be a make or break deal for me which I shared with them.
I would encourage anyone else wanting Slacker voice integration via Alexa and Sonos to reach out to slacker and encourage them to get with the competition or else...
