Anyone using a Slacker Premium account (instead of the Tesla-provided Slacker Basic/Radio Plus account) actively in the Model S?
Multiple pain points:
1) Each time I add/modify a playlist, I have to manually go to the Media Player app settings and explicitly logout and log back into Slacker to get the playlists to refresh in the Slacker app.
2) After refreshing a playlist thus, the moment I pick a song from a playlist, the touchscreen freezes up. Need to reboot to get it going again; the playlists work then. This has been my experience with 5.9 through 5.11. Very annoying to say the least if I actively change playlists on a regular basis.
3) Minor annoyance: unlike when playing a song outside of a playlist, the app shows no song duration/current time point indicator when playing a song from a playlist.
4) This is not really Playlists-related but, on a couple of occasions (not during any software update process), the Slacker account credentials mysteriously reverted to the one provided by Tesla! I was wondering why I couldn't see the Playlists option in the app only to find that the credentials had changed in the settings.
The monthly $9.99 for Slacker Premium has been worth it for the ability to play playlists (and single artist stations, etc.) in the car but, these bugs have been a pain to live with.
It's almost as if the Tesla software engineers who worked on the Slacker app didn't bother to refine the Playlists feature enough given that the default Tesla-provisioned Slacker Basic accounts don't provide the Playlists feature...
