LAUNCHcast Radio in Yahoo! Messenger 8

Yesterday the Messenger team launched the beta version of Messenger 8.0. LAUNCHcast (Yahoo! Music’s personalized radio service) has been a part of Messenger for a couple of years and for 8.0 we made it sleeker and a little bit cooler. There is a new feature called the Side Panel. Play a song in LAUNCHcast and select the arrow off to the right and then you will see album cover art, song information and much more.

Messenger 8.0 is not just about LAUNCHcast. The new Messenger has some cool new plug ins like Yahoo! Answers and Yahoo! 360. If you one of those Yahoo! Answers addicts you can view questions that the world is asking right from Yahoo! Messenger. You can even track your bids on eBay with the new eBay plug in.

Download the new Messenger 8.0 and explore the fun, new features. Please be forgiving and remember that we are in beta. There are a few known bugs that we are busily attacking.

Share the love!

  1. When does that detailed of a rating system come to the YME Launchcast?

    The star system is too vague.

  2. I currently have two options for using the 100-point scale with YME. The first one is a Windows taskbar toolbar (YME Taskbar Remote) at http://www.bliny.net (or gallery.yahoo.com) and the second is a widget at http://www.widgetgallery.com/view.php?widget=39325 .
