Hi all,

We’re proud to announce that the new LAUNCHcast powered by CBS Radio is now live! Check it out here: http://new.music.yahoo.com/launchcast.
LAUNCHcast Radio Player

Or just open up Yahoo! Instant Messenger and start the LAUNCHcast plug-in.

Messenger LAUNCHcast Plug-in

For the first time in Yahoo! Music history, you can now listen to LAUNCHcast on Firefox and on a Mac! The Yahoo! Music team is still programming all your favorite stations and now you can also choose from a variety of music, sports, news and talk programming from CBS Radio’s station line-up. We’re very excited about our partnership with CBS and will continue to work together to make LAUNCHcast even better, so stay tuned.

In addition to the new LAUNCHcast Radio, we also released a new page where you can see all of the songs you’ve rated on Yahoo! Music. Check it out here. You can also play many of your songs on-demand thanks to our partnership with Rhapsody.

My Ratings Page

We know a lot of you were fans of your customized My Station, and while My Station is no longer available, we are still committed to creating a personalized experience for you on Yahoo! Music (Read Michael’s post for the rationale behind the discontinuation of customized radio). Your ratings will still be used to power the recommendations provided to you on our site. You can play your recommendations on-demand from our recommendations page.

Recommendations Page

We also offer a personalized music video station that is based on your ratings as well. Check out your video station here.

My Video Station

Look for the “My Music” tab in the main navigation bar on Yahoo! Music to see all the stuff related to your music preferences.

My Music Tab

We will continue to work on new features that take advantage of your ratings so we encourage you to keep rating music to personalize our site to your unique musical tastes. Please note, the songs you rate in the new LAUNCHcast players are not saved to your Yahoo! Music profile. We’ll be working with CBS to incorporate radio ratings from the new player into your profile in the future.

That’s it for now. Please check out our frequently asked questions for additional information about the new LAUNCHcast service. If you have questions about the new player, check out our help page here.

Thanks
–Dave

  11. I paid for Launchcast for 2 or 3 years, I loved it, it was my favorite thing EVER! Then to my dismay, I logged in one day and got your crappy message about how you had sold out, and how I was out of radio for months.

    So I googled “free internet radio” and found Pandora, I now pay them, and will continue to because I have a Pandora app on my DROID (and many other phones get it too)…wheres your phone app Yahoo? Catch up! You can keep all my ratings, I have new ones now. My tastes have changed since you cut me off so abruptly!

  14. Love the look of this interface. At our music blog we have a custom player built on the JWPlayer, but certainly would prefer the functionality of a playlist UI like this one.

  15. Every business or product needs exposure to get expected profit, and for exposure we need marketing for the particular business or product. Traditional marketing techniques have been outdated, Online marketing has taken the place of traditional marketing techniques. For promotion, Internet is the best medium now days. It is the first choice of business promoters for online marketing all over the world. Everyone is fighting for the better rank in search engines. These search engines have their own algorithms to identify relevant content on website and to rank them. Websites get the rank on search engine results page according to the data relevancy and structure.

    Online Marketing:

    It is the way of promoting the business over the internet. It can increase your business visibility on various search engines like Google, Yahoo and Bing. In simple words, more visibility, more traffic, more customers, and finally more profit which is the most important factor of every business. Various practices are included in whole online marketing like SEM (Search Engine Marketing), SEO, and PPC (Pay Per Click), Reputation management. All these are part of Process and related one to another.

    Search Engine Optimization:

    Basically it consists of two processes, one is on-page optimization and other one is off-page optimization. In on-page optimization the main focus is on page structure and content. If your website is properly structured and has relevant data, then your site has more chances to beat your competitor’s site.

    In off page optimization, we concern about visibility of site on various locations on internet. To increase visibility, the website URL is submitted to different online locations.

    There are lots of online marketing companies which are providing these types of services to promote your business with all other services like graphic designing, web hosting etc. at one place. These companies can help you to increase your website visibility over the internet.
