The New LAUNCHcast Radio Is Here!
Posted by warmer, February 21, 2009 at 12:58 am, in LAUNCHcast Radio, Yahoo! Music Unlimited. 13 CommentsHi 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.

Or just open up Yahoo! Instant Messenger and start the 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.

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.

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

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

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

The launchcast plug-in won’t work on my YM9.
Everytime I start it, the box will show this instead of the radio:

I am so upset. I spent years customizing my station. It hurts now. I want it back and it will never be the same. Please do something about this!

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!
