Thanks! I tried but got an error message, saying it wasn't available. Must be a lot of people listening to it...

Hmmmm. It should have opened a window and begun streaming the audio to you. Maybe you've got to have your own LAUNCHcast station set up before you are allowed to sample other peoples' stations. I have two separate Yahoo ID's with a station set up for each of them and I can listen to either one no matter which ID I Sign In under.

Try this: Sign into your Yahoo, then navigate to music.yahoo.com and look for the "Create Station" link near the top right under the heading "RADIO". You'll be instructed how to set up your own LAUNCHcast station for streaming playback.

There isn't TOO much to know about it; it's fairly simple but this is KEY: On the "Genres" page, mark everything you DON'T want to listen to as "Never Play". Leave the genres you DO want to hear UNRATED. Then leave it at that and just rate each song as LAUNCHcast serves it up for you. NOTE: Among the Options you have is a choice between a 0 to 100 rating scale and a five level scale. I like the 0 to 100 scale, myself.

It's pretty much that simple and you'll have a place to go on-line for the music you like most. Oh, yeah, there ARE commercials and you can avoid them if you want to pay out $3 or $4 a month; I just turn down the volume for 60 seconds.
