Introducing My Radio Station
My LAUNCHcast station can be reached here (update: or maybe here, thanks anon). Requires free Yahoo! account (you will be prompted to sign up if you're not already a member) and disabling of pop-ups (until the player loads anyway).
LAUNCHcast is a personal radio station by Yahoo! and it broadcasts songs based on my stated preferences. As I've just set it up, expect wild deviations from my usual preferences which include Celine Dion, Faith Hill, Josh Groban, Norah Jones, Maroon 5, Richard Marx, Trisha Yearwood, Vanessa Carlton, Tori Amos, Lara Fabian and Tim McGraw. It even comes with commercials! All that's lacking is my smoky and husky voice...
Stop laughing.
LAUNCHcast's a pretty cool service, but I'm still trying to find out what the 600 tracks/ month limitation means. I hope others listening in on my station won't count towards my quota, because that would seriously suck. Of course, I'm labouring under the assumption that people are interested enough to click on that link at all. [update: sort of figured it out... listening to my radio station counts towards your own quota and not mine]
Expatatlarge (I cannot believe Blogger doesn't allow '@' within the tags! Replace 'at' with '@') has a pretty cool radio.blog (link here). But the copyright issues are somewhat dodgy (Radio.blog doesn't really protect the song file from getting downloaded... dangerous), plus cheapskate ol' me is not paying for PHP hosting until I have a regular paycheck. So LAUNCHcast it is.
