Has anyone ever tried this?
I've been using it alot at work and since November my playlist plays the majority of Christmas Carols, and not the ones that I like. You know the ones like Nat King Cole, Bing Crosby etc? Well it seems that Yahoo's Music LAUNCHCast likes to play weird new bands like Boys II Men, Brian McKnight, and various other artists that have just butchered my favorate Christmas songs!
Their rating system can be a bit odd at times too. I tend to do as they ask and not rate them as 'Never Play Again' but ones that I have rating poorly seem to creep up once in a while, but I just hit the 'Forward' button and away it goes!
I wish they offered more selection for this web application. I cannot find much information about paying monthly for it either but I would only pay if I could ensure that the music I wanted to listen to it would/could be played. There some artists that I would like to see but according to their website, they don't offer it on their LAUNCHcast web app.
I've seen other similar services on the web out there, but I have yet to find one that offers the music I want like Yahoo does. I listen to a huge variation of music from Enya, to Old Dirty Bastard back over to Comedy of Robin Williams, Richard Pryor.
Like currently I am listening to Jimmy Fallon singing various songs to the tune of MC Hammer's Hammertime.
