Damn you all to hell
The ONE benefit I had for having SBC/Yahoo DSL is now gone. I have had free (paid for through my DSL bill), ad-free personalized radio through LaunchCast, which was programmed over time through rankings of genres, artists, albums, and songs. It worked like a neural network of music and it worked like a charm. And now it's gone. I've had that station for well over 5 years and have put a lot of effort into getting it exactly as I want.
"At this time we are unable to offer customized radio stations."
Fuckers.
I am so damned pissed about this I could scream. This is an added benefit that was part of my phone/internet bill.
The customized “Moods” in LAUNCHcast will be discontinued. There will no longer be an option to listen to LAUNCHcast ad free. Yahoo! is working with CBS to provide a similar “Artist-based” radio experience that plays the artist you select and similar artists. This feature may be released during a later phase of the partnership.
Wait. You mean like....oh I don't know.....PANDORA!!!!
I already have that. What I don't have is my God Damned Radio Station THAT I CREATED.
Why the hell can't people leave well enough alone? What the hell is wrong with them??
I'm walking away from the computer now.
EDIT: I get 25 free listens with Rhapsody via my ranking list. I'm giving my LaunchCast a send off. Unfortunately, some of the songs that I can play are only 30 second snippets, and I don't know they are just snippets until they start playing. And that counts as a full song, even though it isn't. So even the free 25 listens isn't a full 25 listens, and only about half of the songs I have ranked and could listen to through LaunchCast are available via Rhapsody. I've never been so pissed about "loosing" music in my life.
