LAUNCHcast
Well after a tip from Adam I signed up for the LAUNCHcast service today. The free version was pretty cool, but kinda low quality and there were commercials. So I signed up for the paid service and now have 7 days to try it out. I think I’ll be keeping it though. It’s only $4 a month, which is less than a trip to taco bell. So I can just pack my lunch one day a month and the cost will be covered.
The sound quality is pretty good, through headphones anyway, which is how I normally listen to music while I’m at work.
I really like the way you can customize your own radio station. All of the rock stations in Chattanooga just play Dave Matthews Band and Matchbox 20 way too much for my taste. I can’t stand Dave Matthews Band. Bleh. So this way I can have the variety that radio provides, with only artists that I like on the playlist. Sounds like a good deal to me.
Plus with the for-pay service, you can set music listening moods, and limit it to genres. So since I like rock and trance, I can set a trance playlist and a rock playlist. That way when I wanna hear rock I can, without a random trance song being thrown in there. And when I want to listen to trance, it won’t be interrupted by some rock song, which would just totally ruin the mood. :)
It’s also nice to be able to find out tons of info about the artist with one or two clicks. If I hear a song I’ve never heard before, I can see a picture of the band that sings it, rate the song, the artist, the album, buy the album online, see videos from the artist, find out what their tour schedule is, other artists like them, and on and on. It’s like super-radio!

Cool…I think I’m going to sign up for it later today. The price seems really reasonable. It does stink that you need to use IE but I guess its not too big of deal, its really just a tiny window. But thats cool that you signed up :D. I feel all significant now that I helped someone out, lol.
