Prob old to everyone out there but..

[MrVicchio]

Dedenimuls and I were playing WoW the other day and she asked if I had a radio tucked away somewhere so we could listen to some tunes while we played. I don't actually have one, my best stereo is my PC...

I normally play my 300 .mp3's through winamp.. but I got the impression my music selection was getting stale for her.

So she suggested Yahoo Launch..

I had NEVER heard of this. So we logged in and started listening (Coincidently, suscom, my ISP just opened my pipe from 756k DL to 7 Megs.. I got the notice in the mail.. that day actually)

So we were listening and the free "medium" quality was not all that great, I could hear the distortion and such. So I dropped the 3.99 and subscribed for a month, besides, I detest commercials. WOW.

What a difference. So now we play WoW and jam to what ever we are in the mood for. If we are playing our alt Rogues.. Industrial fits. When it's just me, I leave it on Classic Rock and am happy as a clam.

Anyone else use this service??

I occasionally use the Yahoo Launch on the messenger, but mostly I use my 3000+ song collection on WMP/WA.

I have Yahoo Launchpad. It rocks - you don't have to listen to a bunch of utter garbage and utter shit.

Like, as if, shah... as an example, if I want to hear some good old ass-kicking White Zombie, I don't have to suffer a bunch of crybaby pseudo-emo pussy Linkin Park horseshit in order to enjoy one good tune. I don't need to wade through thirty minutes of fake hiphop and pseudo-rap and pop-punk sell-outs if I feel like listening to 'variety' music.

And metal is metal. Not a bunch of lamer former dot-coms who got sold into slavery because their I-heart-wookies.com website failed miserably, and so now they're raging against the machine because no one gave a shit about their angst and prison rape. Just pure raw fucking original skull-crushing metal, by real metal-heads.

I use Real Rhapsody, same thing really. Pay a sub and get a ton of music at your fingertips.

[MrVicchio]

It just makes playing games like WoW even more fun.

I really cant help but laugh when reading your post and then seeing your signature.

Anyways, you'll all enjoy this winamp/shoutcast radio station X-Net Radio. www.xnetradio.com Alternative / Rock station. They have talk-shows occasioanlly. Its got a wonderful broadband stream at 128kb quality.

Dude, I have yahoo mail, and I've never paid a cent for launch. Assuming that launch is the yahoo music service.

I used to goto this one website but I forgot the name, and it was free and excatly the same basicly. You rate music and it plays stuff you might like. It was great.

My DSL connection is subscribed with SBC which uses Yahoo...and I don't pay one red cent for it. Oh and I use Launchcast at work and home. At first I hated it, but when I started rating the music, it wasn't long before it was playing what I wanted. :rock:

[MrVicchio]

Yeah but the diff between Medium Quality and Hi is... day and night.

I will pay the 4 bucks, it's more then worth it.

I get Hi quality and no commercials. Think its included as part of the "package" that SBC offers.

[OneManArmy]

either way thank you for turning me on to it. when I'm not gaming I love to leave it on the comedy channel its awsome.

[firecrackerNC]

I remember what I used. Was called www.echo.com i believe. It rocked.
