Launch not only beat Pandora to the market, but IMHO provided a better product. I always got better lay lists from launch than I get from pandora. Just posting to say that I still miss the Launchcast.

It looks like the only one left is Taiwan - the one hitch being I don't speak Chinese. Urk. They’ve “improved” Yahoo Music Canada.

I wonder if there is any chance they will bring back "my station?"

It sounds like luanchcast is less than a month from being officially dead. There’s now a message on the Australian site that it’s is going to be “relaunched” in July.
