We are presently negotiating with some of the major record labels to resolve a dispute over licensing music for LAUNCHcast. This is why the catalog available for your station is now 150,000 songs, and you\’re not hearing all artists you might have rated highly. However, please note that you still have access to the entire catalog of 225,000+ songs by listening to fan stations of your favorite artists via the artist pages.
As I said last post, Yahoo! Music was really drving me crazy with it’s song selection. So I went searching around to see if there was a reason I wasn’t getting to listen to the artist I ranked — other than the fact that I wouldn’t use the paid service and I was over my “monthly bandwidth”. Well there was. This just annoys me. The record industry makes enough money as it is — I’m talking about the companies and the executives, not the musicans — they don’t need more. Didn’t they also want more money from Apple as well? Talk about a monopoly.
