i don't remember the nascent days of launchcast pre-yahoo. i probably tried it and promptly forgot it. perhaps someone here was an early adopter and can fill in the specifics, but i do remember trying similar and also short lived services that were really "hyper request" streams. they used propriatary players and weren't open ended web based single unit delivery systems like the new napster. to further along the analogy this is not as much instant request radio as it is internet juke boxing. quarter in, select song, play, repeat. except you don't need the jukebox, because it works in your browser, and of course, you don't need the quarter.
