Yahoo! Canada Co. has launched Yahoo! Music, Canada, its new digital music site.
The service is designed to offer Canadians a customized listening and viewing experience through Internet radio, music videos, music news, interviews and performances.
Yahoo! Music, Canada provides music fans with a wide range of audio and video music and music-related editorial content free of charge to Yahoo! Canada registered users. Users can visit http://music.yahoo.ca to register or sign-in with their Yahoo! ID. From there music fans can begin to customize their music experience.
LAUNCHcast lets users customize their own Internet radio station to their tastes with 'My station' or listen to one of more than 70 pre-programmed radio stations categorized by theme and genre. With LAUNCHcast, users can rate artists, albums and songs to fine-tune their listening experience. High ratings mean that the artists, songs and albums you love will play often while low ratings will remove those that you don't want to hear. Each user has their own Member Station page and the ability to find other user station pages that show their music tastes.
Users also have access to an extensive library of high-quality, on-demand music videos. They can search for videos, watch the top 10, browse alphabetically, and check out the top 100 video chart, updated weekly. Continuous play video functionality creates a custom stream of videos tailored to user's preferences based on user ratings. Each user can access their My Videos page showing a list of recently watched and rated videos.
The Artist Pages have links to the artist's discography, as well as information such as album details, song details, artist biographys, interviews, music videos and news.
There's also a music news feed from Associated Press and Yahoo! Music news.
