I tried Launch.com a long time ago, because I was persuaded that it was the coolest thing on the block - streaming radio! you can rate the stuff you like! wow! However, all it really did was teach me the evils of Java apps and I abandoned it after it slowed my system, kept playing stuff I didn't like, and was generally crappy. Years later, most of my co-workers (at least, those with soundcards) are listening to it again, and I thought I'd give it another shot.

I love it. No Java app, it's been playing all the good stuff for the past 2 hours ... I think it's most telling that what I'm afraid of at this point is that I'm going to accidentally close the window.
