Customizing My Station

My Station is a customized radio station created for you by LAUNCHcast Radio. LAUNCHcast Radio reviews the music you have rated highly and creates My Station. LAUNCHcast Radio also looks at your influencer's music and adds some of the music they've recommended to My Station.

The more music you rate, the more you'll enjoy listening to My Station.

 

Here’s How

  1. Click LAUNCHcast Radio (The LAUNCHcast Radio icon) in the left navigation pane.

    Tip: LAUNCHcast Radio creates My Station based on the music you have rated. If you haven't rated any music, you'll be asked to customize a radio station. If you have rated music, click My Station.

  2. Click the Customize button.

    Click the Customize button to create a customized radio station.

    The Personalization Wizard opens.
