Why Rate Music?
Rating music helps you discover new music, and enjoy more of what you like.
Each rating helps improve and focus your customized music, your personalized recommendations and the music played on your LAUNCHcast radio station. Use the 4-star rating tool where ever you see it on Yahoo! Music to rate songs, artists, albums or videos. Drag your mouse over the tool and highlight one to four stars and then click.
Rating for your customized LAUNCHcast station
The primary way to influence your station is by rating music (artist, albums, songs, and genres). Generally, the more music you rate, the better your Yahoo! LAUNCHcast station becomes at choosing music for you.
A good way to start rating is by visiting the genre ratings page.
Rate your favorite genres and sub-genres highly. You might also search for your favorite artists, go to their artist pages and rate them highly.
As you listen, the Yahoo! Launchcast Player displays the reason why the song was selected. This information is designed to help you tune your profile to assist us in providing you with music you enjoy. If a song is chosen because it was recommended by fans of another artist, lower that artist's overall rating. Only artists that you rate 4 stars (90) or above are used for this recommendation feature.
