Yahoo! Canada opened a new website yesterday called Yahoo! Music Canada. The digital music site offers Internet radio, music videos and news, plus interviews, performances and other music coverage. The radio service, called LaunchCast, offers 70 pre-programmed music channels classified by theme and genre. Users can also create customized radio stations and rate individual songs and artists to increase or decrease the frequency with which they are played. Users can also access an on-demand library of music videos. The site includes a continuous play function that generates a stream of videos based on the viewer's preferences. The site also includes a collection of artist pages that contain discographies, album details, song details, biographies, interviews, news and links to similar artists. Yahoo! Music Canada is located at <http://music.yahoo.ca>.
