Both AOL radio and Yahoo! Launchcast are now powered by CBS radio and are compatible with Firefox. Even though I used to share the annoyance of Yahoo ostracizing Linux users (yeah, there’s no IE tab trick there, you’re just screwed), I have to admit I’m glad they finally made the switch. Yahoo music is working for Linux users! Finally!

…better stick with AOL Radio… works with all platforms. (not the same as launchcast of course but works great)

I agree, I personally have listened to Yahoo Music for more than five years so when I started using FF I loved it. I missed the IE Tab add on it suck that it’s not compatible for the newest FF3. I would start using Pandora but it took three years of listening and rating music to get my radio station the way I like it. I suppose it’s because FireFox is alleged with Google and Yahoo and Google are competitors so. BLAH! T_T

Yeah right … from the Pandora website:

“We are deeply, deeply sorry to say that due to licensing constraints, we can no longer allow access to Pandora for listeners located outside of the U.S.”

So … Yahoo still doesn’t support Firefox on mac/linux, and Pandora doesn’t allow us to listen anymore … seems like a lose/lose situation.
