HAH! and WOOHOO!!! Albeit via a very circuitous route.Having recieved no helpful response from yahoo/launch, I joined a launchcast usergroup and left a message asking if anyone else was having a similar problem, as quite a few seemed to be having issues resulting from the unannounced launch updates.
So the forum moderator didn't approve my message, but did email me back saying my station did exist, as he could see and listen to it... and suggested that maybe I was not logged in properly.
I thought "what a load of hogwash", as I'm always logged in... never log out, but went back for another look. Still logged in... still no channel... bollox.
However, just on the offchance, I logged out and logged back in again.... success!!! There it was.
It would seem that the yahoo and launch servers are not quite as tightly linked together as they might be. I must've been logged in on the yahoo servers, but not the launch ones. It shouldn't happen, but clearly it did.
Anyway... I'm now a happy chappy again.
It's quite hard to explain just how upsetting it was to think I'd lost my station. Thing is... my taste in music is quite unusual, and there is absolutely no other place I can go, tv or radio station I can tune into, and be able to hear the music I love, or new music that I've never heard before, but very likely will like.
Without my station, my music collecting, be it on CD or mp3 would simply stop, as I wouldn't know what was good and what wasn't.
For someone who's life pretty much revolves around music... that would be a disaster.
So anyway... that's me sorted and happy again. Better get myself into gear and go get the last of the stuff I need for christmas.
