I have found a better music player than Launch. It may not have the ability to skip 5 songs on Launch but at least it consistently works for me and it has Digital music, and doesn't repeat the same 40 songs ad infinitum. It is XM radio on AOL and is completely free. I wholeheartedly reccomend it if you are tired of the garbage Launch puts you through: AOL radio |

Are you aware of the amount of problems AOL software causes? not to mention the amount of reporting back it does?
They are as bad as microsoft.

No worries,
I really can't believe that AOL are still trying this crap. its bad enough that their ISP software screws over systems now they are going to try and lauch software there really is no need for.

Oh, while we're at it (muahaha, post hijacking from a mod!  ), do anyone have a good tip for a free media player? WMP is starting to cause weird problems (when I play WC3 and I've played through an entire playlist WC3 starts spikeing like mad for a few minutes, and it never quite recovers to where it was before. This has never happened before), Übereil |

I use WMP 11.0.6000.6344 with no problems. I really liked Media Jukebox a couple of versions back, but you could check out the current version (I have forgotten why I don't use it anymore).
And I also would not trust AOL.

WinAmp is good. Real Player is good if you don't mind having to disable it after use.

I trust AOL as technically this isn't my laptop, the school still owns this laptop even though I can purchase it at the end of the year, and I mainly use this to surf the net, watch movies, listen to music and type papers, rarely for anything else so performance isn't an issue. If my computer significantly slows down in a week. I may change back but overall Launch is a total [Censored] to work with. I like that I can actually listen to music for 5 minutes without having to reset the thing, AOL opens up in the same window and not a new one like launch. Well worth the risk of slowdown and spyware in my opinion.

WinAmp would be my recommendation, Ube. But i also use WMP and have no problem with it (Everyone look shocked, it is a microsoft product afterall) which version of WMP are you using and on which OS?

V 9 IIRC. I never bothered updateing it  . It used to have such nice trivia libaries, but they removed those.  Oh well, WinAmp works fine. Übereil |
