New player features - station launch & volume consistency

Good news!

We've listened to your comments and are pleased to announce that a new version of the AOL Radio player is now live which contains two features you have asked us for:
  • Launch to Previously Listened to Station - Now when you launch the AOL Radio player from the "Listen Now" button on the Radio Guide main page, you will be taken to the last station you previously listened to. You will no longer be taken to a random station when you click on the "Listen Now" button and thus, no more annoying pop music if you don't want it!
  • More Consistent Volume Across Songs and Ads - The volume level across ads and songs playing on the stations will now be at a more consistent level.
We are continuing to make improvements to the player so keep tuned to the blog here for more information.

NOTE: If you are not seeing the station launch to your last listened to station, you will thus have to clear your cache in order to get this to work. Click on the link below to find out instructions on how to do this.
