Fortunately for Windows users, there's a workaround. (This doesn't work for Launchcast Radio, just for the music videos.)

Yahoo! Music (aka Y! Music aka Y! Launch aka Launch.com) officially requires the use of Internet Explorer to view its videos. You will receive the following message if you try to access it Firefox or Mozilla Suite:

To use this application with Netscape, you must use version 7.1 or above. Download now. 
Please use the following error code when writing to Yahoo! Help. (Error Code: 12)

Contact them and ask them to support Firefox and Mozilla Suite.

Fortunately there's a workaround. (This doesn't work for Launchcast Radio, just for the music videos.)

You should now be able to access the videos.
