Hi Evan and List,
If you bear the lion and make your way through the almost impossible to
navigate Winamp Library, you can find new links to the various XM/AOL Radio
Stations. I have been doing that for the last few hours and I have actually
reclaimed the following:
1940's Big Band and classics
1950's Rock and Roll
1960's Rock And Roll
1970's Rock And Roll
British Invasion
Elvis Tribute
Doo Wop Paradise.
To find this information, you can go to the Winamp Library and highlight the
AOL Radio and then use your JAWS cursor or Window-Eyes Mouse Pointer to
grope around (quite literally) for the names of the various genres and then
double-left click on them. After a few minutes, the list of result sunder
the genre you have selected will appear--down near the bottom of the
semi-virtual window.
You must then grope around for the station name and then double-left click
on it. It will then launch and you can save it to bookmark.
Now I will attempt to copy and paste these items into this message--the ones
I have mentioned above. They are very long, so if you try copying them,
then be aware that they will wrap and you must avoid spaces. (note: the
address is above the name of the stream. I have changed the stream name
from the currently playing song at the time of bookmark to something more
general.)

Subject: Not All XM Channels Are Gone from AOL
Just wanted to mention here that not all of the XM channels are gone from
AOL; so if you have bookmarks for them, you may not want to simply delete
them without checking first to see if they still work.
The channels I know of that are definitely gone that I did have bookmarks
for are Sixties on 6, Seventies on 7, Eighties on 8, Top Tracks and Deep
Tracks.
However, the bookmarks I have for Seventies Black Music, Eighties
Alternative, Psychedelic and Progressive are still working. There may well
be other channels that are working that I don't know about.
I don't know whether these channels will keep on working, or whether they
will drop out at any time. But I thought that I would mention to people that
they should check their bookmarks before deleting them, and to not just
assume that all of their XM bookmarks will no longer work.
I have signed up for the free trial of XM, and I can tell you that Winamp
bookmarks are by far the most convenient method for playing stations, so if
you have any XM bookmarks that still work, you will certainly want to use
the Winamp bookmark method to play them for as long as you can.
Evan
