The best defense is attack: Goobuntu or Google Linux…

Microsoft has openly declared that its bid to acquire Yahoo aims at improving their position in advertisement and fight the dominant position of Google. Do not expect Google to remain quiet.
What are Google options to defend from Microsoft, apart from…

My old MusicMatch program used to look up MP3 tags via Gracenote. Once Yahoo released their own upgraded version of MM, I had to upgrade to get this feature back. Now that Y!M seems to have gone kaput, does anyone know what other players have this feature ??? It makes ripping my home CD’s much easier without all of the typing. I don’t feel like having to pay for another player when I have a perfectly good one now.

Soon there will be one company and one country for all. Will it be Microsoft (Hillary) or Google (Obama)?

I just saw this article today (Feb 5, 2008), and I’m using Yahoo Music Unlimited right now. Radio, downloaded tracks, and streaming tracks all work fine.

I also never heard anything from Yahoo saying they were shutting down the service.

What about those of us who paid for the lifetime support option on MMJB when we bought it before Yahoo bought MusicMatch? Do we get any kind of return for our guarentee. My lifetime has not expired.

I don’t think paying more for unlimited access is going to entice anyone these days with imeem, deezer, spiralfrog and now last.fm offering some sort of free service. Now people might pay for the right to download (assuming that download isn’t on spiralfrog or qtrax that’s certainly a possibility.

Of course this whole ad supported thing may just be a short term experiment, the labels might decide to terminate agreements, or the companys might just discover the whole thing is not going to break even. I wouldn’t be surprised if spiralfrog and qtrax just give up because deals structured around downloads cost more.

I see the streaming only services – imeem, deezer and last.fm have a real chance to build a sustainable ad supported model. Although I also think that deezer will have to negotiate some new deals or find itself shut down.

To be honest I see only imeem and last.fm making the ad supported music model work in the long term. but as long as one of them does then the premium subscription will be a hard sell.

Have never really taken much time to study Yahoo’s Music offerings, but how does their current catalogue compare to Rhapsody? Also, why would someone want to pay MORE to get unlimited access…i thought we were moving in the other pricing direction…

Hooray. Yahoo Music was (at least for me) slow and buggy. Much better selection at Rhapsody. Now…I wonder what happens with my ‘integrated’ Sansa Connect player?

That’s too bad. I know their music service gets hated on at Tech Crunch… but I am a paying subscriber and LOVE the service. So this sucks.

Also, what about yearly subscribers?

I signed up for YahooMusic with their Mastercard offer (buy one year in advance, get second year free).

Like others, I’m confused why no e-mail has been sent or notice posted to paying subscribers.

This is going to be a pain in the rear to sort out.
