YOU ARE BEING TERMINATED!
WT XXXX!
I just started a 2 year subscription Dec 07. Will this continue thru Dec 09 with rhapsody (tried them but chose yahoo)? Or will I be able to finish my plan with Yahoo?

Thanks Guys will miss the service!

(From a loyal LAUNCHCast listener here for many years.)

Recently, I joined Facebook.com and added the iLike application to my profile. I needed to hear music as I browse through the fun resources and find my friends.

It will be very cool if you are able to make Yahoo Music LAUNCHcast application compatible with Facebook. I can then remove iLike and add my LAUNCHcast music to my profile. This can also benefit other loyal LAUNCHcast listeners.

Your thoughts?? Thanks!

Best wishes,

NOW – I guess I might be out the $200 bucks I spent for these players. That sucks. Like others – I’ve really been loyal to Yahoo – never wavering – I didn’t jump all over google. My home page goes to Yahoo on every computer I use, whether personal, or business.

What will happen to the Sansa Connect? Will I be able to use it?

But, I did like the service and did shell out $140 on my mastercard (remember? – the buy one year on MC, get the second year free) for a 2 year subscription about 6 months ago.

I wonder what this means for me? My guess is that the answer won’t come easy.

I’d like an answer to the Sansa Connect question please. Are you going to migrate that to Rhap too? Or is that another hunk of change for me to flush? I use the streaming more than the MP3 playing. I sure ain’t touching a Zune any time soon.

I understand the business side of a service like this but at least think this stuff through and give us complete information will ya.

“1. Are you going to add major new releases on YMU until its demise or is YMU effectively dead for these releases until the switchover?
2. You state the following:
“We hope being able to take your Yahoo! Music Unlimited collection to the best subscription service on the Web — the one which works on PC or Mac, Firefox or Safari as well as TiVo, Sonos, etc. — at the Yahoo! Music Unlimited price, is an acceptable outcome.”
Published reports say this will be for a “limited time”. Can you be more specific?
3. You also suggest that there will be an (easy?) migration. Can you elaborate?”

Considering the Microsoft buyout, this is sure a funny time for this to happen.

I’ve written a long reaction post to this at our website, chaseandsam.com

I do appreciate that you are being upfront about the situation, and offering refunds for those who opt out of the merger.

If the tranfer to Rhapsody does not include the use of my custom radio option, I will be requesting a refund.

For the information about the refund. I still can’t believe yahoo is selling us out to the AOL of the music world, Real Networks. Real Networks is the creator of Rhapsody and Real Player.

I’m sitting here and re-evaluating all my yahoo software and my desire to continue using them. That would include things such as yahoo widget engine. I don’t know what I’m going to do at this point.

And to the person who asked about the Sansa Connect… Amazon.com just dropped the price of the 4 gig sansa from $249 to $85. I’ll bet you feel doubly gyped now.

By August 31,2007 they were shutting down the old service and having the users migrate to a new and better product and service! Yahoo Jukebox.

Yahoo Jukebox was not an upgrade! It was a downgraded product compared to the old MMJB. Yahoo should have been ashamed for trying to pass it off as a professional product.

Not even six months has passed and the services are being pealed away. Dumping their customers onto another service provider.

But, they sure seem confident about their new purchase of Foxy Tunes. I have used it and found it to be a good product. Now that Yahoo has their hands on it, we can only hope that they don’t butcher it like MMJB.

I would not even hazard a guess at a time table for it’s mutilation. After all, it might end up being in the hands of Microsoft!

Ian, I think you are a good guy in a bad place – having to announce this awful change at the same time that Microsoft is breathing down on Yahoo. Hope you end up with something good out of this.

But for me it is bye-bye Yahoo Music and hello Amazon MP3 downloads.

I hope this helps. I understand your frustration and apologize.

Did you ever consider that your music service didn’t bring in the numbers you’d hope for – because the users had a perfectly wonderful app & service literally ripped from their hands, then given a mediocre player & service in it’s place.

Thanks for nothing, please cancel any & all Yahoo accounts, services, etc. that I may be subscribing to.

Here is my situation:

1. I am a YMU subscriber with a yearly subscription that expires im May. I am paying $5.99/month.
2. I saw the writing on the wall and signed up for a 14-day trial of Rhapsody. Since their service is more expensive ($12.99), I decided at go all in and got To Go at $14.99.
3. I spent a good part of Saturday adding artists to my Rhapsody library.

My questions are as follows:

1. Are you going to add major new releases on YMU until its demise or is YMU effectively dead for these releases until the switchover?
2. You state the following:
“We hope being able to take your Yahoo! Music Unlimited collection to the best subscription service on the Web — the one which works on PC or Mac, Firefox or Safari as well as TiVo, Sonos, etc. — at the Yahoo! Music Unlimited price, is an acceptable outcome.”
Published reports say this will be for a “limited time”. Can you be more specific?
3. You also suggest that there will be an (easy?) migration. Can you elaborate?

And the most important question for me:

4. Should I cancel my 14-day trial at Rhapsody? Will a migration be more beneficial to me?
