Yahoo Music Jukebox is a fully featured media player an organizer with many powerful features. Its features include CD ripping and burning, access to LAUNCHcast and the Yahoo! Music Unlimited music subscription service, playlist creation, transfer of music to select portable devices such as mp3 players and USB flash drives. The program allows Yahoo! Messenger users to stream music to one another (not to be confused with uploading and downloading or filesharing) and browse one another's playlists. Only those subscribed to Yahoo! Unlimited can add entire songs to their collections, however. The engine also has a number of plugins available for free download from the program's official website. The programming interfaces for the engine are open; anyone may create a plug-in or skin to modify the behavior of the engine.

Yahoo Music Jukebox is a pretty neat app. Before WMP11 I used it as my main player, but now I just do not see the point, unless you are buying music from Yahoo. Hasn't yahoo had DRM free stuff for a while?

why is it that more and more music applications look like i tunes

#2.1 LOC on 08 Apr 2007 - 20:00

Considering Yahoo Music Jukebox is Musicmatch, and Musicmatch was out years before iTunes was even developed, I'd say iTunes ripped off Musicmatch

#2.2 _MacGyver_ on 08 Apr 2007 - 21:35

Yea but music match looked nothing like itunes then. Since itunes came out, it's slowly morphed into a cheapo clone...

There are better programs then iTunes. I dont like installing MAC software on my pc. iTunes takes up too much memory and needs to convert all your files first. I have been using Media Monkey which is great and you can right click on a song and download the album art right from Amazon. it organizes your music also and tags everything properly.

Just one question: Can Y!JB do this what iTunes does? http://wmwiki.com/mcored/research/wmp/itun...ibrary-best.avi

I am quite sure you had a point, unfortunately though...you didn't make it.

lostOnes,
I think you were just to slow to catch it. McoreD was asking if it automatically organized music folders. Like renames, moves and deletes the old folders when a song is modified or deleted.

I haven't seen a feature in Yahoo!'s Jukebox like that. That's one of the great features of iTunes.

I am desperate for a new media player and I can't find one that doesn't suck. It shouldn't be this difficult.

#5.1 Vettetech on 09 Apr 2007 - 02:29

I think Windows Media Player is good and I use Media Monkey to organize and tag my songs.

Quote - (Vettetech said @ #5.1)

I'm using WMP11 right now, but it kinda just "sucks less than the rest". iTunes doesn't handle large libraries well so that won't work, and Foobar ...well, I don't feel like having to fight with my media player that much. I'll give Media Monkey a shot now.
