Nothing But The Stats

Greetings and Happy Halloween you wiki witches and gigabyte goblins and bandwidth black cats, James the Yahoo Butler here, to treat – he would never deign to trick – you to a pillowcase full of slick-wrapped, sweet-tasting, much-anticipated candies. A Yahoo Sampler, if you will. You can even bob for a few Apples, if you so desire.

Of course, back across the Atlantic Ocean we celebrate Guy Fawkes Day during which time we mill about commons and ogle and gape at bonfires, but I don’t want to put any ideas in your innocent little heads. It’s a Santa Ana condition, you know.

Incidentally, by the by, the Butler is a huge fan of nineteenth century British Prime Minister Benjamin Disraeli’s adage “Never complain, never explain.” But mention must be made of the incontrovertible fact that Apple juiced us the past couple of weeks.
 

Why? Technical difficulties beyond the Butler’s ken. Something about a broken feed, a required hack, some skewed statistical reporting since remedied. Et cetera, et cetera. We now have the songs Apple had that we didn’t at the time of the check. Parity with Apple, get it? Stay tuned for the next couple of New Releases. We’ll be back on track. The fast track. We’ll strudel them.

  1. I would like to see Yahoo! continue to be aggressive with adding new songs as well as retaining existing ones. It seems that quite a few songs I downloaded a month ago are no longer available for download. I am a big fan of the subscription model but if I can only listen to a song for a month and then it’s gone, the service loses a great deal of value for me.

  2. Backing-up Yahoo! Music Jukebox Playlists.
    Is it possible, or do I have to update to the “Pro” version? If anyone knows, would you kindly provide instructions?
