This certainly helped me as I was still sort of fumbling around in the dark. This is one cool device and even though I've only had it for a week I have already gotten more enjoyment out of it than any other MP3 player type device. I am also big into Sat Radio and I have decided that I am at least going to cancel XM. I'll probably keep SIRIUS to use in the car and for other programming not available via Yahoo. Zing had done a very good job on the interface in terms of stability. Looking forward to a long term relationship with Yahoo Music and my Sansa Connect Device. What can I say, I've been Zinged and Yahoo'ed.. LOL Also you guys complaining about YMJ, man there is a time and a place and this isn't it. Thanks for the valueble Sansa Connect useability post.

It's sad that new product announcements are met with complaints but it goes to show how upset longtime users are with the main YMJ. Even media players from 1995 can remember column preferences and icon view V. list view. I was enticed by the cheap price for 2 years of YMU. Now I am starting to feel like I am getting what I paid for. No features have been added. All we get are bug fixes and a service that doesn't compare to Rhapsody or Urge. YMJ 3.0 needs to come out sooner than later and work well. Bios, reviews, recommendations, editorial content like topical playlists and celebrity interviews. Lyrics, videos. PHONE SUPPORT. I am severely disappointed with the service thus far. I completely agree with Jamie.

Music Jukebox -- there was a conflict with Y! Toolbar (and also 3rd party plugins) that caused this. The latest version of YMJ should have fixed it. (ans also make sure you ave the very latest toolbar version) http://music.yahoo.com/jukebox Sorry for the trouble that caused.. Regarding the issue of Yahoo!

But at the same time, I'd hate to see Yahoo keep 'adding extra chrome and cupholders' and forget about the engine itself. The biggest selling point for me to select Yahoo over other on-line sources was cost. Now that I've used the service for quite some time, I get a bit jealous over what the other providers have for only a few dollars more. Even with the latest build, the Yahoo player has some significant areas for improvement (slowness, stability issues, memory usage), most have which have been enumerated here before. I hope that Yahoo understands that a portion of it's customer base does not share the same energy level for new features (lyrics being another example), but would rather have a quality product first, then work on the bells and whistles. Don't get me wrong, Yahoo Music is a great service, with a great price-point, but there is still work to be done to the core product, and I'd hate to see too much of the resources spent on a niche rather than the core.

Ever since the last update, on 3 different computers, it has the exact same problem, it keeps restarting the program when you exit. The only way to escape the loop of restarting is to task manager the 3 yahoo processes, but even then, it will sometimes just start back up for no reason a few minutes later. I can't use the contact us page in yahoo help because they changed it and now it requires an activex control. At first, with firefox, it didn't work at all, but I tried it and installed the activex control in IE and submitted my problem, but it came back with an error and did not submit the problem. So, yahoo broke the program AND they broke the only way for people to say there is a problem. The people that make YMJ must not actually USE it because otherwise they would notice this huge horrible error in the program that keeps it restarting. The version on all 3 of my pcs is 2.1.0.174 and it did not restart before on any of them, its this version! Please someone get this message to Yahoo so they can actually fix it!!!

Music Jukebox is windows only, and I don't have a windows machine (nor do I want one). When will Yahoo! Music Jukebox support linux or Mac OS? I'd like to hear more about your recommender, in particular how Yahoo evaluates the recommender. You say 'trust me, it's amazing' but, I really don't know you or your music tastes. What if I don't like the music the recommender puts on the device? So please tell me more about how you decide that your recommender is 'amazing'. - Paul I’d love to give the sansa a try but the Yahoo!
