I like Yahoo! 'cause it usually has great options for Canadian users - something I can't say of any other music/web service. Hopefully once the beta's over, I won't see this message on most videos. The potential for the app is incredible, however, intriguing! “The content you are trying to view is only available in certain areas.” I like Yahoo! ’cause it usually has great options for Canadian users - something I can’t say of any other music/web service.

Your paying customers are not happy with the product, not to the point of walking away, but to the point of seriously kicking the tires of other products. In a recent blog entry regarding the possibility of YMJ's costs increasing (day without music), I wound think that the vast majority of resources should be focused on retaining their existing customer base, or maybe the value of a facebook mashup and a picture collage is worth more than the current customer needs. I don't mean that with sarcasm, as I don't know your business model and we all have internal goals that need to be met. If YMJ were to continue to improve the core product, and your pricing needs to be increased by X%, some would gladly pay as they would see the value in loyalty due to the proven commitment from the developers to continue to enhance the core product. But, if the price were to increase, a portion of your customers will leave for other providers. Maybe this is acceptable, maybe not, but I think the decision is up to Yahoo.

Mashups are challenging because they involve multiple colliding technologies. In this case, not only would we be combining the Facebook and Yahoo APIs, which are very different, but I would need to be working in both PHP and Flash Actionscript, and I’d need to do a little image rendering on the back-end. I had been hired by Yahoo! pretty much on the strength of the mashups I had created with Flickr, using those same technologies, so here was a chance to exercise those skills, but also to get to know a new platform I had little familiarity with,” wrote Jim Bumgardner of Yahoo!

I know where you're coming from, but giving paying customers more than bug fixes is important. would it kill you to put artist bios on the artist pages in YMJ?! not asking for much. thanks for taking the time to reply ian.

And I also use the Video service a lot. I've even gotten about 3 or 4 people to sign up for 2 years of Yahoo! Unlimited. At this point it just seems like the Jukebox has gotten the short end of the developer stick. I think it's cool that one developer did the Facebook app, I put it on my page and considering Yahoo tried to buy Facebook we all know that site is very important, I just we wish got more communication in general from everyone else as to the update of YMJ. Real Player said our beta will available at the end of June and it built up excitement. I'm not expecting you to do what Real is doing, just give us an idea of when releases are coming. Icon View vs. List View Column and column size preferences 0-100 rating scale Those 3 things are pre-1.0 bugs that should be fixed. Thanks I use the Radio service, a lot.

Those 3 things are pre-1.0 bugs that should be fixed.

Note from the article that one engineer worked on this. We have many many more engineers working on YMJ. YMJ 2.1 is significantly more stable than previous versions. We made a decision to listen to what our users were asking us for and simply make what was there work more reliably rather than piling on more features. Sorry if that didn't come through, wasn't appreciated, or if you just didn't see the improvement in your case. The team worked incredibly hard on the improvements and literally hundreds of bugs were knocked out. But do me a favor and don't hate every time we do something that isn't YMJ. Pre-dating YMJ we have the #1 Music Web site, #1 Music Video service, and #1 Internet Radio service and if we don't keep evolving them they won't be #1 for long. We need to work on a number of fronts. We are not just a subscription service. Thanks for your understanding. ian Resource and Buchananmb,

I respect your ability to whip together a quick app however this is just another thing added that doesnt do crap for the Yahoo Music Jukebox which I am growing seriously frustrated with. I pay to use this and Im so frustrated that I am about to sign up for Rhapsody. YMJ is missing - Yahoo Music Videos - Podcasts - Lyrics (which the site now has) - The ability to remember column preferences - The ability to remember I want name view and not icon view. The software is HORRIBLE and yet you are making Facebook apps? When is the next version coming? Is Yahoo! giving up on YMJ? Let me know so I can start making my move. My thoughts exactly.

YMJ is missing

- Yahoo Music Videos

- Podcasts

- Lyrics (which the site now has)

- The ability to remember column preferences

- The ability to remember I want name view and not icon view.

The software is HORRIBLE and yet you are making Facebook apps?

When is the next version coming?
Is Yahoo! giving up on YMJ?

Let me know so I can start making my move.
