1. I just installed it and I like the new skin for the pages. Hopefully it will run as well as 2.1 did on vista.

2. nice! maybe a small update code-wise, but it’s huge to me as a customer. the new UI stuff is way easier on the eyes and definitely freshens the app. way less purple in this release! artist pages are more logically organized, and I love tabs for songs/albums. so much easier. you mentioned autoplay, and even though it’s something we could already do (similar song/artist playlist), I think re-packaging the feature makes it way more fun. also the right-click menus are more logical and useful (better go to options). it’s nice to be able to page through similar artists on the artist page! would be even nicer if scrolling influenced the similar artist playlist. thanks for giving us some new candy!

3. A very good step forward.

   Keep these point releases coming.

4. How about a “Check for updates” option in jukebox? I’m sick of doing the full reinstall, it takes forever. And the prompt for new versions only comes up periodically – and usually not when you want it to.

5. Hmmm, I have Vista 64 and ymjsetup.exe still gives the same error it did before when I try to install. (It says I need XP SP2, IE6, etc…). Has anyone out there successfully done a Vista 64 install?

   This sounds like an excellent update, and I’m looking forward to trying it!

6. Any way you can get the Yahoo Radish guy back? He’s one reason I signed up for the service last year.

7. I have installed Yahoo Music Jukebox on my Vista x64 OS and had no problems whatsoever.

8. I still can’t install this either. I get the same error as I did before. Vista 64 is running on AMD x2 2gb of ram if that helps any.

9. [...] – Improved handling of album art lookups for local MP3 tracks – Fixed a memory leak that would spring when YMJ was playing for a very long time – Jukebox 2.2 should now install and run on 64-bit Vista systems – When the player is maximized the close gadget X is now clickable all the way up to the upper right corner of the screen.

10. With this new update I can’t “Select All”

    For instance, in an album view, I often select all the songs and add them to a “to listen to” playlist.

    -I can’t click and drag to select all the songs.
    -There used to be a Select All in the right-click menu, but it’s not there anymore.
    -The Select all in the edit menu doesn’t work

    Another problem – when I’m viewing a playlist, my ratings are not applied to the list of songs. The ratings are applied when viewing and artist or album page.

    Suggestion – The right click context menu is getting a little crazy:
    Too many menu items that aren’t really “context” dependent. For instance – “Recent searches” should be integrated into the search bar via a dropdown on one side of it. Recent searches doesn’t need to be in the context menu.
    Auto play might be a cool new feature, but you don’t need to have it in the context menu either

11. I recently switched to a Mac and I feared that I’d lose access to Y! Music. As luck would have it though, I installed XP under VMWare Fusion and Y! Music Jukebox works flawlessly. In Fusion’s Unity mode, it blends in perfectly on the OS X desktop. Loading time, cpu %, and sound quality are all great!

14. I finally updated my Jukebox — and Yay! It’s such a pleasure to use it now. Fast, non-crashy, convenient. Thank you for the changes.

    For a bit it even looked like you ripped out Internet Explorer as the rendering engine, but it looks like it’s still IE. Thanks for making it behave!

17. It does work on 64 bit. After damn near an hour of trying to get it to work, I finally found a way to get the raw installer (it installs jukebox, doesn’t do an operating system check)

    Works perfectly. Enjoy.
