I have a 2-year account with Yahoo Music Unlimited and need to know if I should cancel my subscription (I switched to mac a while ago and have few ways now of taking advantage of my subscription), or if the Rhapsody transfer is coming soon I will want to keep my subscription. Please let me know, or at least where I can go to get more information on the migration.

I've asked customer service this question three times and they were not able to answer it. Can one of you please settle this question that is in the minds of thousands of frantic YMJ users? What's going to happen to our ratings?! Will my 20,000+ song ratings be transferred to Rhapsody? I’ve asked customer service this question three times and they were not able to answer it.

So that's good news at least. I get the impression that Yahoo! and Rhapsody joined up a long time ago and this is the first time that it has been announced. At a glance, the two seem to have the same features. I have been noticing that Yahoo! is losing the rights to albums and the albums I remember are on Rhapsody Unlimited.

I've always felt that Yahoo! Music was the future for online music purchasing and subscription. Although, I seem to be a minority that believes subscription to music and movies (Netflix) is the future not purchasing. Rhapsody is about twice the cost. I've always thought that Yahoo!'s pricing was good. 79 cents a song and however much a month. The other services were too high. I've also never been a fan of RealNetworks. Their software is always riddled with spyware and tends to be inefficient. And BTW, Yahoo! Music is far superior to still behind the times iTunes. Hopefully this will all work out for the best.

This player is a great first step; I'm looking forward to seeing how it evolves (hope a progress bar with FF/RWD capability is somewhere on the feature list!). Andrei Ian,
