Music Unlimited is a great idea, but their software is very buggy and quite frequently doesn't work. It returns random unspecified error messages. The only way to contact support when these errors do occur is to either e-mail them or fill out an... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~405750582916 Tue, 16 Oct 2007 23:37:39 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_405750582916?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_401452011140?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author uniquename - I've been a subscriber to the Yahoo! Music Unlimited service for two years. I subscribed initially because Yahoo's pricing was significantly lower than competitors. Here are the highlights of my experience: 1.

It is cheaper that way and at the time, said I could cancel at any time and get a refund for any unused time. However, since then the cost of the service went up by almost 50% and... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~373773143684 Sat, 9 Jun 2007 18:52:12 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_373773143684?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_337779592836?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author cominghome - With the Yahoo! Music To Go subscription, you can listen to unlimited full length tracks and also transfer them to your mp3 player for the monthly price equal to the cost of purchasing a CD. Overall, it’s ok–but not great. There are some areas in... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~337779592836 Sat, 24 Mar 2007 00:04:25 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_337779592836?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_330950086276?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author kiko_cat - For me this service is perfect. I know some people don't like the idea that basically you are renting the music but for me its well worth it for so many reasons, including being able to sample music that I otherwise wouldn't even hear since I can't... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~330950086276 Sun, 11 Mar 2007 01:46:00 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_330950086276?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_299622174340?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author peace55 - I signed up for Yahoo Online Music then cancelled my membership within the "free 14 day trial period" after realizing the limitations of Yahoo Music service - you can download to very few MP3 players, can't burn to CD w/o paying more, etc. Yahood... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~299622174340 Sun, 31 Dec 2006 12:27:29 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_299622174340?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_250962546308?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author christyml - I was billed on my credit card for $59.99 for Yahoo! Music. I have never downloaded a song. Apparently I must have checked out the service several years ago. After I saw it on my bank statement, I called and said - "look, I have never downloaded a song... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~250962546308 Fri, 1 Sep 2006 11:35:01 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_250962546308?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_245939867268?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author gtrfan - Worst shopping experience ever. I bought the service to download to my Creative Zen. It worked great at first, but now it will not load subscription songs onto the Zen. I've done EVERYTHING listed on the web site to troubleshoot.

The concept was great and I was willing to put up with a lot of the issues until they increased the fees from $6/month to $12/month. 1.

Sounded like a great gift, although rather expensive for two preteens. I had four main problems with the service (or lack there-of). 1) The... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~238419414660 Sun, 25 Jun 2006 11:35:18 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_238419414660?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_232484802180?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author rgoudie - I have been a fan of LAUNCHcast since 2001. I have built up a sizeable ratings base that causes my station to play music that I tend to enjoy. Yahoo eventually bought LAUNCHcast.

From browsing their site, it seems they have a pretty good collection of artists; every thing I could think... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~221806562948 Fri, 24 Feb 2006 21:42:19 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_221806562948?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_217766334084?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author csphipps - Unacceptable 1: Corrals you into a one year subscription, but doesn't do pro-rated refunds. And they are definately not pointing this out up front. There's a 7 day grace period, but that's not nearly enough time. It took me over 2 weeks just to... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~217766334084 Sun, 15 Jan 2006 15:43:07 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_217766334084?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_211100274308?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author aaabbb111 - Yahoo Music Unlimited service was great at first. The sound quality was great, and everything worked as it should--- I was able to sync my music files to my Dell DJ and carry them whereever I go.

When you're in your 20's, you're tied into the music buzz --- new artists, new songs, clubs, tips from friends. But as I grew... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~208485387908 Sat, 15 Oct 2005 12:25:16 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_208485387908?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_194199719556?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author alopeke - I would continue looking at this point in the game. Ever heard of the phrase "you get what you pay for?" There is no better way to put this.
