Even More Yahoo! Unlimited Problems

Permalink | Comment (0) ~ Internet - music

Ugh… I’m now of the opinion that Yahoo! Unlimited (Yahoo!’s subscription music service) is not worth the $60/year fee. In fact, I don’t even know if I’d use Yahoo! Unlimited for free.

The latest problem is that I can’t transfer music to any of my portable devices. Yahoo! Unlimited used to work with my Dell Axim, but now all I get is this error message. Fark!


Even that is better than the experience that I got trying to transfer songs to my SMT-5600 Audiovox Smartphone. Yes, this device is on Yahoo!’s “approved” list, but not for my computer system. I never got my Audiovox to work with the service.

Oh, then there are all the times that the music client crashes or hangs. That has the added benefit of bring down all of your IE windows. A nice bonus “feature.” And the client is slow, UI confusing, blah, blah, blah.

I’m going to start taking a look at Rhapsody Unlimited, and see if I can get some of my money back from Yahoo!.

P.S. Mr. Jobs, please come out with a subscription service that I can use with my soon-to-be-purchased Nano.
