Talk:Musicmatch Jukebox

I have musicmatch jukebox and I am beginging to hate it. I pay for plus but it keeps asking me for more money, and tell me to up grade to plus, and I can't find any other on line way to address the problem. If I find another sourse I am going to go there.

Dude, did you know, it literally, slows down CD burning if you don't have the pro version? It actually makes it slower! The bastards! Maybe that should be in the article.

I upgraded to mm 10 online for $19.99 and discovered that when I switched to a new computer and then back (to my wife's cpu), I had to re-enter the registration via Help>Registration>Enter Registration Info. Keep you registration number handy if your mm 10 software reverts to non-plus! 67.191.190.211 16:13, 20 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Neutrality issues

It's doing the same thing to me. I just want my money back. Then I can be done with it. Karen

The whole article seems written to promote this software. Additionally, it compares Musicmatch to Windows Media Player and iTunes, without mentioning any open source alternatives. Personally, as I have a lasting hatred for this software, I'll refrain from editing, but this seriously needs to be checked for POV issues.--Frenchman113 on wheels! 13:39, 29 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed, this article reads like ad-copy. 152.2.62.79 18:01, 6 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I have Musicmatch version 8.0 installed, which is much better than the new versions. unfortunately, IE7 came out today and since I installed it, Musicmatch no longer works. What a pity. 207.232.8.18 00:54, 20 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I also have Musicmatch 8, but I'm running windows 2000 so that isn't an issue for me XD

Not a bad program but requires a bit of customizing before you can use it practically. Mr toasty 01:12, 6 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

10/29/2006: There is a new issue. Just as in 2003, iTunes 7 and Musicmatch Jukebox conflict. Musicmatch will not run if iTunes 7 is installed. It is unclear which company is at fault. Does iTunes disable Musicmatch, or does Musicmatch shutdown if iTunes is installed? Yahoo support just says to uninstall iTunes and I don't know what Apple's position is. This wan't an issue with iTunes 6.

Does Anyone Else Curse Jukebox (Horrible Product with Matching Service)?

Musicmatch Jukebox gave me an error message for MONTHS (I finally eliminated every trace of the Musicmatch infestation myself). It was the type of error message that pops up in front of all other windows, the one you have to click to make disappear.

The error message appeared when I turned on my computer, started Jukebox, attempted to queued up a song and at random times. I don't like clicking on error messages, especially when they occur 109 times per session.

I reported the problem many times. I completed the idiots' troubleshooting form and sent to those tremendous fools the exact text of the error, my system specs, ad nauseum, ad infinitum. The damnable wastes of flesh gave LOTS of directions, usually none related to the problem I'd outlined again and again. Sometimes the insufferable morons included instructions meant for older versions of Windows.

The problem continued even when I uninstalled the program, deleted icons and shortcuts, and it continued once I reinstalled. Ultimately I figured out how to rid my computer of Jukebox's fecal program.

On the upside, at least the brainless ones at Musicmatch Jukebox aren't performing surgery. If those incompetents were, the patient would be dead. The world would be happier had Bin Laden hit them instead of NYC. MUCH happier.

MusicMatch Jukebox or Yahoo! Music Jukebox?

First off I don't like the new yahoo music jukebox which is a puffed up version of the original Musicmatch jukebox. It is full of a bunch of stuff like, messenger, that I personally don't want in my music player. I have used musicmatch jukebox for several years since version 7, now using 10, and would much rather use it then its replacement. I can see why some users may have difficulty using the original, givin the fact that it is not for the beginner when it comes to using custom set up features, but those custom features like tagging and file naming are the reason I like it. I maintain 14,000 music files (Full Albums ONLY)and still growing. With file tagging, naming, folder and subfolder features set, it makes the job very easy to completely organize my collection. Not to mention the lookup service, easily worth the 20 bucks for plus.(unless you enjoy manual data entry or just don't care about that stuff?) I don't like data entry but love organization. To me, its all about the music! I hope yahoo reconsiders their choice to re-invent, and maybe offer the original as well for those of us that need function not fancy. By the way only one issue with my player in 6-7 years (pre yahoo) and it was resolved quickly and to my satisfaction.

As to wether or not this artical is bias, I don't think its speaks of lies, that I can see, unless I missed the part where it says Yahoo Music Jukebox is better than the original Musicmatch Jukebox! You have be allowed to state facts without being accused of beleiving in them!

For those that had problems, my symphathy. And the comment about NYC full of dispute!!!! Mm4t4 02:37, 21 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I would even do you one better and suggest that Musicmatch be merged/redirected as well. "MusicMatch" once made the best media player on the market, but, honestly, now that they have sold out, I don't see the former company as newsworthy in and of itself. People who search Wikipedia for "MusicMatch" are interested in the MP3 player, not the defunct company. M. Frederick 10:42, 23 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Request to move/rename article

With the Yahoo! Music Jukebox now completely supplanting the Musicmatch jukebox, I would like to propose that this article to be renamed to “Yahoo! Music Jukebox” and that Musicmatch Jukebox redirect to the new page.--Kevin586 18:20, 23 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

=========

I loved the old version of Musicmatch jukebox, so much that I bought the lifetime updates. Now that it's become Yahoo! Musicmatch, I want my money back. I didn't pay to have Yahoo ads all over my pc, and my requests for support have gone unanswered. The bottom line is, Yahoo is not interested in you if you're someone who used the software as a tool to organize your music. They only want you to put more money into their music site. ~~the fool is me!~~

It gets worse. Wait until you try to make good on an upgrade. Yahoo has found a legal loop-hole that allows them to still get our money, even though we dished out $49.99 to pre-merger MusicMatch to ensure we'd never have to pay for upgrades. Yahoo will only honor mainstream upgrades, but this doesn't apply to "add-ons" which we will have to pay for. I will venture a guess that allItalic text of their upgrades will be so-called add-ons. Why do we let corporations do this to us? As this is an encyclopedia article, we should look for some sources regarding consumer satisfaction before vs. after this corporate takeover. If other MusicMatch users are anything like me, they are probably looking for a new MP3 media player. Unfortunately, I have yet to find one that offers MusicMatch's customization features. M.
