Talk:Musicmatch Jukebox

message: THIS IS A MUSICMATCH JUNKBOX THAT CLOGS UP YOUR COMPUTER AND ONCE YOU FIND IT CANNOT BE COMPLETELY INSTALLED TO WHERE IT WORKS RIGHT --BECAUSE THEY WANT YOU TO BUY THE VERSION 10 -- YOU CANNOT UNINSTALL IT; THERE IS NO OPTION AND IT BLOCKS THE COMPUTER UNINSTALL FROM WORKING. THEN, TRY TO DELETE THE FILES ONE BY ONE; GOOD LUCK; THAT IS NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE. YOU ARE STILL STUCK WITH DRIVERS THAT MESS UP OTHER PROGRAMS. YAHOO IS YUKHO SO STAY AWAY FROM ANYTHING THAT HAS TO DO WITH THEM IF THEY ARE GOING TO PULL THIS MUSICPUCKY 97.120.107.132 (talk) 14:07, 9 October 2009 (UTC)

message: 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!!!!

replies: text: 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)
thread_title:  MusicMatch Jukebox or Yahoo! Music Jukebox? 

message: 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)
thread_title:  Request to move/rename article 

message: 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.  Many of us paid MusicMatch $49.99 for free downloads of all future versions.  I dare you try to make good on those free upgrades now that Yahoo is running the show.  Due to a legal loop-hole, they're only required to honor the previous agreement if they update the main software, but they can charge us an arm & leg for "add-ons."  I have a feeling all future upgrades will be so-called add-ons.  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 new MP3 playing software.  Unfortunately, I've yet to find a media player that offers MusicMatch's customization features. M. Frederick 10:39, 23 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Not trying to spam this page, but I can wholeheartedly recommend Media Monkey to all those users that have become fed up with Musicmatch / Yahoo Juke Box. I too paid $49.99 for all future versions (ON TOP OF paying for the current version - a whopping total of $80!) when version 10 came out in 2004. Since then - no upgrades at all. Nada. Zilch. I think this state of affairs should be blended in the article. Even an encyclopedia can warn potential customers when a blatant rip-off is taking place!! 128.2.229.114 15:00, 19 June 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  ========= 

message: I have added these two tags because I constant editing referring to its short comings rather than actual information about the program itself.  I believe this situation is made worst by current migration to the Yahoo! Music Jukebox. To address this, I would like to suggest that major editors consider the following additions.
First off, I would like propose a “Features” section with subsections to explain the four consistent features that exist across all versions, those being: Musicmatch Jukebox, Musicmatch Jukebox Plus, Musicmatch On Demand, and the Musicmatch Download Store.
The second suggestion is the addition of a “Criticism and controversy” section.  At the risk being OR, I can agree with some of editors that “super tagging” feature is misrepresented when purchasing the musicmatch plus key.  Stability issues mentioned in this talkpage and seen in forums certainly seem possible citing my experience with two versions of musicmatch.  Finally, I agree that the migration to the Yahoo! Music Jukebox is not an upgrade; it is the installation of an entirely new program.
I would like to the participation of other editors in trying to rewrite the article because it would require that cooperation to get it done in a timely manner.  For the time being, if anyone has any questions or comments regarding my plans or concerns, please keep them on this talkpage.--Kevin586 17:45, 4 July 2007 (UTC)

message: Since Jukebox was Musicmatch's only notable product and the company is no longer in business it makes sense to merge these two articles into one. -- Cmjc80 07:43, 23 August 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Merge Musicmatch into Musicmatch Jukebox 

message: Since both MM Jukebox and Y! Music Jukebox are longer available, but have been sold to Rhapsody, it makes sense that they should be merged into Rhapsody. Musicmatch is no longer in business and Yahoo! no longer owns Yahoo! Music Jukebox.
:The article be rewritten as referring to an obsolete product. It does however have its own history, and is notable enough to deserve its own article. Removing tag. Molerner (talk) 05:18, 13 November 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Merge Anything about Musicmatch and Yahoo! Music Jukebox into Rhapsody

message: Yahoo have modified this page to remove the link to download old versions of Musicmatch.  They have not given any legal or moral reason for this.  They do not provide any alternative way for legitimate owners of old versions to redownload the software, and have used the automatic update facility to install nagware to attempt to force users to move to their alternative product, which might be considered immoral and possibly (in the UK) illegal misuse of other people's computer systems.  I consider this a valid reason to revert this edit by Yahoo Cerddaf (talk) 20:28, 23 March 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Good call, Cerddaf.  However, users beware, if you have Windows Vista the old versions of MusicMatch will not install properly.  If there are other way to get old MusicMatch versions to work with Vista, these should be added to the article. M. Frederick (talk) 08:01, 24 March 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Yahoo changes 

message: I think that this paragraph should be deleted:
[...] to undo this modification, remove all files and directories containing 
the word "upsell" from the "Musicmatch Update" directory. After this change, the nag screen should no longer be shown. If this doesn't fix the issue, rename the file "offers.mmc" in the Jukebox main folder (i.e. to "offers_mmc.OFF".)
This article is not the right place to put this kind of "tutorial" for removing nag screens.
