MusicMatch Jukebox discontinues in favor of Yahoo Jukebox   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #1138 of 1169 |
With the upcoming discontinuation of MusicMatch after it was acquired
by Yahoo, and the pending migration off all of those subscribers over
to Yahoo, having currently subscriptions to both Music Services, I
would have thought that they would have migrated Yahoo into
MusicMatch instead of the other direction.

Now, we are losing Super Tagging, an awesome feature of MM to locate
and tag files with Album cover art and whatever other ways you want
to tag your files as well as a far superior method of being able to
edit file tags, names, etc.

None of this is available on the Yahoo Jukebox with the exception of
some pretty basic editing. Now, I find myself having to download
music from Yahoo and tag, rename or reorganize my music using
MusicMatch Jukebox, at least until they turn it off completely or
even Windows Media PLayer which also will locate cover art.

I feel that the superior aspect of the way Music Match tagged files
with cover artwork was to imbed the cover art tag into the file
itself so thewn, no matter what player you use for your music from
Media Player to iTunes, the cover art is always displayed. Unlike
some other jukeboxes, and Media Player is in this category, when
cover art is located, it download a couple of .jpf files. One for the
Album and one for the file. The only difference being that one image
is a little large for Media Player's album view mode.

I do not think much consideration is given to users having music
files in many different formats in addition to the protected WMA's.
Some percentage of people will want to organize and play WMA's, MP3's
or whatever and it is always nice to have the option of displaying
vocer art since many of the newer MP3 players will also display the
art. The increase in file size is miniscule.
