| | I discovered Yahoo Launch about a year ago, and I found it to be pretty damn good. You can choose or customize your own radio, with music to suit you. And its little smart recording feature records and adjusts itself to better find and play music that you're more in tune with.
All the ads are just a little annoying, but I think it's great.
Tell me what you guys think, is there another music site out there that's better? |

Hi, I really like to watch these videos, but I hate it that they're only in streaming format. I tried to save them on harddisk, but it's pretty hard to find out the real URL's of the original files. I was successful once using a programm called URL Snooper, but meanwhile I forgot how it worked.  Perhaps somebody could post a tutorial here? GreetingZ

QUOTE I was successful once using a programm called URL Snooper, but meanwhile I forgot how it worked. Perhaps somebody could post a tutorial here? Hi I'm just wondering about this tihng over here. I'm curious about this "downloading of music" and stuff like that from unofficial sites. If you want to download the file you go - "rightclick, save target as" right? When the file gets saved on your harddisk it is always different. Sometimes i have to load it form the internet and sometimes i get to view it without the internet on. May i know what's the problem here? I'm totally confused. Does it have anything to do with movie "streaming" or anything like that? Thanks.

Well, to be perfectly honest I've never listened to music via the Internet. I have a CD player from 1998 and an adorable radio from way back in the 70's I bought at the Flea Market.  But, the radio station I most often listen to (The Classical Station, 89.7 WCPE) is CONSTANTLY metioning that listeners can tune in on the internet. Is this Yahoo thing what they are talking about?

No. More and more radio stations are putting up their own website, which serves to promote them better (giving them a presence on the 'net) and allow them to garner more advertising dollars. Yahoo Launch is an independent arm of Yahoo, and not affilliated with any commercial radio station. When you use Launch, you build your own "radio station", allowing you to customize your musical content to your favorites, on a rating system. It then "suggests" other music/artists based on your ratings. Hope that answers your question...

Yahoo! Messenger Firewall Changes
(0) Yahoo! announced on their official Messenger blog (ymessengerblog.com) that unspecified changes will
be made to the way firewalled users will use Messenger. The article mentions that only users that
are using version 8.x and signed in from behind a firewall will be affected. An official message
will be sent by Yahoo! urging users to upgrade to the latest 9.x version of the software. From a
programming standpoint this will most likely only affect Messenger operations that require a peer to

Yahoo! Profiles Updated
(2) Yahoo! has changed their profile system and more has changed besides the layout of the page. When
transitioning to the new system all of the user data was cleared and pages for aliases were removed.
Additionally, personal information such as age and location are now protected in a manner similar
to Facebook or MySpace where you must be accepted by the user. Apparently many users are not happy

Yahoo! Messenger Challenge Response Algorithm

explain the Yahoo! Messenger challenge response algorithm? The Yahoo! Messenger challenge response
sequence is quite complex and unique to Yahoo! The challenge comes from the server and is then run
through an algorithm on the client. When looking at the challenge and response in ASCII view it
almost looks like a mathematical equation but it is not. This complex algorithm came from several
years ago when the username and password was sent in plain text over the network an....
Yahoo! Messenger Power User

doing a quick Google search

Yahoo! Messenger Talking To Google Talk?
(7) While Yahoo! was off fighting Microsoft, they made some deals with Google to put a slightly tainted
taste into the merger deal. The most notable one was an ad revenue “trial” where Google would serve
the ads on Yahoo! pages in return for a very favorable share of the profit. Over the past week it
appears that the trials were very successful and Yahoo! has agreed to a more permanent deal with
Google that would continue the deal, pending any anti-trust issues. Mixed up in this agreement is a
paragraph that indicates future interoperability between the two IM platforms (....

Yahoo! May Add Openid Support

Tapping Yahoo! Messenger Phone Conversations
(4) The latest post on the official Yahoo! Messenger blog appears to be out of place to me

the usual suspects of promising unneeded features or unabashed promotion of Messenger. Instead it
is a fairly useful commentary on how to record a Messenger phone session using third party

Yahoo! Messenger 9 Beta Preliminary Review
(15) I have been using the latest version of Yahoo! Messenger for over two weeks now and I would like to

features (at least none that I would use), the user interface (UI) is prettier, and it looks like
there have been some bug fixes; that’s it. Under the hood there are some things to note. The
current version of the YSMG protocol with version 8 is 15 and Messenger 9 has bee....

“discovr” New Friend With Yahoo! Messenger
(2) The latest blog post from the Yahoo! Messenger development teams is about Discovr, a proposed new
way of sharing Messenger contacts. As is stands Messenger is a closed social community. It is very

life. Discovr is a method to make Messenger more like Facebook or Myspace where everyone knows who
your friends are. Discovr came from Hack Days, a common occurrence at Yahoo! that encourages
different departments to throw out new ideas. (To think Yahoo! actually names it H....

the Labor Day weekend Yahoo! started making users enter a captcha before they could enter a chat

enter the captcha in a separate dialogue box. I do have to admit that the process did ....

Yahoo! Chat Room Survey

Yahoo Mail With Yahoo Chat

depends on how many of your contacts or online. Then you can just put your mouse over where it
says how many of your contacts are online, click and you can pick with who you want to chat with.

Union”, I like it). According to Yahoo!, the entire backend of the servers has been rebuilt from
the ground up. Hopefully they also incorporated security into their software life cycle which would
make many of the common problems disappear. There is also a war against bots, and a MAC platform
