Searching Other Users' Playlists

You can expand your music collection by browsing for new music from members who share their playlists.

Playlists can include the typical compilation of songs from an artist or album. However, some playlists include mixes of music. For example, some playlists include mixes of artists you may have never heard of, collections of DJ selections, or a set of music for a specific activity, like jogging.

Browsing for new music in other users' playlists is a fun, quick way to discover more music.

Tip: Yahoo! Music Unlimited subscribers can save another members’ playlist and transfer it to a portable device. Non-subscribers can listen to shared music only.

 

Here’s How

  1. To begin searching other Yahoo! Music users' public playlists, select Playlist in the search pull-down menu at the top of the Yahoo! Music Jukebox.

    Select Playlist in the pull-down menu

  2. Enter a playlist title, a song name, an artist's name, a member's user name (Yahoo! ID), or another search term or keyword (for example, "beach"), then press the Enter key or click the Search button.

    Enter a search term, then press the Search button.

    The playlist search results show you the playlist names, who created them, the most representative artists, and the number of songs in each playlist.

    Click a playlist to see its contents or a member to see his or her profile.Enlarge

    If you click the name of a playlist, you can see its full list of tracks and easily play the songs, purchase them, or add them to My Music.
