Finding People with Similar Tastes
Yahoo! Music uses your ratings to recommend music and create your personal music profile. Your profile can help you find other Yahoo! Music members that have tastes similar to yours. Discover new music that you might want to add to your personal collection by exploring what similar members are listening to.
Here’s How
To search for people with similar tastes from the Yahoo! Music Unlimited Home page:
-
In the Explore & Share pane (towards the bottom of the Home page), click the Find Similar Members link.
To search for people with similar tastes from My Music Profile:
-
From the any Yahoo! Music page, double-click your sign-in ID to open your music profile.
-
Click the Members with Similar Music Taste link in the Music Community pane.
Yahoo! Music displays a list of the similar members it finds.
If Yahoo! Music doesn't find any similar members, that's not a problem. Just rate more music!
