Creating Similar Playlists in Yahoo! Music Unlimited

If you like a particular artist or song, you can have Yahoo! Music Unlimited generate a similar playlist for you, which includes other similar songs or artists that you might also like.

Note: If you're not a Yahoo! Music Unlimited subscriber, you'll only be able to listen to 30-second samples of the songs on a similar playlist.

 

Here’s How

  1. Click Y! Unlimited in the left navigation page to access the Yahoo! Music Unlimited home page.

  2. Browse or search in Yahoo! Music Unlimited to find an artist or a song that you particularly enjoy.

    Tip: If you hear a track you like when you're listening to a LAUNCHcast Radio station, you can right-click the track in Now Playing Radio and select one of the menu items to go directly to the corresponding artist or song page in Yahoo! Music Unlimited.

    You can go from a track in Now Playing Radio to the associated song, album, or artist page.

  3. On the detail page for the song or artist, click the Create Similar Artist Playlist or the Create Similar Song Playlist button.

    Click the Create Similar Artist Playlist button.Enlarge

    The Yahoo! Music Jukebox creates and displays a list of tracks are similar to the song or artist you started with.

  4. You can review this scratch playlist, removing tracks you don't want to include and rearranging the contents by dragging songs up and down.

  5. When you've got the list organized as you want, click the Save as Playlist button at the bottom of the window.

    Click the Save as Playlist button.

    The Yahoo! Music Jukebox creates a new permanent playlist called "Like artist name" or "Like song title".

    The new playlist appears in the left navigation pane.

  6. If you want to rename the playlist, right-click its name and select Rename Playlist from the menu.

 

What’s Next

Listen to your new playlist any time, or burn it to a CD to take with you when you're not at your computer.
