Searching and Browsing for Music

There are two ways to find the music you want: by Searching in Yahoo! Music Unlimited, or by Browsing areas such as Recommendations, Similar Music, and more.

The Yahoo! Music Unlimited library of over 1 million songs offers you a massive collection of music to enjoy. You can always search and listen to :30 samples of music; as a Y! Unlimited subscriber, you can quickly and easily add full songs to your collection. Music is available through a subscription, or as individual, burnable downloads.

  1. Find Music Using Search:

    To search for music you want, use the search box at the top of each Yahoo! Music Unlimited page, and indicate whether you want to find songs, albums, artists or playlists (member refers to searching for other members. See Using Messenger Music in Yahoo! Music Jukebox Help). On the search results page, click the Add to My Music button next to available items, or right-click to add songs to My Music. Then, from My Music, you can create your own playlists.

    • Click Y! Unlimited in the left navigation pane.
    • Search for music you like, or click any of the album, artist, or song recommendations on the Yahoo! Music Unlimited page.
    • From song search results: click the Add to My Music button where it is available to add the song to My Music.
    • From individual artist, song or album pages: click the Add To My Music button when available.
    • Y! Unlimited songs will be automatically added to My Music as full downloads (unless you specify in Y! Unlimited Preferences you wish them stored as bookmarks for online streaming only.)
  2. Find Music By Browsing Recommendations and Similar Albums, Artists and Songs:

    To Browse for music: you'll notice on the Yahoo! Music Unlimited and Yahoo! Music Jukebox homepages that music is recommended to you automatically. (If you're not logged in or have no ratings with Yahoo! Music, you may see only generic Recommendations. Once you log in and begin rating, the Recommendations you see will be personalized to your interests.) Click any of these song, album or artist recommendations, and you'll be shown music you may not know about, music you like, or new music you wouldn't have known about otherwise.

    On an individual album or artist page, you'll see a feature called Explore Similar Albums (or Artists). This shows you instant suggestions for music you might like, and by clicking More, you'll generate a list of additional similarities to the specific album or artist, which again, is based on your personal tastes and interests.

    On individual song and artist pages, you'll see a button called Create a Similar Song (or Artist) Playlist. Clicking this generates a new, original playlist of similar songs you can choose to save or update dynamically.

    With a subscription to Yahoo! Music Unlimited, you can Add any of this music to My Music whenever you see the Add to My Music button.

    You can also browse through genres, most popular music, recently added music, and more.
