Your Recommendations
Yahoo! Music gives you instant, updated and personalized music recommendations so you can explore and discover the kind of music that's most important to you. Your Recommendations are based on music you rate – so it’s important that you use the rating tool where ever you see it to make sure you get the kind of music you want!
How It Works:
Throughout Yahoo! Music, you will see the 4-star rating tool. This allows you to define and refine your favorite music whenever you like. Just drag or click the star rating (or ban it to tell us you dislike this selection) and several things will happen:
- The music played on your customized LAUNCHcast radio station will be tailored to the ratings you provide.
- Music recommendations provided to you will be refined based on your rating.
- Your video recommendations will also be reflected by your rating on the site.
Once you start rating music, we will automatically give you recommended music on your customized homepage. When you are signed in, you’ll see Recommendations on your homepage, and these are based on ratings you have set.
View All Your Recommendations
To see all your current Recommendations, click View More Recommendations at the bottom of the Recommendations module on your homepage. Here you will see all your Recommendations. Use the tabs at the top to select which type of Recommendation you want to view, Video, Album, Song or Artist.
Adjust Your Ratings and Recommendations
You can change the music that’s recommended to you by changing the music you rated. We provide recommended music based on your ratings, so if you change ratings, you change the music we recommend and play on LAUNCHcast.
From your homepage, click Improve My Recommendations at the top of your recommendations module. On your recommendations page, manually re-rate music you already rated to adjust your recommendations then click Refresh at the top of the page. Yahoo! Music will focus your recommendations more clearly on those artists, albums videos and songs you rated higher.
