New Release of Yahoo! Music Jukebox 2.0.2 + Google Desktop

March 12th, 2007

Hey there everyone,

We just released an update to Yahoo! Music Jukebox 2.0.2 that we believe corrects an issue that some of you were seeing involving extremely slow performance with more than 1500 tracks in My Library.

This version (2.0.2.049) is available now from
http://music.yahoo.com/jukebox *

I really hope this clears up the problems that you saw with 2.0.2. The only change with this version is the fix for large libraries.

Also: We’ve noticed that if you install the latest version of Google Desktop before installing Yahoo! Music Jukebox, then YMJ may appear to install correctly, but might not function correctly. The main symptom is that the left pane with “Y! Unlimited”, “My Library”, etc. will only have one or two items in it. There may be other errors when you try to use the product, but that’s the most noticeable symptom.

This appears to happen any 2.0 version of YMJ including the new 2.0.2.

The current way to avoid this is to uninstall Google Desktop (turning it off is *not* sufficient) and then install YMJ. After YMJ is installed, you can safely re-install Google Desktop if you wish. We’re close to a fix for that as well that you’ll see in the next release.

Thanks for your patience,

Mick O
