I am impressed. Normally I expect big companies (like Microsoft) to need several releases to get new products and services right. That is the failure of marketing versus internal politics.
Yahoo! has broken this trend with their release of Yahoo! Music Unlimited. I have become a fan of subscription music, and have tried most of the new services. Listen, from Rhapsody, was doing a good job for me for awhile. Then today I tried Yahoo! and was amazed at how much they got right on the first try. They have an impressive music catalogue. The use interface makes sense. They have some good personalization. And their transfer to other devices is very straight forward, as well as a nice bonus. Note that I like it without even mentioning the category-killer price of $6.99 /month for pay-as-you go.
Although I have signed up for the month-by-month service, I already feel I will stick around a while. Good job Yahoo! marketing and technical teams!
