- Ultimate Power to Organize and Play Music
- Large Library Support. The Musicmatch Music Library has been overhauled to expertly handle larger music libraries with ease. From 100 tracks to 100,000, Musicmatch provides the tools to manage your music.
- Smarter Library. New built-in feedback information on tracks, times and size of selected tracks and playlists delivers a continually updated view of your music. Further optimization allows the library to perform tasks in the background, and update music links automatically.
- New Library Views. Drag and drop columns to rearrange them, or simply right-click to choose which of the 39 columns you want to hide or display. Upgrade to Jukebox Plus and create your own Custom Views based on numerous criteria and filters.
- Deeper Tagging. Tag your tracks with many new information fields, including personal ratings, featured artists and ten new classical music fields. New custom fields provide you with even more flexibility for managing your music.
- Direct Library Editing. Whether you are editing tags for your Musicmatch Downloads or On Demand tracks, in-place editing allows you to make changes directly in your music library. Plus, drag and drop tagging makes updating tracks tags even easier.
- Export to Spreadsheet. Musicmatch Jukebox Plus will allow users to export their library track list to a spreadsheet or text file for increased music file organization.
- More Powerful Music Discovery and Playlist Creation
- New AutoDJ. An all-new AutoDJ offers the easiest way to automatically create the perfect playlist and discover new music. Using the Musicmatch Music Discovery Engine, the new AutoDJ can create custom playlists from your library, the On Demand Service or both. Simply type in a few of your favorite artists, and AutoDJ does the rest. Further fine-tune your results by setting playlist size, track popularity, release date and mix diversity. AutoDJ now has expanded selection criteria and the ability to create mixes based on size, time or number of tracks.
- New Playlist Manager. Manage playlists easier and faster by viewing them alongside your library or our full online music catalog. Create playlists by dragging and dropping tracks from your library, the Musicmatch On Demand service or Music Store.
- New Custom Station Creator. Musicmatch Premium Radio features a new Custom Station Creator that plugs into the Musicmatch Music Discovery Engine to help you quickly build the perfect station based on several criteria, such as related artists, eras or over 200 genres.
- Faster and Easier to Use
- New Dynamic Search and Navigation Tools. Easily find music in your library by simply typing a few letters of your favorite artist, album or track - each new keystroke will narrow your displayed results to find your music faster.
- Navigate Faster. Musicmatch Jukebox 10 and all the accompanying music services start up and display faster than ever before. Sort tracks, switch views and navigate your music twice as fast with Musicmatch Jukebox 10.
- Better Design. A simple layout, persistent tools button, redesigned library icons and new skin color themes allow you to expertly manage your music in no time and listen to your favorite music faster.
- Superior Portable Device Management
- Improved Portable Device Manager. The Portable Device Manager features a brand new Portable Device Wizard that allows you to set up the perfect sync profile for your portable music player, including separate profiles for different devices with different capacities.
- Duplicate Track Finder. Musicmatch Jukebox Plus users can maximize the space on their portable devices using the new Duplicate Track Finder tool to make sure that no disk space is being used up by duplicate tracks.
About: Musicmatch is the former company (founded in 1997) that developed the Musicmatch Jukebox software. Jukebox was added to the software name when the dynamic playlist feature-set was added to the software. Subsequent products included Musicmatch Radio, Musicmatch Music Store, and Musicmatch On Demand. The original Musicmatch name and brand were developed by Creative Multimedia and were part of a series of media-oriented online resources, including Moviematch.
On September 14, 2004 Yahoo! announced that it was going to acquire Musicmatch. The acquisition was completed on October 19, 2004 for a reported price of US $160 million.
The Jukebox has a skinnable, graphical interface and allows users to manage a catalogue of digital music, as well as CD and stream-based audio. It has a fairly advanced AutoDJ but has been noted as having a longer boot-up time than other players. The Plus version includes faster rip and burn times, exportable tables and tech support, as well as a "Super-Tagging" function that fetches for tags and album art and attaches them to the song file, allows you to customize the art and tags for any files in a directory, or rename files based upon the tags already stored in the files. These features, and others, were meant to be incentives to upgrade from the free version, which lacks them. The upgrade is done by entering a serial number which must past a local validity test.
Musicmatch 7 added the ability to record from "Mixer In" if a full duplex sound card is installed. Musicmatch (versions 9 and earlier) is well equipped to transfer LP records and streaming audio to MP3 as it has the ability to listen for silences of customizable level (percentage of original volume) and duration (in seconds). This allows Musicmatch to split a ripped LP into tracks automatically and to stop recording after playback of a stream was complete. A delayed recording start was also of benefit when recording streams.
Many long-time Musicmatch users never updated to Yahoo Musicmatch preferring to stay with Musicmatch 9 or 10. Starting with Musicmatch 10, several key features began to be removed. While 10 added several features related to listing online radio through Musicmatch services, a bug eliminated the ability to split tracks when recording from Mixer-in. The Yahoo Musicmatch version dropped the much favored 'super-tagging' feature. Registration keys for Musicmatch Jukebox Plus still function. However no new versions of Musicmatch (or Yahoo! Jukebox) are available for download. Yahoo! now offers Rhapsody in partnership with RealNetworks.
