I figure that this is about the best marketing blog post ever, and after giving it a read I downloaded Yahoo!'s new music player. The player connects to Yahoo!'s Launch music service, which has been around for a while now (I gave up on it when the ads outnumbered the songs). The download was a breeze, but the player uses Internet Explorer, which fired off a stream of Javascript errors while failing to import my local music. It won't let me search the catalogue unless I subscribe, and it won't let me subscribe unless I live in the United States. Which makes it, to me, junk. See how quickly good publicity turns sour?
