Search, Click Play, Hear Music

Posted by warmer, September 18, 2008 at 5:28 am, in Music Search, Player, YMusicBlog General, Yahoo! Music Unlimited. 32 Comments

Yahoo! Search now offers full song playback directly from the Search results page for thousands of popular artists and songs.

In conjunction with Yahoo! Music’s new partnership with Rhapsody, we are pleased to announce the recent rollout of several improvements to Yahoo! Search’s music artist “WOW” shortcut originally launched in the Fall of 2007.

Now, in addition to gaining access to all of the artist background that you could before, you can also play up to 25 full songs a month, as opposed to the 30-second samples from before. And, by tapping into the vast catalog of songs available on Rhapsody, we’ve expanded the number of audio files that are available for playback and increased the number of tracks in the shortcut from three songs to four. If you want to look over a greater list of songs, you can now link directly to Yahoo! Music right from the shortcuts; full song playback will soon be enabled in Yahoo! Music as well, so stay tuned.

Search Shortcut

Yahoo! Search is using the FoxyPlayer (formerly known as the Yahoo! Media Player) to power the new Search experience. The player is easy-to-use, offers full functionality for song playback, and includes an expandable playlist tab. Users can continue browsing the results page while the player is in use, as search results will continue to scroll while the player stays in place near the bottom of the browser window. The player can be turned off at any time with a single click, or by simply navigating away from the Search results page. Try it out with a few of my favorites or go to Yahoo! Search and search for your own.

Pink Floyd
Johnny Cash
The Mars Volta

There’s no need to sign in to get your 25 full length streams. Just click a play button and the full length track will start playing. If you listen to all 25 songs before your 30 day period is up, you’ll hear 30 second samples until 30 days have passed from the time you first clicked play. If you are already a Rhapsody Unlimited subscriber, you can listen to an unlimited number of songs through the FoxyPlayer. Just click the “powered by Rhapsody” logo in the player and click the link to sign in on the next page.

FoxyPlayer on Yahoo! Search

We at Yahoo! Music are pleased to have helped Yahoo! Search become the first major Search engine to offer full-song playback directly from the Search results page. We are confident our users will appreciate the enhancements we’ve made to the FoxyPlayer and music artist WOW shortcuts. Keep an eye out for more Rhapsody-related releases down the road, as we are planning several additional updates to showcase even more of Rhapsody’s deep music catalog in the near future.

  8. Every business or product needs exposure to get expected profit, and for exposure we need marketing for the particular business or product. Traditional marketing techniques have been outdated, Online marketing has taken the place of traditional marketing techniques. For promotion, Internet is the best medium now days. It is the first choice of business promoters for online marketing all over the world. Everyone is fighting for the better rank in search engines. These search engines have their own algorithms to identify relevant content on website and to rank them. Websites get the rank on search engine results page according to the data relevancy and structure.

    Online Marketing:

    It is the way of promoting the business over the internet. It can increase your business visibility on various search engines like Google, Yahoo and Bing. In simple words, more visibility, more traffic, more customers, and finally more profit which is the most important factor of every business. Various practices are included in whole online marketing like SEM (Search Engine Marketing), SEO, and PPC (Pay Per Click), Reputation management. All these are part of Process and related one to another.

    Search Engine Optimization:

    Basically it consists of two processes, one is on-page optimization and other one is off-page optimization. In on-page optimization the main focus is on page structure and content. If your website is properly structured and has relevant data, then your site has more chances to beat your competitor’s site.

    In off page optimization, we concern about visibility of site on various locations on internet. To increase visibility, the website URL is submitted to different online locations.

    There are lots of online marketing companies which are providing these types of services to promote your business with all other services like graphic designing, web hosting etc. at one place. These companies can help you to increase your website visibility over the internet.

  23. My coder is trying to convince me to move to .net from PHP. I have always disliked the idea because of the expenses. But he’s tryiong none the less. I’ve been using WordPress on a variety of websites for about a year and am worried about switching to another platform. I have heard good things about blogengine.net. Is there a way I can import all my wordpress content into it? Any kind of help would be really appreciated!
