I have Launchcast Plus and want to get Yahoo Music Unlimited so I can transfer my ratings to Rhapsody - how?

Question

Yahoo won't seem to allow me to get Unlimited any longer :(

Answer 1

Even if you could get Unlimited, your ratings still won't be transferred.

Answer 2

Your Yahoo! Music ratings will in fact not be transferred to Rhapsody. (You can read about this and other FAQs at http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/music/r...

The reason we did not transfer ratings was because Yahoo! Music will continue to allow ratings of artists, tracks and albums on its Web site -- even after the account transfers.

We did not want to set the expectation that the ratings that reside on the Yahoo! Music site would be kept in synch with the ratings in Rhapsody when they would not in fact have been kept in synch.

The Yahoo! Music rating paradigm also uses four stars in comparison to Rhapsody's five-star paradigm, which poses rating translation issues. For instance, we could have translated four-star ratings into five-star ratings, but different users might have different perspectives on the appropriateness of those translations (e.g., a four-star rating can become a five-star rating, but does a three-star rating become a four-star rating or only a three-star rating?).

We apologize for the inconvenience.
