Streaming Yahoo Music Jukebox Unlimited to Playstation 3 via network music..?

Question

I can stream music to my PS3 from Windows Media 11 but not from Yahoo Music Jukebox. Why?? YMJ seems to indicate it can be done to XBOX 360 but not to PS3 which doesnt make any sense.. if Windows Media Player 11 can do it why cant YMJ? they are both using .wma format for the streaming audio. Interestingly enough after setting up network music in YMJ the PS3 sees it as an available music server on my network but the music files are still reported as unsupported media on the PS3! Is this an issue with file permissions in YMJ not recognizing the PS3 on my network as a network music device? If so why hasn't Yahoo updated their YMJ software to recognize the PS3 as a supported network music player?

Welcome to YaHell.  It has taken many iterations to get Yahoo! Music Jukebox to barely work.  Users who were on Music Match had to migrate to Y! Music Jukebox and the results were a disaster.  Now Yahoo! is dumping their Unlimited users to Rhapsody.  My advice is to avoid Yahoo! like the plague for any type of network music streaming.  Y! tech support is horrible and they treat bugs in their software as something to be fixed in the next millenium. The only part of Yahoo! Music Jukebox that seems to work OK is the Radio.  Save yourself the grief and look elsewhere.
