1.0 out of 5 stars WARNING: Don't Buy unless you want to do what I had to do, October 6, 2005

By 

Music Lover (USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: MusicMatch Jukebox Deluxe 8 (CD-ROM)

As there isn't a version 10 on Amazon.com I had to use this area to warn everyone. I turned on the computer this morning and booted up v. 10 as normal to listen to music while I did my thing. I have the deluxe version of 10 that I paid good money for and was astonished to see this morning that it had expired!!! All of the features that you pay good money for - super tagging etc...will no longer work until I pay them more money?!? DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT as you won't own the extra features you get over the free version YOU ARE SIMPLY LEASING THEM! Before today I would have given Music Match v. 10 5+ stars as the features are great and the speed is great for use with ripping and relabelling your music collection. As you can see from the other reviews, the On demand junk that they try to get you to pay more money for as well isn't worth anything either. Put simply, DON'T BUY ANYTHING FROM MUSIC MATCH!!

UPDATE: I filed a complaint with the Better Business Bureau about the deluxe verison expiring as well as put in a report to the Bad Business Bureau. I received a response from Yahoo in response to my complaint to the Better Business Bureau a day later with a new registration key and an apology for the misundstanding (which I have to ask...what misunderstanding?) I sent a reply back asking if the key would expire but have heard nothing back yet (3 business days later). I received an e-mail from the Better Business Bureau today asking me if the problem was resolved because of what they sent me (new registration) I responded by telling them no, it's not resolved because I don't know if the key expires or not. I'll update again once I get a response. **Special Note** If you also plan on filing a complaint to the Better Business Bureau be advised that Yahoo now owns MusicMatch so fill it out with Yahoo's corporate address of 701 First Ave, Sunnyvale, CA 94089-1019 with phone number of: 408 349-3300

UPDATE PART 2: I finally received word back from Yahoo customer service that the new key will not expire. While everything seemed to work out for the best I would highly recommend avoiding buying MusicMatch at all costs unless you plan on going through what I did.

1.0 out of 5 stars Do Not Buy This Product!!!, December 29, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: MusicMatch Jukebox Deluxe 8 (CD-ROM)

On September 29, 2003 Musicmatch released version 8.1 of their product and in December, 2003 they released version 8.2. The retail box says "New V8" and it turns out it's 8.00.010 which is two levels behind. Even though you just bought the software Musicmatch wants an additional fee to get to the current level (8.2) of Jukebox Plus! You can get the current Jukebox Plus level by loading the Jukebox Basic for free from the Musicmatch website and then paying the upgrade to Jukebox Plus (and you'd be at the current level instead of two levels back). So don't waste $29.99 for the retail version!

1.0 out of 5 stars Features expire unlees you pay more money, December 13, 2005

I was very disappointed to find that some of the nice features such as supertagging expire. You don't really buy this product, you lease it. This is a nasty practice that was abandoned years ago by reputable software developers. Don't buy it unless you are willing to pay over and over again for the same features.
