Subject: Before there was Youtube there was Yahoo! Music

Written By: Starro23 on 06/11/22 at 12:00 pm

Yes there was TRL and 106 & Park for TV music video viewing, however.... one website gets overlooked...
That is Yahoo Music, it was ranked the 1# website to watch Music videos in the mid 2000s before Youtube
even hit. I am sure most of you went to this site in the mid 2000s.

I remember it too, but I never actually browsed on it. I think it was a free site. (But it might have been limited as to what was offered.)

Premium you could make a playlist.  Probably the only difference between that and the free site.  Premium also had special artists sessions. (Which are now on YouTube.)

I've never done streaming music sites, and I still don't.  I don't like knowing that if my internet goes down, I can't listen to my music.
I download most of my music from YouTube.  The ones I don't, I rip from old vinyl or cassette, or convert to mp3 from an actual CD

I remember in 2004 watching music videos on Yahoo! Music regularly. Also before YouTube, I can't remember which site but one where you can copy HTML codes to embed in your MySpace page.

If I wanna listen to certain songs, I can usually go to Youtube to find them. I also have a SiriusXM app on my Tablet.

Bat, I've been using Spotify for about 5,6 years and I have a music folder with close to 3,000 songs from all different genres and it keeps growing.

If the internet ever went down, how would you listen to music?

I have some albums/playlists downloaded as I mostly keep Spotify in offline mode.

I can use the browser on mine to go to Youtube. Occasionally I'll see Facebook posts that link to Youtube vids as well.

As do I. But the music selection on most stations is very limited.

If I had my own radio station, I would have such an extensive playlist that you could never hear the same song twice in any 24-hour span. Sure, I'd probably play some songs more frequently than others, but never the same one twice in one day.

I also remember before YouTube, there was Ebaumsworld for watching funny videos and cartoons. I remember watching the Badger, Badger; Burger King "Ding, fries are done", and "Peanut Butter Jelly Time" cartoons on there, and also the "Numa Numa" and Star Wars Kid videos.

I don’t remember MSN Music either. Maybe because I didn’t really check out that section of the MSN site.
