Yahoo! Music (yes, a rant)

[macdude425]

OK, I need to let off a little steam. Today has been a really long day. The closest victim? Yahoo! Music...

I've been looking for an excuse to vent about it for sometime now, and now I have one. It really pisses me off that Yahoo! Music does not let you use Firefox, Opera, Mac OS X, Mac OS 9 (even though they say they do! It just locks up.) or Linux to access their services.

What, just because we're smart means we should be treated like second-class citizens?

I've sent them five complaint emails, and what do they do? They don't even give me the time of day to send me an automated "Thank you for your response..." letters. Pitiful.

I know, I know, you're thinking "mac, get over it, its just a friggin' radio service." But the point here is that I'm being discriminated against because I choose to be different.

Now I feel better

Yah anything that forces you onto windows should be taken off the net.

Worse, it requires you use IE. That should be a federal offense as far as I am concerned.

Isn't that kinda of like monopoly?

 

[macdude425]

Sort of, I guess.

It's stupid whatever it is. I don't think Yahoo! feels it needs to accomodate users that aren't in the outright majority. That's why Google seems to be surpassing them, as they are more attentive to mac, linux, firefox users, etc. and are more supportive of the open-source community. And who knows, maybe they've got some sort of back room deal with Micro$oft and that's why Yahoo! only allows their software to work Windows/IE.
