'''Yahoo Music Engine''' is a free music player released by [[Yahoo]] in [[2005]]. The features are currently complete, although the player is still considered to be in the [[Development stage|Beta stage]] due to minor, miscellaneous glitches. Its appearance is somewhat similar to the ''[[MusicMatch Jukebox]]''. This may be related to the fact that MusicMatch, which developed the Jukebox, was purchased by Yahoo in 2004.

Its features include CD [[ripping]] and [[CD/DVD authoring|burning]], access to [[Launcast]] and [[Yahoo Unlimited]], playlist creation, transfer of music to portable devices such as [[digital audio player|mp3 players]] and [[USB flash drive]]s. Also the program allows [[Yahoo Messenger]] users to [[streaming media|stream]] music to one another (not to be confused with [[uploading and downloading]] or [[filesharing]]) and browse one another's playlists. Only those subscribed to Yahoo Ultimate are entitled to entire songs, however. Non-subscribers are limited to a thirty second sample.

One can rip songs in a variety of formats including [[WAV|.wav]], [[MP3|.mp3]], and [[WMV|.wmv]]. Interestingly, one cannot rip songs in the [[WMA|.wma]] format, despite the fact that songs purchased from Yahoo are encoded using that format.

The Engine also has a great deal of [[plugin]]s, which reside on the program's official website below.
