Yahoo! Amps Up Audio Search

Posted Dec 23rd 2005 6:28PM by Brad Hill

Just about a week after Google announced its music search results, Yahoo! reminded everyone of its dynamic audio-search capability by placing a Music icon on the home page and blogging about it. Yahoo!'s audio search service is aggressively democratic in its accessibility to both developers and musicians. Developers can use the Audio Search API to build music-search services on the back of Yahoo!'s engine. Musicians can use the media-RSS format that Yahoo! invented to easily submit their recorded and posted content to the engine.

Speaking of keepiung step with Google, when I checked Yahoo!'s home page for the Music icon, I noticed that a banner at page top suggested that I (and presumably suggests to all visitors using Firefox) change my default browser search engine to Yahoo!.

3. As much as I love Yahoo, I wonder if they, like Google, are in the wilderness with this area of business. iTunes is already paying off for NBC and ABC; NBC even attributes their highest rating for "The Office" to Apple's service. Hopefully, Yahoo will build more content partnerships and have more just than Still Standing and the CSI franchise as leverage in this fight.
