Hi everyone

Seems like there is some confusion around the usage limits.



Users can stream 3000 songs per calendar month before they hit the
stickwall. LAUNCHcast Plus or YMU subscribers do not have any listening
limits. The 200 song (I like to call this the soft stickwall) is just a
friendly reminder of all of the benefits you would receive if you signed up
for LAUNCHcast Plus. You can still continue to stream after the 200 song
stickwall. Sorry if this message bugs you Temporello. Seems like there is a
bug if it is giving you this message and you cannot sign up for LAUNCHcast
Plus b/c you are outside the US. I will look into that. I'll also update the
help page to clarify that it's 3000 songs and not 600. I remembered to
update Wikipedia but forgot about our help pages. My bad!





The stickwall restrictions differ depending on what country you live in.

If you live in the US, here is what you get post stickwall:


You can listen to 3000 songs per month for free without any special
restrictions. After 3000 songs in a month, if you still want to
listen to the free service, you'll experience the following
restrictions:
- No pre-programmed stations
- Customized stations with a limited catalogue
- No song skipping
- Low (mono) audio quality only




If you live outside the US and in a country where we have Yahoo! Music i.e.
France, Spain, Germany these are the stickwall rules:

You can listen to 3000 songs per month for free without any special
restrictions. After 3000 songs in a month, if you still want to
listen to the free service, you'll experience the following
restrictions:
- Only pre-programmed stations
- No Customized stations
- No song skipping
- Low (mono) audio quality only





If you live outside the US and in a country where we do not have a Yahoo!
Music property i.e India, Iran, Peru etc. these are the stickwall rules:

You can listen to 3000 songs per month for free without any special
restrictions. After 3000 songs in a month you can no longer listen to the
service until the 1st day of the next month. On the 1st day of the next
month your stickwall count resets.



Please feel free to ask questions about this. It's really confusing so I am
happy to answer anything. The good news is that 3000 songs is a lot of songs
so most of you should never encounter the stickwall.

Well there was always confusion about the actual limit so I hope it's
not 300 or 1000...
I also hope that I will no longer recieve the "You streamed over 200
songs" message and that I should subscribe to LC+ (cause I still
can't)...

Ok,I'm not in a good mood today :)
We should be happy!
I will be when this cold I caught subsides :)
