The Yahoo! Music Blog has a post that informs us of an update to the Yahoo! Music Jukebox, bringing it to v2.0.2While there are no new features, there are several performance and stability fixes:
- Better management of memory
- Crossfade works for everyone
- Fatal Exceptions are (mostly) history
- Proper shutdown of the executable
- Improved CPU performance when starting

So, just how good at time waster games are you? Think you've got the stuff? Well, The World's Hardest Game 2.0 doesn't think you do.
Yes, amazingly, it's possible to have a sequel to a game called "The World's Hardest Game". It doesn't seem logically possible, since if the first one was actually the world's hardest, how could another one come along and share the moniker? It made me doubt the name in the first place.

It's a shame - I love YMJ and Y! Unlimited.

Did they every fix this memory hog? I love how Yahoo worked but I dread every moment I had to run the app because it would bring my system to a crawl. I eventually went to Napster, it ok but I feel like I'm missing something.

This is a good minor update.
