I don't know about the rest of you but personally I love seeing old threads being resurrected , even if it is not always obvious that it is an old thread as is not the case with this one because our Charlady cleverly prefaced her update with a reference to its being from 2006
I scanned the various messages it contains and picked up on my own words as quoted above
I actually bought MusicMatch whilst still in the UK with pounds Sterling back in 1999 (the version number was then 6 I think but the latest version before Yah bloody Hoo took it over in 2004 and comprehensively emasculated it was 10) and it remains a firm favoUrite program with me : yes my original registration number still functions to immediately upgrade a newly installed copy to MusicMatch Plus.
Today it so happens that having just recovered my HP Mini netbook to the ex-factory software state I need to reinstall MMJB (Music Match JukeBox dontcha know) on it but as it runs windoze 7 I know that the later versions of MMJB are not compatible with windows7
However I did find that as stated in the wiki at:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Musicmatch
"When Windows 7 was released, users had come to find that the newer versions of MusicMatch were no longer compatible with this OS release because of an error recognizing one of the critical DLL files. The simplest workaround is to load MusicMatch 7.5 as the DLL files in the older version are compatible with all versions of Windows 7. Windows 7 Home Premium (64-bit) does support version 9 of Musicmatch."
Fortuneately old version 7.5 is archived on

(the file is musicmatch75.exe and is 9.95MB)
musicmatch 10 is now a free download from
