Yahoo Messenger 7.0 is out of beta, not calling itself version 7.0 any more but Yahoo Messenger With Voice.

1. Adjust the Advanced Tune close to O and do not set all Equalizer bands too high to have a clearer voice.

2. Use a headset (instead of a microphone and speakers separately) to avoid echo and static.

3. If you are bothered by the background noise, do not worry. Double click on the small speaker in the right corner of your taskbar > the Volume Control comes up > Options menu > Properties > check “Recording” and all recording controls in the list > OK > the Recording Control comes up > select Microphone and drag its volume down till all extra noise disappears.

4. For more convenience, open the Volume Control (the small speaker in the right corner of your taskbar) and check the MUTE box under Microphone. By this way, your original voice is muted, and you can hear only one voice output - the altered voice.

5. Remember to turn off VCS while playing back recorded files by other audio players. Otherwise, they will be morphed one more time, and the quality will not be as good as what has been set.

Yahoo! Audio Search

Yahoo Audio will not include songs from file-sharing sites such as Kazaa and Grokster, which are often used to trade copyrighted music. If a record label complains about any song featured on the site, Yahoo Audio will take it off the list. (According to USA Today)

Updated: Yahoo is NOT the first one with such a meta-search and rev share service: San Francisco based GoFish Technologies has had a similar compare-and-buy service for some time now.

Ringtones are the number one thing people download with their cellphones, and wallpapers are the second.

Most ringtones are sold through WAP push. It means when you request a ringtone, a text message is sent to your phone with a link where the tone can be found. You then use your cellphone’s wireless web browser to get to the link and ultimately get the ringtone.

(According to an article in the Detroit Free Press)

Listed below is a comparison of the percentage of cellphone users that have downloaded a ringtone by region of the world.

Asia 73%
Europe 20%
North America 27%
South America 25%
