Friends
Friends lets you see what other people are listening to. You can get the songs your Yahoo! Messenger
friends or other nearby Sansa Connect users are listening to. You can also send recommendations to your
friends, and receive song recommendations from them.
Viewing songs your Friends are listening to
You can view friends from two categories:
• Yahoo! Messenger lets you see music from your Yahoo! Messenger friends who are listening to
music either on another Sansa Connect or on their computer. Your friends are organized into groups,
just as in the Yahoo! Messenger for your computer. Within a group, online friends are listed first,
followed by offline friends.
TIP: You can choose to automatically sign in to Yahoo! Messenger whenever you connect to WiFi by
going to Settings, selecting Friends, and selecting Yahoo! Messenger Auto Sign In.
• Others Nearby lets you see music from other Sansa Connect users who are connected to the same
WiFi network as you.
TIP: You can allow (or prevent) other nearby users from seeing what music you are playing by going
to Settings, selecting Friends, and selecting Visibility to Non-Friends.
Getting songs your Friends are listening to
Note: In order to get songs from friends, a Yahoo! Music Unlimited To Go subscription is required.
To get a song a friend is listening to, highlight that friend and select Get this Song from the ZING menu.
If the song is available in the Y! Unlimited music catalog, it will be downloaded to the Music Library.
Recommending a song to a Friend
To send a recommendation to a friend for the song you’re currently listening to, highlight the friend and
select Send a Recommendation from the ZING menu. Recommendations can only be sent to friends
who are currently online.
Viewing and playing song recommendations from Friends
Note: In order to get recommendations, a Yahoo! Music Unlimited To Go subscription is required.
To view recommendations you have received, go to Friends and select Recommended by Friends. A
list of recently recommended songs will appear. To play any song, select it.
TIP: If you enjoy a recommended song, select Keep this Song from the Options menu. The song
will then be kept on your Sansa Connect just as if you had chosen to get that song yourself.
TIP: You can also view recommended songs from the Music Library by selecting Playlist & Mixes
and then selecting Recommended by Friends.
