| they're not the best
Sadly, they missed the boat by waiting too long after the original. Should've sold those mp3s YEARS ago folks...
Rhapsody still has the best service IMO, even though I'm not a huge fan of their client software.
Paired with a Sansa ("R" series...) it has been pretty good. Put darn near anything I want on my portable and not have to buy tracks is nice. New album comes out that I might like? No problem. Plop it on the Sansa and give it a listen.
Take 'em on Rhapsody... You already swallowed Yahoo Music whole.
I'll keep my Rhapsody subscription as long as I can. Been a member for many years now, and I don't see the point in giving up access to the service. Just too convenient to push play on anything they have.
Oh, and even if you aren't a subscriber, you can still get 25 free plays per month from »www.rhapsody.com with no strings attached...
Should still work on Linux and Macs too - web based playback is handled by a browser plugin (works w/Firefox). AFIK, this makes them the ONLY (legal) cross platform service... |

| The big draw for me on Rhapsody has been their radio tuner.
I have it installed on two computers (IIRC, you're allowed
up to three at the same time), mine here at home, and a PC
at my bench at work.
It's been really good for streaming and recording albums
that I haven't been able to find on Usenet or easily get
through p2p. I've often gotten requests from co-workers.
