Popular, mainstream music may not be to your liking, but you are truly missing out if you never listen to new stuff. There are new songs being created that fall into a category of music in every genre. If you can't find any new songs that you like, it's most likely because you don't have a viable method to obtain this music. This is where a music service, such as Rhapsody, is a valuable asset to many music aficionados. It's like a library pass to a plethora of music. And just like a library, you can't keep any of the songs, but you can listen to a wide variety of different choices.
I have discovered a ton of great artists and rediscovered some old ones. As long as the sound quality is acceptable and the DRM is not too restrictive, I'd like to see how this new service works out. | |

|  2 Rhapsody plans are better if you are renting by the month
Rhapsody Unlimited is a paid subscription at $12.99. This option permits unlimited selections of music from the Rhapsody catalogue and access to radio stations programmed by Rhapsody.
Rhapsody To Go is also a paid subscription at $14.99 per month. This option offers the same features as Rhapsody Unlimited plus the downloading of unlimited selections to computers without purchasing songs on a per-track basis. Users are not permitted to burn the tracks to CD, but they can be transferred to compatible PlaysForSure portable devices. These "subscription downloads" (also called tethered downloads) cannot be transferred to an Apple iPod due to rights disagreements. The recent announcement that EMI will let digital retailers sell DRM-free music downloads will enable Rhapsody and other companies to sell major-label songs that play on the iPod, provided that they make such arrangements with the individual record labels. It has millions of tracks from various labels. But it has no iPod support.

| Re: 2 Rhapsody plans are better if you are renting by the month I use this service, and am very happy with it. It's not DRM free, but you can buy MP3s now if you want them.
I was a member of Urge, but they merged with Rhapsody.
The only real issue I have, is everything isn't "Free" to
stream with the membership. Sometimes you run into things that you just HAVE to buy to get.
Just like I use netflix to rent movies, and then return them, I have no problem renting music, and I don't even have to return it...
Netflix should get more movies online for viewing..
This is the future, don't fight it. Why pay per track, when you can "rent" as much as you want?

When I signed up for these services, I was looking for the best listening experience. Rhapsody had the best sound. It was not even close. | |

It was much better than Napster's service too. When I signed up for these services, I was looking for the best listening experience. Rhapsody had the best sound. It was not even close. I'm not really an audiophile. Yahoo music sounded just fine. Songs usally streamed a 192 kbps. I was thinking about paying for a year over at Yahoo because I was having atime justifying the $9 a month since they removed some sogns I liked. It seems all the music services got rid of those songs so there's no advantage there.
I've never been a music buyer that's why I liked the subscription model but at $13 month I think I may be better off just buying DRM free Mp3s from Amazon. If every month I got to keep say 5 songs DRM free then maybe $13 a month would be worth it. I doubt Rhapsody is going to do that anytime soon. | |

It's not perfect, but it's a lot better then what Sony once attempted. | |

| Re: If you can hear it, you can copy it. said by worldvision :Maybe apple and sony forgot, but if i hear music i can make exact copy of it. As such, any restriction they put on it are meaningless. I was thinking the same thing. I've used Audacity (»audacity.sourceforge.net/) and recorded from the line monitor. I could never hear a difference. Maybe an audiophile would.
I forget the exact configuration selections to record from the sound card's signal. It always takes me about an hour to figure it out because I use it so infrequently. If someone wants to try and and wants me to figure it out again I can.
It's a handy way to get something from a RealPlayer stream. For example, if you want a wav file for a sound effect or ring tone. I've copied music too. It sounded good to me.

| Re: If you can hear it, you can copy it. Thanks. That looks interesting. I wonder why the music companies haven't gone after tools like this (and Audacity) as violating the DMCA. I can see how they couldn't make a case against something recording from line-in. Running a cable from line-out to line-in introduces noticeable quality loss. But, it seemed to me like Audacity was getting the signal going to the sound card before it's converted to analog(?). If that's true it seems strange they haven't made an argument that it's violating something.

| I've been using Pandora Rip for some time in conjunction with Pandora Radio. It's not perfect and the software lacks some features I wish it had, but it's pretty decent. Pandora's downside is that you can't select a particular song or artist specifically, but you can create your own "station", seeding it's playlist with a particular artist or song. Plus it's all free. | |

| im guessing that program is grabbing the sound stream from the audio driver as it is being sent to the sound card, as such it isnt violating the DMCA because the software isnt breaking any DRM encryption but is instead intercepting the data stream to the audio device.

Next something more important then RIAA developments at 11:
It has been acknowledged that the Ice is melting in Antarctica. Recently the most biggest piece broken off. It has been said within fifteen years. A good chunk will break off and who knows what happens after. You can do a search on google for it. | |

I guess they're trying to make digital so unattractive that you go back to buying CDs. At least then I own that physical disk.
Not interested in music rentals in the form they're suggesting, and likely any form.
