  Rhapsody Music Service - Blog
As if the titans of music industry didn’t have enough bad karma in their ethereal bank account, now they are on another round of “sue people who can’t protect themselves in court because it is expensive” for illegally downloading music.
Legal services like Rhapsody, Napster, Yahoo give you legal access to most of the music you want for a very small monthly fee and is a much safer way to go about having access to large music collections.
I think the more music services that are out there and the better job they do at identifying a niche (streaming, music store, indie, broad) the better both the bands and the listeners will be served.

  Rhapsody (online music service) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Rhapsody Unlimited is a paid subscription at $9.99 per month and allows unlimited streams of most songs in its catalogue, as well as access to all radio stations and the option for user-generated radio stations.
Rhapsody Unlimited subscribers using the Jukebox software are also able to download an unlimited number of tracks to their computers, but these tracks are not owned by the user (and hence, cannot be burned or transferred to a portable device).
Rhapsody customers using the Jukebox client may use the Harmony plug-in by RealNetworks to convert tracks purchased from the Rhapsody service into FairPlay AAC files for use on Apple's iPod line of Digital Audio players.

 Rhapsody Misses Too Many Notes - Lycos Rhapsody online music service Newsbytes News Network - Find Articles   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
Rhapsody has the technical ability for downloading and hopes to offer it this year, but the record labels have been so paranoid about music piracy they haven't granted downloading or burning rights to Rhapsody or most other Web music services.
It remains to be seen whether consumers will wind up buying most of their music online the way they buy singles and albums in record stores or whether they will ante up monthly fees for music subscription services such as the two big ones launched in December by the record labels.
They add value to your music collection when the electronic service is done cleverly, as Rhapsody's is. But the formula must allow downloads, CD recording and portability of music to other devices.

In addition, RealNetworks (RNWK:Nasdaq - news - commentary - research - analysis), the online media company that is acquiring Rhapsody parent Listen.com, launched Rhapsody as a replacement for the MusicNet online music service it owns in conjunction with three major record labels.
The announcements indicate how online music services are bowing to the desires of music buyers, and how the major record labels may be ceding control of the legal online music business as it grows in popularity.

 Online music store - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The realization of the market for these services grew widespread around the time of Napster, a music and file sharing service created by Shawn Fanning that made a major impact on the Internet scene during the year 2000.
Non-major label services like eMusic, Cductive and Listen.com (now Rhapsody.com) sold the music of independent labels and artists to keep in the game, but it wasn't until there was true portability of digital music in the form of the iPod and Apple Computer introduced iTunes in 2003 that sales of digital downloads took off.
The latest trend in music download sites include Fonogenic which combine the idea behind MP3 Blogs which are editorial in nature, and online music stores which provide instant access to buy and download songs.

Rhapsody's search and browse interface is elegant, logical and provides useful results quickly.
It also integrates the track data with additional background information, and the music itself, in an intuitive way that takes the experience of searching for music online to a new level.
Now what the service needs is about ten times as much content (currently around 100,000 tracks), the right to burn CD's or transfer files to portable players, and higher quality audio performance (maybe use Liquid Audio infrastructure instead of WMA?), and we might have a service worth subscribing to.

 Online Music Services | music : ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY
Well, Napster's been dead at the hands of lawsuit-wielding music companies since July 2001, replaced by inferior file-sharing services (Kazaa and WinMX are among the most popular) that the labels also have in their sights.
Tunes Rhapsody is the only service with licenses from all five major labels, as well as some indies, which makes it the leading contender.
Biggest bummer Rhapsody is currently a streaming-only service -- which means that all songs are tethered to your computer (though you can hook your 'puter up to your stereo), and those who don't have broadband are pretty much out of luck.
