Help - Rhapsody (To Go) Player

yosi1

I was wondering if anyone used this player, and could give me some info on how it worked and how the service was and whether or not people enjoyed it. I was curious how long I kept the music if I decided to not continue membership, could I put the music on my iPod, are there issues with DRM protected music, etc. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

If I remember right (I've never used the service, personally), the music will "expire" if you cancel your membership and it cannot be put on an iPod (at least not without violating federal law). The music will only work on a Rhapsody-sponsored player.

The best way to avoid this bullshit is to NEVER purchase DRM-infected music.

Cool, thanks. I'm just trying to legally (or easily as possible really, even if it wasn't entirely legal), download lots of music without paying a shit load of money. I figured if I could cough up $15 bucks once and then have a lot more music, it'd be worth it.
