  Rhapsody (Best Buy version)

  RHAPSODY PROVES THE INTERNET IS A GIFT FROM HEAVEN.

  by: JDreller on 07-May-2006 12:16:04 PM

  Pros: First, I must preface that I do not subscribe to Napster, YahooMusic, Itunes, or any of the other top music sites. So this review of Rhapsody may pertain to those sites as well. Basically, Rhapsody has CHANGED MY LIFE. Like many people, I am a music lover who was being force-fed the pay-per-playlist of the handful of media conglomerates that own the radio industry. I grew up on U2, REM, Guns n Roses, and Led Zeppelin. Now, four years after first subscribing to Rhapsody, I listen to Charlie Parker, Thievery Corporation, Il Divo, The Sex Pistols, and other bands I would have never been exposed to without Rhapsody. I know all of that music is out there, but Rhapsody's ease of use, fantastic seletection, and brief, yet informative, reviews have me at the computer sifting through music of years past instead of on the couch watching sitcom reruns. I reccomend Rhapsody to everyone because "for $9.95/mo, it's a whole world of music." Also, because Rhapsody pays the publishing giants their dues, the artists see some of that money unlike the illegal p2p sharing that's killing the industry. THANK'S RHAPSODY! $9.95 a month is a no-brainer.

  used to be a great program

  by: The_Bob_Dolemite on 16-Nov-2007 03:43:53 AM

  Cons: After a half hour install of DRM Helix and WMP 11 plugin and TWO computer restarts it turns out the program crashes forcing a hard restart of Windows.

  Garbage

  A little buggy

  by: MakeMikeaMillionaire on 25-Nov-2007 07:47:01 AM

  Pros: I love rhapsody. It's a great service with a ridiculously large catalog of music

  Cons: The software is a bit buggy. It crashes if you have iTunes installed.
