  Version: Rhapsody (Best Buy version)

  "RHAPSODY PROVES THE INTERNET IS A GIFT FROM HEAVEN."

  by JDreller on May 7, 2006

  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 November 16, 2007

  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 November 25, 2007

  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.

  "ok, had some compatability issues"

  by danstheman7 on March 25, 2008

  Pros: kinda fast, alot of artists available, same price music as itunes.

  Cons: has some compatibility issues with sansa e200 2gb mp3 player. It kept saying there was no music on the ipod when there was, and kept ejecting itself from the computer.

  "Love it better than any other programs out there"

  by littleskater on January 4, 2008

  Pros: This program has a huge music selection, bigger than most programs. And if you have a sansa mp3 player it can transfer music to that with ease by dragging and dropping, it has artist radio so if you like someone you can hear others like them, plus its only 10 dollars or 15 for the sansa to go. I give Rhapsody Best Buy a 5/5

  Cons: its hard to run another program while thats running
