Rhapsody is incredible. I haven't had any problems with them. I got the "Rhapsody To Go" account for $2/month more and use it with my Rhapsody ibiza mp3 player - it's like having a Squeezebox on the go. Like others have said, you can use Pandora and Sacker and last.fm on the Squeezebox and add artists to Rhapsody directly from the SB menu - cool feature. Great way to find new artists and albums. I love being able to hear about an album from a friend and be listening to it a few minutes later. You won't be able to listen to albums the day they are released, but they seem to get most of them out fairly quickly - within a month or so. Also, they don't have everything (not much Chameleons or Midnight Oil for example) but they have about 95% of what I'm looking for, and I am looking for mostly non-mainstream stuff. Some things will how up later too - they didn't have any Radiohead until recently - now they have all of them. With a 30 day free trial, you have nothing to lose. If it saves you from buying 1 or 2 CD's you don't like a month, it pays for itself. Trust me, if you're a music lover, you'll love it. -- stovis ------------------------------------------------------------------------ stovis's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9470 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=55782 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
