I can confirm that the bug is somehow related to the wireless bridge
settings.  

Even though I was NOT and never have used the wireless bridging option,
when I connected an ethernet cable and explicitly disabled wifi
bridging, it solved the problem.

I had the same symptoms that others have reported.

I have a Squeezebox Classic, and when the problem started, I was
running Squeezebox Server 7.4.  (Not sure what firmware version I
had.)

A couple weeks ago, Rhapsody stopped working.  
All other apps worked fine.
In Rhapsody, I could browse/search for albums/tracks, make a selection,
it would say it was buffering, then act like it was playing, but no
sound.
I tried switching from Squeezebox Server to mysqueezebox.com, but it
didn't help.

I upgraded to the latest version of Squeezebox Server - v 7.6 -
r32854.
Reading the release notes from 7.5, and seeing there was fix for
Rhapsody, I was hopeful that this would fix the problem.

After the server upgrade, my Squeezebox automatically updated to
firmware version 137.

I tried Rhapsody - no dice.
Same exact symptoms: I could connect and browse, but no music!

After reading this forum, I decided to try plugging in an ethernet
cable and disabling wireless bridging.

Now here's the thing: I have never used wireless bridging.  I have only
connected my Squeezebox to my LAN wirelessly.  I did not have an
ethernet cable plugged in.  By definition, wireless bridging is all
about bridging a wireless connection with a wired one.  To use it, you
have to have a wired ethernet connection to some other device!  Not
having an ethernet cable plugged in, I did not think the comments about
wireless bridging would be relevant to my setup.  But I didn't know what
else to try, so...

I plugged in the ethernet cable, connected it to my router, held down
the left arrow to re-do the network setup, chose "No" on the wireless
bridge option, and after going through the rest of the setup, Rhapsody
worked!

I immediately disconnected the ethernet cable, and Rhapsody continues
to work with no problems.

So if you are only using wireless, don't worry: you don't need to keep
the cable connected permanently.  You just have to plug it in long
enough to re-do the networking setup.

Hokie, thank you so much for the tip. I will add a comment to the bug
you logged.

Mcoste and IceFusion, thanks for your posts.  I wouldn't have expected
the wifi bridging to be the problem in my case since I wasn't using it,
but your posts saying that you needed to connect an ethernet cable to
disable bridging convinced me to try it.
