The Rhapsody service itself was great until version 4.0; then it sucked. I ran into problems with the flash interface, licensing issues with the old 3.x DRM-WMA files and the new DRM-RAX files, and just general crashes and lockups. They recently raised the price for everyone to $34.00 a quarter; up from $25.00. Also, tech and sales support on the phone was abysmal. They're also forcing all users of 3.x to update to 4.x.
I recently canceled the service and am sorry to do so. It was a great stable service in it's 3.x iteration. Now it's just overpriced, DRM infected garbage.
