<<<Please explain what you didn't understand. I have a hard time understanding why anyone who has used iTUNES (or hasn't) can't understand Rhapsody almost instantly. Learning curve is very short.>>>
My wife acquired Rhapsody when she purchased the software so that she can stream media on our family web-site. Go figure my law firm site has no such streaming but my non-commercial family web-site does, talk about perverse values my wife has;)
In any event, I knew about the Rhapsody subscription service and attempted to sign up and get going on it to try it out, and I don't recall exactly what happened, but the dang thing simply did not work, it was not intuitive, it was not even counterintuitive, and it frustrated me to the point that I simply went to iTunes and started downloading stuff and there it was, no fuss no muss.
It may be that I have the resources that I can pay and download what I want without having to think about the cost (at least until my wife tried to put in even more improvements, this time to the backyard) that I was not willing to put up with the hassles of the subscription only service, but that is how I remember my experience.
So what I do is I'll just download and purchase songs from iTunes, or if iTunes doesn't have it, I'll buy it from Amazon and then load it on to my iTunes players. Given how little time I have, after it is taken up by stock investing in the side, I have not had time to learn another format or another way of doing things and had Rhapsody made the initial process easier for me, they may have captured me as a client about 6-12 months ago. Who knows, they may in the future as well. However, I've spent a lot of time loading up my iTunes catalog. I actually erased my old catalog off the hard drive by mistake, a few hundred dollars worth of stuff. Instead of bringing in the computer forensic guy to recover it (cost me a $1000 to recover my business documents) I still re-acquired my library. I guess on Rhapsody such a loss would not be possible.
