Rhapsody.com: Unlimited Music for $15 a Month

Are you tired of searching for free music on the Internet? Are you tired of waiting forever for songs to download, only to find out that it is not the rendition you are looking for, or that you don't like the song after all? Do you feel like it's not worthwhile to pay a buck for a song that you'll get tired of in a few months, or even weeks?

If you answered yes to any of the above questions, you should look toward Real Network's Rhapsody-To-Go service to solve your online music quandary. At $15 a month, you can have unlimited music at your finger tips for online streaming, or download to your mp3 player that you can take with you to the gym, in the car, or be plugged in to a speaker at a friend's party.

I found Rhapsody.com to be extremely pleasant and intuitive to use. It's great for discovering music and artists you are not familiar with, and the unfamiliar works by the familiar artists alike. Each artist page not only has the complete list of artist's albums and singles, but also offers information and links to the artist's contemporaries and influences. For example, by checking out The Cranberries' artist page on Rhapsody.com, you'll also discover The Sundays and Sinead O'Connor. There is also quite an international and Latin music selection, and covers most genres from Pop and Acid Jazz to Classical and New Age.

I find that on most days, their online streaming functionality is enough for me because I listen to music most of the time while sitting at my office desk. If this is also the case for you, then I would recommend getting the $10 monthly subscription which covers unlimited access to the Rhapsody.com website and the online streaming functionality. But if you are a commuter like my husband, and spends much time in traffic where good music is necessary to keep you sane, then I would recommend investing in the reasonably priced Sansa Rhapsody Mp3 player, so you can take your music with you anywhere. It's not by any of stretch of imagination that you can have hundreds of new songs on your Rhapsody player everyday.
