Rhapsody is almost soooo cool!
Monday, December 17th, 2007If you’re into independent rock, you must use rhapsody! It has an outstanding collection of indie albums.
Here’s what rocks
- All the music! Literally you get to listen to millions of songs whenever you want.
- It works with your non-Ipod. You can take any of those millions of songs with you wherever you want.
- It’s cheap. $15 a month or $10 a month (about the price of a CD a month).
It’s just a pure pleasure to use Rhapsody from the standpoint of finding and listening to music. But wait!!!
Here’s what sucks
- Yes you get a lot of music but not all the music. If you’re into popular music, you’ll be disappointed to find out all those awesome hits you love aren’t available to listen without buying the song (just like in itunes). This is stupid and is probably the number one reason the subscription service hasn’t taken. Wake up music industry! It does have all the indie music tracks though.
- It doesn’t work with your Ipod. I’ll chalk this one up to Apple more than Rhapsody though but the problem is still there. If your an Ipod geek, I know, it’s not Apple’s fault. Just shut up…
- The software (web based or intalled) is sub par. Yeah it does the job but could be so much better. I imagine this is where the subscription model can really take off. It would be great if Rhapsody had better music sharing features, better profiling and suggestions, and a better overall user interface.
