It also answers a growing call by consumers for services that can work anywhere regardless of location. No desktop application aside from a Web browser will be required to access Rhapsody via the Web, the company said. A beta version of the service will be made available on Monday. Users will only be able to stream music to their computers; downloading songs would still require the Rhapsody desktop application. The service will allow users to listen to 25 songs for free, or an unlimited number with a paid subscription."</i><br /><br />That is so cool to hear. I have not gone with Rhapsody yet mainly because I have been slacking on a decision about what new audio device I am going to get and am waiting to see what kind of DRM it will support, probably something off of Napster to go. But Rhapsody is something that I constantly think about getting. Hmm, I think I am going to have to jump in now.
