The move, expected to be completed by March 31, is the first of several being planned by Real's management in Seattle in order to more tightly focus its business, which currently encompasses music, games, video and mobile messaging."</em></p><p>Any Rhapsody users out there? I toyed with the service a couple of years ago, and it seemed pretty good, but ultimately I'm not a big fan of subscription services - well, except for Zune Pass, which I can't get in Canada...</p>

Yup, I am - it's the one subscription service that is compatible with Macs and Linux boxes, though obviously desktop-only.
