rhapsody (mp3 player, albums, quote, artists, songs)

shicaca · 02-23-2008, 12:38 PM

I am looking for a site similar to rhapsody where I can pay a monthly fee, and download music to put on my MP3 player. I have never done this before, so I have a few questions. Is there a limit on how many songs you can download? Can I save the songs I downloaded to my computer using windows media player. Are there any other sites that are just as good and cheaper? If I cancel the service will I still have all the songs I downloaded?

My plan is to pay one months fee, download about twenty albums, and then cancel the service, and put all the music on my MP3 player. Will this work? Is it easy to do?

I dont care If all the songs are taken off my computer after a cancel the service as long as the songs/albums stay on my MP3 player.

Thanks for the help, im pretty ignorent on the subject.

How do they do that? I can understand them being able to stop them from working on your comp., but how would they get them to stop working on your mp3 player?

Either they have a play type timer....after a certain amount of plays the track needs to get re-licensed which it does every time you sync with your pc or it has a time set....like after a number of days without syncing the license will need to be renewed

You're enjoying the service the artist provided for you, and you're not paying for it?

Im kinda half and half on the issue of pirating stuff.
For one thing I think that music should be viewed as an art and therefore not commercialized, but on the other hand artists work hard on their music and I think they deserve money for it.

Musicians make money from gigs, not from CD sales. Only record companies get that while musicians get jipped.
