Unlimited Access to 600,000+ Songs
|
|
RealNetworks RealRhapsody offers one of the largest catalogs out there for downloading online music with a database of more than 45,000 searchable albums and over 600,000 songs from 5 major labels. Thousands of new songs are added everyday. You only need to pay a monthly subscription ($9.95) to access unlimited streaming of songs, as opposed to paying per song.
You can perform genre-based and artist-based searches for songs and build personalized playlists from the huge database of songs.
RealRhapsody provides you with unlimited listening! You can listen to music all day long, and explore new artists and a lot of terrific music that way, which is not something one can really do with Apple iTunes or other pay-per-song services. |
You won't have to spend hundreds of dollars on a 120 GB hard drive to store the songs on your computer anymore, because RealRhapsody stores them on their system for you. Access your songs anywhere in the world by logging into your account from any computers.
RealRhapsody contains no hackers, viruses, corrupted files or spywares, unlike other free file-sharing softwares. No longer do you have to bear the worry of R.I.A.A. sueing you for infringement of copyright laws. RealRhapsody is approved by R.I.A.A.
Compile Custom CDs and Personalized Radio Stations
RealRhapsody also allows you to compile a custom CD at only $0.79 per song or download 192-Kbps AAC tracks from the RealPlayer Music Store for $0.99 each, although there's no reason to download tracks, since they're always available for streaming with RealRhapsody.
 Build custom radio stations (128Kbps CD-quality streaming) with RealRhapsody which features more than 60 customized uninterrupted ad-free online radio stations and well-programmed artist samplers, perfect for people who don't necessarily want to work for their music.
RealRhapsody radio stations stream songs at a passable 128Kbps and includes all the songs in Rhapsody's catalog. You can skip past songs you don't like. While plenty of free online radio stations are programmed just as well as Rhapsody's, almost none offers the ability to skip past unwanted songs.
Album Reviews and Artist Biographies
Other than in-house content with up-to-date staff picks and new release reviews, RealRhapsody also has a large database of artist biographies and album reviews.
Our Lab Test Conclusion
The controls of RealRhapsody look futuristic and are easy to navigate. You can search through Rhapsody's library of music using the large window on the lower right. The song you are playing will appear in your current playlist on the lower left. You can save and organize playlists in order to listen to your favorite songs in whatever order you wish as long as you are online.
RealRhapsody packs curious factoids about artists, which makes it fun to browse. Rhapsody includes links to artists' official Web sites and suggests related artists that might match what you enjoy. It even includes song information on albums that it doesn't carry, which makes it a truly useful resource.
RealRhapsody is surprisingly responsive over cable modem; in our tests, songs started playing almost as quickly as if they were stored locally.
