New Rhapsody Release Note Quite So Blissful?

"I was prepared to love the new version of the music streaming service Rhapsody, which adds portable subscriptions to its list of optional features. I'm a longtime Rhapsody subscriber with a lengthy commute, so the promise of being able to take the music I subscribe to anywhere I want is exciting. Unfortunately, in my experience, a big part of the new service just didn't seem to work. It's supposed to work like this: You download Real's new Rhapsody 3 player, and for $10 per month you can listen to music you stream on demand from Real's servers, or you can store as many tunes as you like from its million-song collection on your notebook's hard drive. For an extra $5 per month, you can upgrade to a Rhapsody To Go subscription, which, in theory, lets you transfer those tracks to a few supported portable digital audio players (not including any Apple IPod)."
