Disadvantages
  • Does not allow tracks to be downloaded onto a
    hard drive
  • Music can not be stored on an MP3 Player
  • The only way to transfer Rhapsody tracks onto
    your hard drive or MP3 player is by extracting
    the tracks from the CD with an audio ripper, such
    as Musicmatch Jukebox
  • When you buy tracks, they're recorded directly to
    a CD by a burning app that's built into the
    Rhapsody software.
  • The CDs are recorded as audio discs, and files
    are inconveniently named Track 1, Track 2, and so
    on.
