Posted by michael on from the music-wants-to-be-expensive dept.

fupeg writes "Spurred on by Apple's success, as well as their own purchase of listen.com, Real Networks announced their own online music service, dubbed RealOne Rhapsody. Here is the press release. They're offering songs at $0.79 per song, but with a $9.99/month subscription. The first two months are free. The press release says that 2/3 of their 300,000 song catalog is available for CD burning, while everything is available for 'on-demand' listening."

    With more than 50 FM stations in a 25 mile radius (Boston rocks), it really gets close to listen-on-demand... especially for indie stuff, since we have such a large amount of college stations.
