I apologize, I did not mean to upset you. I subscribe to Rhapsody it plays through my Sonos without having any PC on. I just like music subscription services and would like them to work with the Ipod.
Real which owns Rhapsody makes money and their revenue is growing at 30-35% a years, so I think they are a successful company. Napster is not making money yet but their revenue is growing at 26% a year. I just saying that I do not think Apple makes money with Itunes, they should in the future.
I think they do, if they sold 1 billion track and 100 million Ipods that means they sold 10 tracks per Ipod sold or about 1 CDs worth of music. So I would not consider Itunes store a success, the Ipod is a success.
I agree, I am always finding new music with my Rhapsody membership. If I am in the mood for certain music I listen to it, if I had to pay for the music by the track I would not. I enjoy the Rhapsody stations, if I find an artist I like, I just add them to my library. I guess I am renting my cable tv stations, once I stop paying they all go away. Same goes for XM or Sirus. If you listen to the same 10 albums you listened to in high school subscription services are not the way to go. If you like discovering new music they are.

I guess that is my point, I consider Rhapsody a service. I can get the music I want on demand for about $9.
