The major issue I have with Rhapsody is that the basic service only allows you to burn a CD. This would be great if you were getting the same thing that you could have bought in the store, but you aren't. You are getting some proprietary lossy format (converted to waveform). I don't know about you but when I put a CD in my stereo, I expect perfect sound quality (especially for something that I paid for)...and Rhapsody isn't providing that. Other than that, their service is pretty cool. The collection of music that they are offering is huge and it is available to stream for free. I don't mind the lossy format for streaming--because thats what I'd expect. I think they use a modified form of 128kbs mp3.

ITS THE END OF THE WORLD!! KODAK HAS STOPPED MAKING B&W PAPERS!!!! TIME TO START MAKING MY OWN!
Last time I checked, Kodak didn't have a monopoly on B&W photo paper (or photo anything). Try Ilford, its better paper anyways.
You'd be surprised how much they have... I wasn't expecting to find half of the stuff I did...but they have it and most of the time a lot of it.
