I would assume that means there is a new version, then. I wouldn’t know, I am a Yahoo! Music Unlimited user now. Fuck Rhapsody.

[UPDATE] A friend of mine called to cancel Rhapsody (to switch to Yahoo!) about a month ago and was told that a new version would be out in a couple weeks and they would extend his subscription for free until the new version came out. He installed Yahoo! Music Engine anyway, which was a good thing, because the guy who promised him he would get Rhapsody for free until the new version came out apparently lied.

Tell me how the new version is, when you try it.

I still suggest you switch to the cheaper Yahoo! Music Unlimited. I think it is already better than Rhapsody and it also has a far far greater potential due to the fact that people can write plug-ins for it and because, unlike Rhapsody, the team at Yahoo! Music Engine actually cares. Not only do they care, they care a lot. From everything I’ve seen over the last 2 years as a Rhapsody subscriber, the Real Rhapsody team doesn’t care about their subscribers’ needs or wants at all.

Is there already (June 22) another new, post version 3, Rhapsody update? I got a “must update” message when I tried to connect today.

Perhaps Real has received enough complaints about 3.0 that they’re continuing to make the 2.1 client available, at least for the time being…
