The Rhapsody Media Player

This software works together with the Rhapsody Service on the internet and your Rhapsody membership to provide you with the whole package of Rhapsody features.

Use the Rhapsody Media Player to play local (computer resources such as drives or files that are part of a computer, or available on a Local Area Network; music files located on your computer's hard drive(s) are referred to as "local") or streaming (process of breaking a large audio or video file into smaller pieces and transferring it, piece by piece, so it can be viewed immediately rather than waiting for the whole file to be downloaded) music.

What kind of music can I play with the Rhapsody Media Player?

Local Media Files		Rhapsody can play most common digital media files that you have on your computer. You can play individual files by selecting File > Play Track from Diskin the Rhapsody menus, or you can add local (computer resources such as drives or files that are part of a computer, or available on a Local Area Network; music files located on your computer's hard drive(s) are referred to as "local") files into My Library so you can find, play, and manage them easily.

When you are online, Rhapsody can retrieve from its servers (any machine or program that is ‘serving’ information to another machine or program; RealServers, for instance, serve content to Rhapsody) related CD information (such as track names, artist name, and album art). In addition, you can import tracks from your CDs and even burn custom CDs.
