Sharing

You can share your Rhapsody listening experience with your friends. Post a RhapLink (link to Rhapsody music, generated by the Share process; a RhapLink can be e-mailed, blogged, posted to a web site, or shared via instant messaging program) to music on your web site or blog (web log; online diary or log kept on a web site), email a RhapLink, send a RhapLink by instant messenger, publish playlists to Playlist Central, or share playlists you find there.

You can share any Rhapsody track (a track that has been streamed, downloaded, or purchased from Rhapsody), as well as tracks purchased from RealPlayer. 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.") tracks (imported CD tracks and files added from your hard drives) are not available for sharing.

Note: You can share music whether you have a free account, or a paid membership.
