When you sign in, Rhapsody will synchronize My
Library with your Rhapsody account
and show all your subscription
tracks ( 
) and playlists, along
with your local tracks.
If you sign in to your Rhapsody account from a different computer, subscription
tracks that you have downloaded ( 
) will
appear in My Library as streams ( ). You can choose to
re-download your subscription tracks at any time. You can even set your
My Library Preferences to automatically
download subscription tracks whenever you add a subscription track to
My Library.
Optionally, you can download to your current computer copies of tracks you previously purchased from the Music Guide on other computers, at no extra charge. (With this feature, you can maintain copies of your downloaded music on all your authorized computers.)
Note: You must have the appropriate subscription to add and download Rhapsody tracks to My Library, and for them to be synchronized between computers. Rhapsody 25 accounts do not include server-side synchronization, as all of the tracks in My Library are located on your hard drive.
Whether you have a paid subscription or not, non-Rhapsody files (such as tracks Imported from CDs, or imported local files) will appear in My Library when you sign in to your Rhapsody account on the computer where the files exist, but they are not synchronized by Rhapsody. They will not appear in My Library when you sign in from another computer.
