It's interesting, but there are some products that at first viewing you just don't get. That's how it was with me and . The first time I saw it, I thought it was silly. I have about 30GB of digital music on my computer, and I'm pretty happy with my music collection. Furthermore, the idea of paying $9.99 for Rhapsody Unlimited (which gives you unlimited streams and downloads but no transfers to portable devices) or $14.99 a month for Rhapsody To Go (which lets you transfer your downloads to a portable device) made no sense at all. Of course, being one of the curious ones, I decided to give it whirl. You know, just to see what the hype was about. That was the biggest mistake I think I've ever made. I freakin' love it! Whether hanging out at my apartment, at work, or at my mom's house, the ability to have all the music that I want to hear available at the other end of a broadband connection (any broadband connection) is truly amazing. But it's worse than that. I'm spreading my addiction to my friends. A month or so ago, I was hanging out with my buddy Al, who was still dabbling in the unstable world of P2P networks. I told him that he needed to grow up and starting paying for stuff. With that in mind, I fired up Rhapsody, and he, like me, seemed skeptical. I told him to put together a playlist and just have some fun with it. So here I am sitting in my office a month later when a text message appears on my cell phone from Al that simply reads, "Rhapsody rocks!" Another one bites the dust.
