Rhapsody Beta - New Web Interface

Rhapsody has just released a new beta version of its service that allows you to stream music content via your web browser. The beta version does not replace the stand-alone software, rather, it offers users a simpler and easier way to stream music.

After testing it for a few hours today, I came away feeling that it was a nice supplement to the stand-alone player, but far from a complete package. To use the Rhapsody-to-go service, burn CD's and organize your music, you still need to open up the stand-alone software. However, if you just want to log on for a quick listen, the web interface works nicely. The design and function of the web interface is very similar to that of the software.

Bottom line: If you are listening to music at home on your main computer, I'd suggest sticking with the stand-alone software. However, if you are at a work computer or at a freind's house, this is a nice way to access your Rhapsody account without loading the full software onto the computer.
