Rhapsody has a subscription service, but they provide software (guess which OS) that allows one to "purchase" content, as long as one doesn't mind using Windows or a Mac and is okay with DRM content ( three subscribers at last count, I think). There is an option to burn a CD, I have VMWare somewhere around here, which I used to run Windows 2000 at one point, but it fell into disuse. With my clean install of 10.2 I haven't bothered to reinstall it. I also have Crossover, which I use to run Quicken (which hastened the demise of my VMWare partition). I'll poke around the Wine site to see if anyone has tried using the Rhapsody software. I may get some hits. The SanDisk is considered "Linux Friendly" since it can be put into a mode that turns it into a usb drive, allowing straight copies to it without software other than a file manager or the cp command. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
