RealNetworks have launched their own music service, called Rhapsody.

RealOne RHAPSODY offers consumers unlimited, ‘all you can eat’ access to the broadest library of major and independent label music with more than 330,000 tracks available for on-demand listening and more than 200,000 songs available for transferring to CD, aka ‘burning.’ At only 79¢ per track, RealOne RHAPSODY offers subscribers the lowest per-burn price available to U.S. consumers through any of the new generation of digital music services.

There are some interesting comments in the Slashdot post, especially some of the ones that compare the value of this to Apple's offering. Of course, moot point for us, because it is only available to people in the USA (also known as "the only country on the Internet").

i got this thing called audio something rhapsody, and it just zoomed through the DL's only could hear 30c worth though unless you signed up, and then they had a trial and you could get full songs, but they go as soon as you have to pay again, awesome program cept songs that aren't so popular, or newer, you couldnt get.

REAL can suck a phat one

if real have anything to do with it the music will sound like ass

Where are these countries outside the USA you speak of?

only available to people in the USA

That just wants me to fire up kazaa and download more yanky music.

I never dl oz music, im proud of my oz cd collection.

At only 79¢ per track

I'm guessing thats US cents, which means that it costs about $12US for an album which you have to download yourself, at sub-par audio quality with no actual tangible materials like a CD, case and booklet. What a f***ing wrought

hihi
I can still get it US$0.79 cheaper so i will get it elsewhere.

(also known as "the only country on the Internet in the world").
