Rhapsday Sets Us Straight On Their New MP3 Directory
Ya gotta love the power of blogging. When you get it even a little bit wrong somebody – in this case the mega-company itself – is gonna correct you.
I posted earlier in the week regarding Rhapsody’s new MP3 Directory designed to make it easier to find which songs they are offering DRM-free. While I applauded the move I noted that it was not as easy as one would like to find mp3’s in the general Rhapsody music storefront. Matt Grave’s of Rhapsody’s parent company Real wrote to say:
“…there actually is a way to see if a song you’re looking for is available as an MP3, but it’s not in the search results. instead, you need to go to the album page where the songs are available. if you look at the right side of the interface, there is a “buy” button that allows you to purchase downloads. when a song is available as an MP3, this button will read “buy MP3.”
this is just a preliminary version of our MP3 store. we’ve gotten good feedback so far from subscribers but we’ll be refining and improving things in the coming months. thanks for the feedback.”
Thanks for the clarification, Matt!
