PCWorld tried our Real’s updated Rhapsody service, including the new ‘Rhapsody To Go,’ Real’s implementation of the Windows Media Player 10 DRM that lets you rent downloaded tracks and even listen to them on your portable music player. I’m a fan of these services, for what they are, but it seems that Rhapsody To Go just didn’t work—at least not for PC World. Having reviewed Napster To Go for Laptop Mag and running into similar hurdles, I’m not surprised. Obviously these services can work, but all of them seem to exhibit at least a certain degree of wonkiness.
There is a new version of the Rhapsody To Go software coming out in a few days, though, so hopefully that knocks the service back on track.
