I've used the majority of the streaming services out there, and this seems to be the best. It also integrates with Control4 (which I have in my home) so my "My Library" transfers to my home system (and all my remotes) so I can play was is essentially "my jukebox of favorite songs" from my couch... and it's nice that it's legal!
I've been a Rhapsody customer since 2004 and they are great most of the time. I'm on a MAC so I only use the web version and it blows my mind they don't have a MAC version. Last time I used the desktop it was crap anyway.
With the web app it constantly has problems streaming songs and is inconsistent at best. Although I would never cancel Rhapsody, I do wish they would make some much needed improvements.
Bad client, good service. Why does it advertise DLNA on my network when I can't play any damn songs through it? I assume it must do this for compatibility with certain devices like sonos.
Great subscription service, but it's true about the huge memory usage. And it inexplicably doesn't let me log in sometimes. And the web version doesn't work on Mac last time I tried. Dumb. Still, it's the cheapest way to hear the most music on demand.
Huge memory usage,not user-friendly.
