I could not agree more with this post. Sonos + Rhapsody = bliss and I can not understand why people continue to buy music. When I read about a new ablum in the newspaper, I quickly dial it up on my Sonos and listen to it. Top ten albums of the year? I just listen to them all. And so on….. Sonos is the best piece of electronics I’ve EVER bought.

Pandora (http://www.pandora.com) works with Sonos. It’s so cool. I just pick a personal station and forget it! Haven’t bought music yet..

Sonos is nice, but it’s not for serious listening. Plus, a 2.4 Ghz phone will kill the signal when in use. I sold mine as it’s built-in antennae is weak in comparison to a wireless router.

As for Rhapsody, if you like hearing music at a quality level equal to only FM of the 1970’s by all means.

Once again, the media promotes mediocrity over quality, i.e. Bose.

I use it with Napster too. Works like a charm. Why pay 99 cents a song and fiddle around with an ipud. Sonos and Napster (and sonos and sirrus, sonos and rhapsody) are the way to go.
Play whatever you want On DEMAND throughout the house!

We use Sonos here at work and LOVE it. Once they released the rhapsody search feature, we all fell in love again. Since there are several of us in our office, we all have the sonos software installed on our PC’s which enables all of us to search, queue, and control all aspects of the Sonos – MUCH easier than using the remote, which is mostly useless when searching for a song.

Anyway – the sonos software could be improved in a lot of areas – all of which would only be icing to the cake.

I use Sonos with Napster and the combo works like a charm. I used to use Rhapsody but switched to Napster because I encountered licence issue when trying to download subscription tracks to my mp3 player. Napster works like a charm.

I second your comments on poor Rhapsody customer service from the Indian call center. Also, you cannot cancel your Rhapsody membership online. You have to call up the Indian call center.

I own a SONOS and I still buy physical media. When you combine lossy compression with the unreliability of streaming services that you mention, you get a dodgy source that is intolerable to serious music fans.

How did you get your controller to stop freezing all the time? Mine has been reset by me, the factory techs, and a couple guys from Geek Squad on different occasions, and it still freezes virtually every time I pick it up

A few reasons why many people still buy music:

1) More money goes directly to artists, especially small, independent artists, when buying an album directly from them, and supporting artists financially is about the best way possible to get them to produce more music.

2) I can listen to it when I don’t have an Internet connection (e.g., on planes, other countries, hiking/backpacking in the wilderness…you know, those places you can’t go if you only listen to music on your home system).

3) Physical media is nice. It’s a good backup. And, when Rhapsody goes away, as it inevitably will, what will *you* have? Nothing but a smaller bank account and an empty music collection.

I’m suprised you have Rhapsody streaming issues on your PC. I use the Rhapsody client on my PC with no problems at all – either playing on my PC or streaming to a Roku Soundbridge (Sonos alternative for those who have a mortgage to pay).
