For me, Rhapsody has always tainted by association with RealNetworks/RealPlayer. In retrospect, perhaps I was hoping for too much from an application that claimed to be able to reliably stream audio (and video!) over a 14.4 modem, but what other options did we have? Still though... "Buffering". Ugh. Furthermore, once mp3s became widely available and "streaming" began to seem less important, I feel like Real probably set us back at least 3 or 4 years by providing record labels with a panacea (i.e "Streaming's not downloading!") that ruined the UX of a lot of otherwise excellent sites and ultimately only served to delay the inevitable. One could argue that Spotify is doing basically the same thing, but at least they're Swedish!
