Rhapsody has a subscription service, but they provide software (guess which 
OS) that allows one to "purchase" content, as long as one doesn't mind using 
Windows or a Mac and is okay with DRM content ( three subscribers at last 
count, I think).  There is an option to burn a CD, 

I have VMWare somewhere around here, which I used to run Windows 2000 at one 
point, but it fell into disuse.  With my clean install of 10.2 I haven't 
bothered to reinstall it.  I also have Crossover, which I use to run Quicken 
(which hastened the demise of my VMWare partition).  I'll poke around the 
Wine site to see if anyone has tried using the Rhapsody software.  I may get 
some hits.  The SanDisk is considered "Linux Friendly" since it can be put 
into a mode that turns it into a usb drive, allowing straight copies to it 
without software other than a file manager or the cp command.
