amassed lust

I promised that I’d give my full scoop on Real Rhapsody soon and today I plan on keeping that promise.

A while back I downloaded and installed Real Rhapsody on a fourteen day trial. I’ve had and used Real Rhapsosdy in the past but heard they had made several improvements. They also sent an email asking me to give it a second chance.

So I decided to be fair and give it another install and ignore my previous poor experience with the software and the service.

The install went fairly quickly but attempted to install Spyware on my system, thankfuly I caught it hidden away in the installer and was able to prevent it from infecting my system. Strike 1. Big strike 1.

After a fairly quick install I signed in using my account name and password found some tracks to play and started arranging them in to a play list.

Easy enough thus far.

I found the music catalog to be extensive enough but the player was already using a large chunk of memory and space on my screen.

One feature I found handy was the ability to make the player a small bar that when hovering your mouse over the right hand or left hand side it would display what is playing.

I however have the Logitech G-15 keyboard which normally displays what music I am playing on my keyboard LCD but out of the hundreds of applications I’ve used Real Rhapsody is the first one to NOT display this information on my keyboard.

The more I used Rhapsody the slower my PC  got. Strike 2.

The already large footprint of the Real Rhapsody software simply continues to grow the longer it is open. Even after closing the application the process keeps running for over thirty minutes eating resources.

Any software that I pay per month for that installs spyware on my machine is an instant DOES NOT APPROVE from me.

So Real Rhapsody… you are nothing but a REAL piece of crap.
