Truth be told, I was trying to buy a copy of Molly Hatchet's Flirting with Disaster* and I signed up for Rhapsody by mistake thinking it was a download service. Actually, the service provides streaming files so you don't actually "save" a physical file (although it appears to cache them). Think 500,000 track radio station that you can program. The obvious downside to the service is if you cancel, no more music.

The thing that makes this nice for me is I can actually listen to these albums without having the CDs (which is a little tough right now being in France). Which is what I'm doing with the Mark Lanegan albums right now. The CDs I bought via Amazon are at my folks place in PA but I've been listening to Winding Sheet, Scraps at Midnight, and I'll Take Care of You. I just started listening to Here Comes that Weird Chill (Lexington Slowdown is the favorite so far). He keeps reminding me of Robbie Robertson with an axe to grind.

*I found a set of high school mix tapes the other day that needed to be an Empeg playlist. Flirtin with Disaster featured prominently in transitioning from Cum on Feel the Noize to Centerfold
