I get the same message. Why Rhapsody anyway? You have wget on your side.
wget -q -r -l1 -H -t1 -nd -N -np -A.mp3 -i ~/sites_list
In the file sites_list, put addresses of Web sites which deliver free music
(e.g. demos). Spearate different domain with a newline.
Run this and go to bed. Wake up and you'll have gigabytes of
freely-distributed music, from which to delete what does not suit your
taste.
...as much music as your hard-drive can hold, as quickly as your network
capacity will bear... options above preserve good 'Net citizenship'.
Hope it helps,
Roy
