I never thought I&#146;d say it, but I&#146;m changing my tune about subscription music services.<p>
When MusicNet and Pressplay launched their monthly subscription services late last year, I was unimpressed. Their music catalogs were limited, the software was clunky, and the copyright protection features seemed unduly restrictive. I wondered how they could ever compete with the seductive (read: free) charms of file sharing. But last week I decided to try out Listen.com&#146;s <a href="http://clickthru.online.com/Click?q=ea-fjLyQhV4XV2SrBzAwQ4lAUw-5WnR" >Rhapsody</a>, a subscription streaming music service that recently managed to secure recordings from all five major labels. And now I&#146;m rethinking my stance.<p>
Rhapsody is not for everyone. If you like to burn your MP3s to CD or download them to a portable player, you&#146;ll want to look elsewhere; Rhapsody allows CD burning only for a small portion of its catalog, and only for an extra charge, and you can&#146;t download MP3s at all. But what Rhapsody does have is music, and lots of it--thousands of albums of all major genres on demand as well as tons of preprogrammed radio stations. I think Listen.com might be onto something with its streaming service. Would you pay 10 bucks a month for a service that has all the music you could ask for, but won't allow you to actually download MP3s? Let me know at <a href="mailto:edit@download.com?subject=rhapsody%20rules">edit@download.com</a><p>

<b>Here are some representative responses from last week's question on who should take the blame for Web sites not being compatible in every browser:</b>
<p><FONT size="-1" color=006633><i>"Web builders should be doing as much as possible to support the broadest possible usage by their target audience"</i></font><p>
A little over half the responses put the onus of compatibility on builders.
<p><FONT size="-1" color=006633><i>"There are far less browser makers than there are Web builders and users. So it doesn't make sense for users or Web builders to do that job does it?."</i></font><p>
After Web builders, browser manufacturers got the most blame, although this response makes the best argument.
<p><FONT size="-1" color=006633><i>"The ordinary users are one group most at fault since they tend to stick to only one browser."</i></font><p>
Few responses said users should take responsibility, as most respondents fall into the Web user category.
<p><FONT size="-1" color=006633><i>"As a professional designer, I say proprietary code is downright evil, no matter who it comes from--and no matter what nifty trick it does."</i></font><p>
Quite a number of Web builders wrote in, with many taking responsibility while noting the difficulty of testing in every browser.
<p><FONT size="-1" color=006633><i>"Because Web pages are viewed 90 percent of the time by IE it is understandable that the time spent to make a site compatible with the remaining tiny minority has to be justified."</i></font><p>
A few responses quoted server logs, making the point that it's not cost efficient to make sites compatible for people who choose a low-market share browser.
