The Rhapsody to-go service still uses DRM-protected 160kbps WMA files.    It's been the same format for at least a decade.


Now that's surprising, I had no idea Rhapsody was still "alive" and using WMA.  Sure enough, they even have a smartphone app for streaming.  They even purchased Napster in 2011.  That's the legal, not very successful or fun Napster though.


Yeah, they shifted their focus several years ago to streaming and smartphones but still kept the download service going for people with Sansa players and such.  However, they stopped doing any substantial updates a long time ago.  So it really became outdated.  I guess enough people still use it where it makes sense for them continue it for now.
