I'm a Rhapsody subscriber too, and while I still buy and listen to my CDs for the reasons you outline (i.e. Frank Zappa is my favorite artist and he's not on Rhapsody), I find myself listening to Rhapsody more and more. I did recently upgrade my phone and Rhapsody subscription to be able to listen to Rhapsody content in the car and at the gym, and I gotta tell you: I'm a complete subscription music convert. I totally love it and am finding all kinds of new stuff I like. I found this essay from a google search as I was wondering how my Rhapsody subscription gets divvied up among the artists I've played. I'm still really interested in knowing the answer to that. I.e., I have several friends who have released albums, which are available on Rhapsody. If I play them on Rhapsody instead of popping their CD in, would they get some pennies? Not sure, would love to know. I LOVE the idea that artists could actually be paid based on actual usage rather than the arcane weirdness method used to pay them now :/ Just wanted to thank and congratulate you on this really fine essay.
