I got an email from Comcast recently that had a lot of crap I could care less about. However, there was a small little blurb that did catch my attention:
As a Comcast High-Speed Internet customer, you’re entitled to receive a wide range of benefits and services at no additional charge. One of these is called Rhapsody Radio(TM) Plus!

With Rhapsody Radio(TM) Plus, you can listen to over 100 commercial-free radio stations; create your own radio station based on your favorite artists; and download 25 free, full-length songs each month.

Simply download the latest Rhapsody Music Software and manage all your music in one place. This is the only music software you’ll ever need!
Click here for more information.
