If you want an excellent-sounding, reliable, proven media receiver that features native support (and does an excellent job of it) for rhapsody, the answer is the Roku soundbridge. Now avaialable for $150 for the wireless model (wireless b but firmware for g should be out soon now that linksys is producing a wireless g compact flash card). (The cost is after a $50 mail-in rebate.) I have had mine for 6 weeks and I haven't put a CD in my stereo since. The comination is dynamite. (You can also get an ethernet version — better – because it's faster connection, but wired for only $100 after rebate.)

You might want to complain to RealNetworks too (not their techsupport, but try to get a hold of the Rhapsody/Real Player team.)

I also have gone round and round with rhapsody and rockford. I only bought my omnifi unit because of their claim that it would work with rhapsody. But now i am stuck with this unit that does not fit my needs.I would never have spent this much money on this product if i knew that their advertised claims were not true. The latter is really a shame because I am a true car audio enthusiast and will consider more carefully where i spend my money.(rockford)

I learned from Omnifi (Rockford) Support that, although they advertise compatibility with Rhapsody Music Service, their media player is not compatible with the latest Rhapsody version 3 software.

Their support staff are arrogant.
