I listen to Launchcast Plus, yahoo's version of internet radio. It works similar to how you described Rhapsody. Or else I listen to my iTunes playlist containing more than 500 of my favorite songs I've either purchased and downloaded or imported from CD's. I stay away from rap when I'm concentrating. With that genre, you have to listen to the words and it's too distracting. I prefer techno. Groups like Moby, the Chemical Brothers, Kraftwerk, etc., upbeat with few if any lyrics.

Babe, that's kind of how it is with Rhapsody
I think I pay about $6 a month and I can listen to the songs all I want. I only have to pay for them if I want to actually download them. I rarely do that because I am usually at my computer when I'm listening. There is no extra charge to listen to the songs streaming.

I listen to iTunes. When I was a kid my parents wouldn't listen to country music. I never became a big country fan but I did hear songs maybe once when I was a kid and I realized I would like to hear them again. So I buy them from iTunes for a buck, listen three or four times, and then abandon them. It's an inexpensive harmless hobby I guess.

I don't either
Most of the time CNN is on in the background... a very bad habit.

Pat, I'm going to look those up
I have many moments where soothing music is just what is called for.

I like the new Aaron Neville release. Gentle guitar, old fave vocals.
Also have "Spanish Lavender" a CD of Patricio Contreras' guitar solos - he's an adjunct teacher at Seattle Central. Just a guitar, songs he loves, drifting and soothing and erasing the traffic noise. A nice version of the Pacal Bel (sp?) Canon, others. Blues, old jazz, it's all good.
