Online music subscription services allows burns

Less than half of the 282,000 tracks of this online music subscription service are now available for downloading and burning (copying)onto a CD. About time. According to this Wall Street Journal story (subscription required):

Starting Thursday, a legal online music service called Rhapsody, which holds licenses from the big record labels, will begin offering its customers the opportunity to burn songs onto a CD for just 49 cents apiece. Users can burn as many songs, from as many artists, as they like.

...There are some catches in Rhapsody's new offering, available at the Web site of Rhapsody's owner, Listen.com (www.listen.com), a small San Francisco-based company, and at Rhapsody licensee Lycos Music (music.lycos.com). For one thing, you can't get the 49-cent songs unless you subscribe to the service, at $10 a month. For another, the 49-cent price is a promotion good only through March 31.
