Rhapsody's Catalog Shyness
Derek Slater: What's with these changing rights on rentals on Rhapsody music service? "I had been listening to the album for a few weeks, when, today, I noticed that I can no longer play 'URAQT' off the Universal release, and that the single version is only available for sale and not for streaming. Same goes for 'Bucky Done Gone', though I can play it off the Beggar's Banquet release. What gives?"

Comments
It's a great question-- and there are lots of answers.
Music that's available in the Rhapsody service (or any service --Napster, Yahoo etc.) can be taken down for a number of reasons, from re-encoding (if users complain about skips or sound quality) to requests from our label partners.
In the latter case, services like Rhapsody offer music with the set of rights that are granted by our label partners (i.e. available for any and/or all of the following: on-demand streaming, tethered download, portable device transfer, purchase). If those partners ask us to change those rights, we do. If we think that the partner may have mistakenly asked us to remove a song or album (mistakes happen!), we ask them about it and in many cases that music is made available again through the service. If we think that we should have rights to certain songs/albums/artists under our agreements with a label, we ask about that, too. We're constantly striving to make as much music available as possible, with as much flexibility as possible in how our users can enjoy that music -- whether it's streaming it, downloading it, buying it, or transferring it to a portable device. Hope that helps -- happy to answer more questions on this if anyone's curious.

The North Face Jackets came from North Face Canada which do a better job for keeping you both warm and dry. The cotton and wool can attract damp. The cotton next to your skin so that it can absorb your sweat, it also leave you feeling chilled and damp. The top quality synthetic fabric of the North Face Mens Jackets is designed to wick moisture away from your skin and encourage the moisture to travel to the next layer. This is what is known as "breathing". The fabric allows the moisture generated by sweat and exercise to pass through the fabric, and the fabric doesn't trap the moisture and become damp. A natural fabric such as cotton doesn't do this satisfactorily, and will get damp over a period of time. Now that the North Face Down Jackets Womens Sale on our online shop, all are cheap and high quality, you will like it.

The amazing thing is that we actually have a hard-wired response in our brain that gives us a feeling of indebtedness to another person when they do one very simple thing...give us something.

Sen. Ashford can hold all the hearings he wants and his hearings will not solve one thing. If our Mayor would make sure that no illegals are working in Omaha, that would open up jobs for our young people. Action is what we need out of our Mayor.
