Probably violates your terms of service, grant of limited license, or other fine print you've agreed to.

FYI, the new, legal $10/month Napster 2.0 does let you legally keep their files (128 kbps WMA) on your hard drive (up to 3 PCs) for playing locally. If you want to burn CDs or copy them to a portable then you have to buy tracks for the usual 0.99 track / $10 CD.

I've been using it for a couple of weeks now, and it's half-excellent. Sound quality is good (not CD, but better than radio), and playing from the hard drive means no infamous RealEvil streaming glitches. The bad part is that roughly half of the 100 or so CDs I've searched for are not available.

I'd go for that if it were higher quality.

Ok, we've all debated the legality of file sharing and services like Allofmp3, but I think I've found a way to legally jack music and not feel bad about it.

Replay music is an application that captures rhapsody streams and records them to the hard drive. In their legality FAQ it states that it is very similar to TIVO or VCR's, etc.. I completely agree. It reminds me of the old days when I would tape music off the radio. The fact that you have to listen to the song while recording requires a little bit of work, but who cares. I just load up my rhapsody playlist and let it stream all night. It splits the files automatically and some files it automatically tags. It's a brilliant application.

What does everyone else think about this?

You are an idiot.
