Rhapsody "most popular" music service

I just noticed this on the Comcast site:

http://www.comcast.com/Benefits/CHSI...ot4PageOne.asp

Quote:
Now when you get Comcast High-Speed Internet, you'll get three free months of Rhapsody, the nation's most popular music service.
How is Rhapsody "most popular"? Or is this false advertising?

Like the word "lite", "popular" probably has no legal definition.

I just e-mailed them to clarify the false advertising.

isnt Rhapsody owned by best buy or do they just promote it? Apple needs to market more agressivly and needs to start getting endorsments from big names like comcast. By the way i was just wondering how everybody else feels about apples marketing strategy.

Rhapsody IS the best Music "Service". Apple doesn't have a Music "Service", they have a Music "Store". "Service" implies reoccurring fees to maintain whats going on. Rhapsody has a better "Service" then Napster, and MusicNow. Rhapsody is owned by Real Networks. The address for the service is http://www.listen.com/ . I have messed around with the service, and if I didn't have 2290 songs, I would use it on my PC. The service is very very robust. For 10 a month, you can listen to anything you want from the music collection a lot like Napster. Apple isn't a Music "Service" because you can't pay $10 a month for unlimited listening. I am not saying that is a bad thing, I don't need a Music "Service", but as far as Music "Service"'s go, Rhapsody is the best. As far as Music "Store"'s, Apple is the best.
