Feeling the sunlight on my face.
Has anyone used their Coke Reward Points to get anything from Rhapsody? I'm a little confused. I see you can get a free 1 month subscription to Rhapsody To Go for 268 points which seems like a good deal. But then I see another reward that's just for 1 album from Rhapsody for 225 points which is why I'm confused. It just seems weird to me that one album would take that many points but then for just a few points more you can get a one month subscription. Is it a scam? You do get music with the subscription don't you? You don't have to pay a seperate fee for songs? :huh:
 
OK I don't use Rhapsody, never have and I could be totally off, but this is my guess. Songs d/l via subscription would be using Windows Digital Rights Management (DRM), meaning they are protected and can only be used on certain computers for a certain amount of time before they need to re-authenticate and renew their license, and cannot be burned onto a CD. Then perhaps with the album, you get mp3s that don't contain DRM and you can burn them or use them as you please.

That's just a guess.
