Rhapsody and MOG team up

Caroline McCarthy over at CNET reports that Rhapsody, the subscription music service owned by RealNetworks, has teamed up with music blog network and social networking site .com to provide, well, music.

Through this partnership, songs mentioned on ’s blogs are accompanied by a yellow “play” button that allows users to access the full-length streaming file through Rhapsody, which offers a total of about 4.5 million independent and major-label songs in its catalog. “We couldn’t be more excited to have Rhapsody enabling music listening on ,” founder and CEO David Hyman said in a joint press release. “With today’s release, has put more key pieces in place towards its goal of building the ultimate online music community.”

Rhapsody’s full-length song playback is also now integrated into ’s “-o-Matic” downloadable music discovery software, creating playlists of recommended music based on what you play on your computer or portable music player. It’s social, too–you can listen to not only your playlist, but also those created by members of your friends’ list on . In addition, users can create custom playlists of Rhapsody songs, much like ’s streaming lineups.
