According to RealNetworks CEO ROb Glaser, a Rhapsody music service from Real will launch in Europe within the next six months to one year. Interestingly, in portions quoted from a FInancial Times Deutschland by News.com, the launch of the music service has been conditional on the following:
"Actions against file-sharing sites should intensify in Europe in the coming months. We are already seeing the first signs of this,'' Glaser told the paper.
He added… "European customers are still too much of the opinion that music is to be had for free."
Mr Glaser also commented that the margins on Rhapsody's unlimited music service are greater than those on per-track download sales.
