I use Rhapsody WMA files all the time with Winamp and WMP. As long as you keep your licenses up to date by running the Rhapsody software every so often, they play just fine with any media player that is aware of Windows media DRM.

From the review at http://mp3.about.com/od/digitalmusicdelivery/fr/Rhapsodyreview.htm, it says: File Formats: Rhapsody has its own DRM system just like the iTunes Store does to protect its music files. The DRM system that is used is known as Helix. The file format that is used with this encryption technology is RAX (AAC encapsulated in Helix). You can alternatively download WMA files if you prefer; these are protected with Microsoft's WMDRM system. I don't use Rhapsody myself, but the implication that you could only get Real audio files from Rhapsody didn't sound right to me, so a quick trip to Google gave me the above information.
