I subscribe to Rhapsody, the music service. I have no Windows machines any more (except for my work laptop), but that’s OK: Rhapsody has a web client, that (barely) works on Macs. Recently, I decided to
try to make it work on my Ubuntu machine.
I use Ubuntu at work, for non-work things. Since I telecommute, I have no local IT support, to fix computer diseases, and so I need to protect my Windows laptop at all costs: no browsing anything that I (or my company) didn’t write.
So I have a separate machine, running Ubuntu Linux, for Web browsing, music playing, video watching, etc., as well as a backup server.
Everything works great, except that the Rhapsody plugin for Firefox wouldn’t function.
It was a bit of a slog to make it work, which I lay out here, in hopes that others will find it useful.
