Second request: the controls need to be more finger-friendly. IMO, I shouldn't be required to use the stylus for this sort of application.

Oh I dunno, at least with the Media Streamer UI you can compose playlists which is not currently possible in Canola. I prefer the Media Streamer UI for Rhapsody, but it isn't so finger friendly.
I wonder if Nokia are attempting the Guinness world record for "The highest number of different and incompatible GUI front ends for the same function on a single device"?
Currently we have Media Streamer/Rhapsody, Canola, Media Player, FM Radio and Park WiFi all performing pretty much the same media access duties. Wouldn't a single unified GUI be preferable to all these overlapping projects?

This is pretty cool. I used to subscribed to rhapsody for a couple months ,because the streaming worked in linux, and I found it pretty good.

Good luck.

Personally if they are I think "sucks" is a harsh assessment, but that's just me.
EDIT: and I agree with Milhouse. Unification! Unification!

For what it's worth, I downloaded it and it seemed to work OK, but when I queue up a half dozen or so specific songs [based on search results], it hangs and/or re-boots after only a few songs. This has happened four times so far. I have yet to get it to play more than three or four songs. No pauses before the hang/reboot, and my internet and wifi connections are quite solid throughout. Of course, this could be a 'lmitation' of the trial offer, but it sure won't convince me to lay down any cash!
Anyone experience anything similar?

I agree with the calls for standardisation but lets be real here, how many win/linux/mac apps really have true UI compatibility unless they are by the same software company. This player is similar to the Media streamer app and it obviously has similar UI code base.

I spent a few hours with Rhapsody, playing vintage Suicide and Verdi and Wagner and John Fahey. Quite a few clashes in musical style, but no crashes, or even hiccups.
