We started with friendly URLs for artists like http://www.rhapsody.com/theymightbegiants, and you asked us to do albums too. We heard you, and now it's ready. All the URLs on Rhapsody.com that point to albums now take the form rhapsody.com/(artist-name)/(album-name). Except for things like compilations and soundtracks where there is no primary artist, but we do our best in those cases.
These URLs also work for RhapLinks. So if you want to hear a particular album, just go to any browser and type http://play.rhapsody.com/(artist-name)/(album-name), i.e. http://play.rhapsody.com/underworld/beaucoupfish and the album will just start playing. Or IM the link to your friends so they can listen too. These URLs make it super easy to share music with your friends, and now with anonymous login, it's even easier for them to listen to it.
Look around the site -- all the URLs have changed. The urls in the Rhapsody Listening History Feeds have been updated with the new format too -- look at the links in my history on the left. If you have links on your site to the old /album?albumId=123456789 format, don't worry. We'll redirect you to the new URL. We see URLs as an API and are committed to maintaining backwards compatibility.

Human-writtable URLs rock! Talk about mash-up compatibility.
