Recording Rhapsody streams
You can download the .rad files from RealOne Rhapsody, but the the only program that can play .rad files is the Rhapsody player. And this player will only play streams from the Internet. To record Rhapsody streams you may use Direct sound recording software.

Replay Music works better than any other program with Rhapsody. They have implemented special track split detection that works 100% of the time, and the auto tagging works really well, too.

Rhapsody .rad songs and p2p networks

Because one have to convert .rad files to say mp3 using Direct sound recording software like Replay Music, there is no sense to search for such files in p2p networks like Morpheus, Kazaa, eMule, eDonkey2000, Bittorrent.

As for Napster, it is not a p2p network anymore. Napster is a legal on-demand music service.
