Troubleshooting

If the download seems to be taking a little while to start just wait it out. It might be that the server is busy so give it a few minutes.

If you’re trying to install from within the plugin version of Rhapsody and it doesn’t seem to be working, try the standalone app version instead. If all else fails go with the manual installation method demonstrated in the video above.

If you use a firewall or anti-virus, make sure Rhapsody is whitelisted and allowed to access the internet.

If you need further assistance you can open a support ticket through your Libre Wave account dashboard and we’ll get back to you as quickly as possible.

Until recently the Libre Wave website was the only source of Rhapsody instruments. However the player is open to third party developers and we are now starting to see Rhapsody libraries becoming available from other developers.

Here are two free ones available from Piano Book:
Layer Engine, Open Strings.

You can also purchase Libre Wave license keys from some third-party resellers and redeem them through your Libre Wave account.
For Libre Wave instruments, just install Rhapsody, log in to it, and click the download/install button for the library.

If you want to use the offline manual installer, either for Libre Wave products, or third-party instruments please follow the instructions in this video.
