If you are using the latest 6.5.1 with firmware 69, this is a known  
bug and will be fixed in firmware 70 which is undergoing testing.   
Wait for that, or downgrade to 6.5.0.

*shrug* New features often require new firmware.

Please file bugs you see with Rhapsody, it should work fine from both  
the player and web UI (assuming you're not using firmware 69. :)

Works for me, although I am using 6.5.1 with firmware 70 (not yet  
released).  You have to wait a few seconds for the right pane to  
populate with tracks.
