My son recently got an iTouch with some birthday money and a little help from Dad for his good grades. We already used Rhapsody to go as he has 3 sisters and I am not buying that many songs.

So I just setup one of our, already on our PC and serving 3 MP3 players, Rhapsody accounts on his iTouch and it all works fine and Rhapsody on the iTouch is not bad as an initial app.
Looking forward to the updates and thanks Dave for the reporting on Rhapsody on iStuff – it let me know the iTouch was doable for my son.

Be warned that you can’t go back to your discounted plan if you do the to go trial under your current subscription. The work around is to the trial under a different name/ email.

Yeah I use the Rhapsody Unlimited as well but I pay $129.99/year

How much is the to-go account on a yearly basis?

Disappointed to learn that you need the “to-go” feature. I pay 120/yr for “unlimited”. I think they need to rename that particular service tier!

Davis, Rhapsody has a different licensing model than Apple’s iTunes sales or Slacker/Pandora’s automated streaming selections. The non-mobile packages are $13/mo and support multiple devices, whereas the mobile packages that include downloads (as long a you’re a subscriber) require that additional $2 fee. At launch, the iPhone doesn’t include the download option. All the monies are paid to Rhapsody and have nothing to do with Apple as far as I know.

Marc, yah I’m not sure the current encoding is a deal breaker. The music sounded just fine (and comparable to other services) to my untrained ears for the type of casual listening most will use this product for.
