Re: Rhapsody on the Nokia N800
 

I wrote a quick review of the Rhapsody app.

Terve, terve

Nice review.

Were you able to add other services to the streaming media player. So far I have only been able to add Rhapsody, and I really do not like Real products that much.

Re: Rhapsody on the Nokia N800
 

No moi!

As far as I see, Rhapsody is a dedicated application, even though I guess it uses the same UI as the Nokia media streamer.

Re: Rhapsody on the Nokia N800
 

Thought so. So the Nokia media streamer is pretty much useless then I guess.

I simply installed it and selected the 30 day trial. and now I can play all kinds of music! very nice. (using the applications manager)

I didn't really understand how it works at first, I never gave signed up for anything. So I looked at the user account settings.
And it seems that my user account is my "N800 Wifi MAC adress@nokia.com"

I think it works really really well. What I don't understand is what is this "US only" thing? I'm from Holland and could install and run the application without any problems

Re: Rhapsody on the Nokia N800
 

Running it and connecting is not the problem. Paying for the content after 30 days is the problem. US iTunes prices are different than European prices. Thus, you need a either a US bank account, or a credit card issued by a US bank or agency.

I downloaded Rhapsody , waded through all the fine print and then decided to uninstall it. I hate getting involved in paying for services that the vendor doesn't tell me up front what the cost will be. I also don't like the legal restrictions associated with it. I think maybe if I knew for sure that one monthly fee would cover both my Nokia downloads and my computer downloads and I knew what the fees and service quality was like before giving them my credit card number, I might do it.

The costs are prominently shown on the Rhapsody site.

Re: Rhapsody on the Nokia N800
 

The basic cost is 9.99/mo and if you listen to music at all..it's well worth it. Who cares about owning music when you can listen to just about anything anytime

Re: Rhapsody on the Nokia N800
 

I agree with you in principle, but in practice the Rhapsody service has too limitations making it not very useful for me:

1. No way to listen music while offline (flying or whatever)
2. Very limited music selection

Now, if I could "cache" music to a memory card things would be slightly more interesting...
