Re: Rhapsody on the Nokia N800
 

It's got most of the music that I want, including some Paul Bley albums that are either unobtainable or very expensive on eBay or Amazon Marketplace. It has a live album by the Simple Acoustic Trio that I hadn't even heard of before and that's available absolutely nowhere else. I'm very impressed. I might have to move to the States so that I can keep the Simple Acoustic Trio tracks.

Actually, I'm not really in the market for a music subscription service. I like to order CDs online, savour the anticipation while waiting for them to be delivered, rip them to AAC, so that I can have the music with me when I'm out and about and -- this is so last century -- play them on an actual CD player when I'm at home.

While I loathe and abominate "jewel" cases, the requirement of physical storage the CDs acts as a useful brake on my tendency to buy more stuff than I can mentally keep track of.

All the same, I might find Rhapsody very tempting if it were available here. I like it a lot better than I would have expected.

Edit: "absolutely nowhere else", huh? It just suddenly crossed my mind to check iTunes. It turns out I don't have to move to the States after all. I'm just about to make my first iTunes purchase for 2.5 years.

If you sign up with Rhapsody you can use the Unlimited account both on the N800 as well as generally via a PC web browser, right? (assuming not at the same time).

Has any one logged into the N800 with a real rhapsody account -- does it allow you to maintain your library/playlists both via the N800 as well as on the web?

Yes, it works. You can even merge your trial account's settings with your paid account, though the interface is a bit unintuitive (it seems a bit prone to time-out, so not all your settings might be merged the first time).

Make sure you're only logged-in from one place at a time, otherwise your new connection will automatically boot out the pervious one.

Re: Rhapsody on the Nokia N800/ stereo out
 

This is a strange issue. I signed up for a paid rhapsody account (12.99/month). On my n800 it streams flawlessly. When i am listening w/ headphones or w/ internal; speakers no problems. When i hook up the n800 to my stereo reciever ie headphone jack to rca input on reciever, the music plays for about 1 or 2 songs then the stream is interupted and the music stops. When i try to hit play, it says content not found on server. As soon as disconnect the n800 from the stereo it will stream and play music. I can then connect again to stereo and it will work again for 1-2 songs and stop. I had it streaming through internal speakers for 1 hr now, so it is not the connection via wifi or the n800. Could anyone guess what is going on? Do they not want me connected to external speakers?

Re: Rhapsody on the Nokia N800
 

Drdoom, you may have a voltage or impedance matching problem, ie, the two systems being incompatible. The N800 *may* be encountering an overload due to it. However, it's been decades since I was an electronics designer so the rust covering those brain cells my be confusing the details...

EDIT: the earth grounding of the stereo system may be involved. Your headphones use a floating ground.

Re: Rhapsody on the Nokia N800
 

I really like the Rhapsody service but I have come across an issue with the Rhapsody free trial version. When I am connected to the internet via phone and I load up my playlist with music and play the songs on a random play, it usually stops working after a few songs. It does not do this when connect via wi-fi @ home. Does anybody else have this experience? Is there something I could do to fix the issue? Is this a problem just with the trial version? Thanking you in advance for any help that you may provide.
