Re: Rhapsody on the Nokia N800
 

Every phone data plan I've ever seen bans streaming of songs/video, downloading, or pretty much anything but email and viewing web pages. I'm guessing they're either detecting the streaming and shutting it down or your phone can't push the data through quickly or consistently enough to keep Rhapsody happy. It can be pretty picky about requiring very quick response (latency) and ample amounts of bandwidth.

Re: Rhapsody on the Nokia N800
 

Thanks for the help lbattraw. It must be a picky Rhapsody service requiring ample bandwidth. I had feeling this was the issue. I say this because I have been downloading & streaming music with my data phone for well over a year and I have never had issues. Do you think this issue could be fixed in a update? I mean since the N800/770 utilizes the bluetooth connection with data phone so well.

Rhapsody on the Nokia N800 - broken account!
 

I subscribed a couple weeks ago after enjoying the trial on my n800 and today when I went to listen today it told me "account login failed" whenever I tried to play anything. It still synchronizes changes to my library when I listen on my PC (via the Firefox browser plugin on Linux), it just never allows me to play songs. I'm guessing this is some lame bug involving the expiration of my trial account despite the fact I entered in my paid account details under the accounts section. It won't let me delete the expired eval account and merging it doesn't work either. I even removed/purged the package and reinstalled with no luck.

Anyone else have something similar happen? I tried sending a tech support request to Rhapsody but they were not exactly helpful, saying that virtually all problems with the software would have to be resolved by Nokia. Yeah, thanks Rhapsody! No actual reply yet, just a big disclaimer before they would let me submit the request.

Same here. Account has expired [even though it was supposed to be a forever account with limited genre streams]. Hate to keep pounding on Nokia [my previous rant was about Orb], but again, how about a little concern for the customer? How about a little testing? Sigh...

Re: Rhapsody on the Nokia N800
 

Forever? I don't remember that. Can someone quote directly any promise of getting something forever?

Re: Rhapsody on the Nokia N800
 

See:

http://learn.rhapsody.com/plans?page...ch&cpath=ppcse

Note column marked 'FREE'. I went to the website to check the plans before I loaded the damned thing...

[good enough of a quote?]

Re: Rhapsody on the Nokia N800
 

I think you can get free music there now, if you have a compatible browser. I didn't see the word forever, but maybe close enough for present purposes. Fire up firefox!

Re: Rhapsody on the Nokia N800
 

As Opera is not a 'compatible browser', foolish me, I thought that was the very reason for a dedicated rhapsody application for the 800.

Re: Rhapsody on the Nokia N800
 

i have a paid to go plan at$14.99/month and iam having log in errors similar to yours. I am also having my playlist stop for no reason, that was yesterday. Also the n800, while listed as to go compatible , isnot , it can't be authorized so you can't down load to it. Very disapointed as i was hoping to make it work as i play music ovwr my stereo at work for 12 hrs/ day, but rhpsody stops after 4 songs in my playlist. Very buggy indeed.

I remember seeing 30 day trial.
