Do you have to have a subscription to Rhapsody, or another company to download music?

No...I can sync music from my cds via my computer using a simple usb connection

"Most music" is still on CD. You can rip to any format you want--and OGG sounds better, and of course is completely free. There are dozens of other manufacturers who support OGG. Why wouldn't I just look there instead of being coerced into ripping in an inferior format?

No. The device has a station list from which you make your selections. No access to Pandora, Spotify or other paid services. Music stations are available from several countries.

Yes you do need to pay a subscription. However, with some bands they offer 3 month free trials.

I had trouble syncing the Sansa with rhapsody and my computer. My computer would not recognize the sansa. Rapport would download but I could never get all of my music to play.

Media Monkey, Rhapsody, iTunes.... none of these download directly to the SanDisk, nor do they need to. If the music files are physically on your computer, you can load to the SanDisk. All you need to do is plug in the SanDisk player and open the its Music Folder. Then locate your music files and drag them into this folder. Vioila!

Yes, as long as you have Google Play or something you can download the Pandora App from.

As I purchase my music through Amazon I tried downloading the Amazon CloudPlayer App with no luck, so I imagine that the Pandora might be problematic as well though it seems that others have been able to do it without a problem. Just remember it is truly a WiFi unit which means you have to be in a wifi area for it to work.

I use copytrans to install my music 1 by 1, but you need to have Itunes on your pc

Just to correct one misconception. The iPod is not limited to music purchased at the iTunes store. You mentioned my favorite source, emusic.com which works great with an iPod (or any mp3 player). Unprotected mp3s from any source will work just fine. You are correct in that iPods don't work with subscription services.

it doesn't sync with any type of accounts. It is essentially a portable hard drive, so music must be physically copied onto it like any other file would on an external drive

Thank you, I called and spoke with someone at Rhapsody as well. I asked about the available service for the use of ipods. It was said to me that the older version ipods are not serviceable by Rhapsody. It was said to me only the newer ipods were accepted for service. I know this doesn't have to do with the Phillips but I figured any available information is helpful when in search of a gadget such as the mp3 player for the particular use on Rhapsody. Thank you for the info on the Phillips mp3. I am sure it will be very helpful to many people.

Hi!You need to download iTunes on the computer, open up an account with them and buy the music you enjoy.

I think Amazon probably has the best collection of MP3 files which work on pretty much any player out there, so I would go with them. I don't think any of the subscription services work with the d2 (Rhapsody to go, and similar) so it will be a buy every song affair. I think Amazon has some of the best prices too.

I did not download music only ripped from cds. The included software should make it pretty easy though. Sorry not more help.
