Can this be used with Rhapsody? Also, can it be plugged into a sound system via the USB port to access music?

No, it can't be used with Rhapsody. It can be accessed like a file system. If your sound system can normally access data off of a flash drive then this will also work in that fashion.

Kermit, it should work as it is USB plug-n-play. If you looking for average sound then this is good, but if you are looking for better sound output then would suggest to look for something else.

this is not, despite being usb-powered, a midi controller, and is not able in any way to my knowledge to connect to an external device -- the usb connection is solely for power, so no, it is not compatible with anything, per se. This issue is addressed specifically in a couple of the reviews, also.

Yes, you can play music directly from a flash drive. You can plug in an size flash drive into the usb port.

Yes it will. Philips very own software songbird also works like rhapsody if for some reason it doesn't work for you.

I have no problems with Rhapsody-2-Go with the Fuze (other than my general dislike of the Rhapsody software's tendency to crash). It supports channels and downloaded tracks with no problems.

I haven't tried to play music through usb yet, but it does come with a headphone style jack for music input, and I can confirm that the usb port will charge devices. I should get some .wma and .mp3 files and try then on my phones external storage setting...

Sure can. It has an auxiliary output on it plus a USB, I can vouch that the auxiliary output will work, you just plug in your headphone jack to it, but not sure about the USB side, I've never tested that one.

Can anyone verify that this will play rhapsody through the dock on an iphone 3gs

I too had no luck with Rhapsody to go on the Sansa Fuze, after doing everything i could think of, firmware updates, installed windows updates, reinstalled Rhapsody, formatted my device. After too much frustration, i switched to Napster to go and it works perfectly. I like Rhapsody Unlimited but i need to be able to load my mp3 player up and i could never get Rhapsody to work at all with my mp3 Fuze. Rhapsody is best for those who want to listen online only, but Napster is best if you have an mp3 player you want to load up.

I think the USB only charges the unit. I have only successfully played sound with the aux

This unit has an aux connection which I have used with my laptop. Also there is USB and SD card functionality. If you use either the USB (with a memory stick) or SD slot your music must be in Mp3 format for it to work.

No USB port--strictly a CD player and radio. I do not know how one could play mp3's with this. I also had to use amplifying headphones with the used player I bought since the volume is quite low with regular headphones. Batteries do seem to last quite a while, however. Regards, Doug B.

I don't believe it can be used to play music. The manual says nothing about that. If I'm wrong, I'd love to know how to do it.

No you cannot. Do not buy this product. Mine broke after about a month and will no longer play CDs. The USB port is for thumb drive use and does not support mp3 play let alone charging.

There's one USB port that's for MIDI connections with a computer. Apparently songs can be uploaded or downloaded -- but I've never used this stuff.

Yeah it has a midi output. Not a usb ouput. I have a midi with a usb so I can connect it to a computer. It is actually for a piano but works fine with the drum set.
