I was getting REALLY frustrated by trying to get the Fuze to work with Rhapsody. I finally found "Settings" on the Fuze, went "System Settings" -> "USB Mode" -> "MTP" (for music transfer protocol) and things started working fine after that.

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 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.

Is the Rhapsody-to-Go w/ Sansa Fuze just like the $9.99/mo Rhapsody service w/ PC? Or is it more like iTunes in that if you want to take it with you then you would need to buy it per track/album?

we have had two sansa fuzes with no problems whatsoever with rhapsody to go either song, full cds or playlist, channels etc. just plug it in to the computer and it will show up on rhapsody and drag and drop

Hey David, thanks for that...after giving it another try, got rhapsody to go working using the method you described...pathetic though that the rhapsody software doesn't work the way it should without problems the way the napster software does.

Rhapsody doesn't yet fully support the clix2. You have to download the files from Rhapsody, then use Windows Media Player to push it to the device. If you trying transfering subscription music via Rhapsody, it will lock up both systems.

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.

Actually, you will get all that bio and background stuff. I just got my Zune HD. I haven't signed up for the Zune Pass yet. Currently, I have Rhapsody but will check out the Zune Marketplace before making the switch. All my MP3 files are either from Rhapsody, my own CDs, or Amazon downloads. All transfered to my Zune with no problems. I am able to get all that add'l information on the songs, albums, and artists if it's available.

I don't know if this is still of any use to you, but the short answer is yes, the Cowon S9 absolutely supports Napster-To-Go and other subscription services. Just make sure you enable MTP mode in the device's settings. Otherwise, Rhapsody will not recognize it as "to-go" ready.

500 CD's averaging 15 tracks per CD is a total of 7500 tracks. The iPod Touch 32 gig holds approximately 7,000 songs. A 40GB MP3 player will hold approximately 10,000 songs, but they are hard drive based and aren't designed for rough usage. 40 GB hard drive players are pretty hard to find these days so she might have to sacrifice some songs. She most likely doesn't actually listen to 500 CD's on a regular basis and you can always set iTunes to auto-rotate the songs for for fresh content. An alternative to the iPod Touch is the iPod Classic which packs 160 GB (around 40.000 songs) of storage. They are but around $250. The iPod Touch is also available in 64GB for a higher cost (around $300). An alternative to those two iPods is the Zune HD which packs 16, 32, or 64 gigabytes as well. These are considerably cheaper than the iPod equivilent. They also offered a 120 GB Zune (non-HD) but the price will vary as they are no longer manufactured. Sony also makes highly-regarded MP3 players that are comparable to MS and Apple. Besides These three companies, I can't really recommend buying anything else. I've owned all different types of MP3 players from Creative, Toshiba, Samsung, Sandisk, and the MS Zune but none of them come close to the tight integration that iTunes and iPod have. Every time I hit the sync button I'm confident the iPod will have exactly the songs I want on it. With Windows Media Player or the Zune software, a lot of the time it will end up partially syncing and some songs will duplicate. Album art is also a nightmare on these. As much as I don't like Apple's business model, their software and hardware are pretty hard to beat.

Where did you by the sound drivers and how much?I finally got mine working but before Brian's post. He is correct' as best I can tell, and the problem rests with our computer software. I purchased a " DVD Decoder" download load on line from Roxio (I paid $20.98 but you can get it for a one time only down load for about $15 -if that is what you want). It now plays DVD movies and installs software which is what I wanted. I uninstalled the Hero program from my computer. Happy with the results but I only wish that I had been able to read Brian James post before I purchased the fix.

I honestly don't know. Probably not because it is a refurbished item, but the might have something else alternative to Rhapsody. You might want to ask the seller first.

I just looked it up again and Insee that it's $28 if you have a Prime membership and $59 if you don't. From what I see, that's the same for either a disc or download. I prefer the download for two reasons: 1. The software key and download link are stored for you through Amazon and 2. It's easier to install across multiple platforms. Again, I am seeing the difference in the price if you are a Prime member or not, I don't see anywhere else where it's different. I might not be looking at the same thing you are....

If Rhapsody is an app that you stream music from you sure can. Because not only do I listen to music i downloaded on my phone but I also listen to music streaming from Pandora as well as iheartradio and even Youtube as well. Its just so flexible with options. I love this speaker, I have no regrets what so ever.

I cannot speak to its compatibility with Rhapsody, as I do not use with any service. Although the Philips website says it is compatible with Rhapsody, at least one customer disputes that claim: http://www.usa.philips.com/c/mp3-media-player/gogear-ariaz-8gb-sa4ara08kf_37/prd/en/?st=user&t=awards

Based on the information provided they both seem to do exactly the same thing. The 2 go looks better to me. I find the play button on mine a little difficult to depress. One thing they both say they do, "...safekeeping of precious audio in a future-proof, portable .MP3 format," mine does not make MP3 files. It creates .wav files that have to be converted to .mp3 format using iTunes or some other converter.

Hey - I too am in Birgitta's position, trying to decide whether I should stick with iPods or go over to Zune. I currently own a iPod Mini and did not like how the battery went bad and now can only be played once before the iPod says that the battery is low and goes out. I am trying to decide whether to get a 80G Zune or an 80G iPod classic. My main question is - being an iPod owner, I have put so much time into my iTunes organizing it, putting in cover art, etc.If I was to buy a Zune, can I get everything out of the iTunes, including cover art?thanks

I am not sure about the price, but I downloaded the 30 day trial version, liked it (upgrading from older version), so I simply provided payment information when requested and was given the information codes to make the files permanent. Only problem is that I do not have a backup disk, and I need to look into that so you might inquire about this before you finalize the purchase. I hope this answer helps. Dave Kerkes, Ph.D., P.E.

There is a service from Virtual DJ that is about $10 a month for you to have access to millions of songs. It is similar to Spotify but you are able to use it through your software. Otherwise you can only use downloaded songs. If you plan to DJ professionally you'll need to buy all of your music and that can get quite expensive so that subscription would be the best option.

remember your tomtom or garmin wants you to buy or warez map updates $79-109 a year? Remember Garmin's MSN FOREVER $129 option has no service guarantee past about 4-5 years from now? FOREVER service with a no-guarantee after a year?? Sounds more like 4 years for $129. Say if you were to take an update for the maps $89 a year and then pay their $129 MSN LIVE one-way traffic deal. 4 years - $89,$89,$89,$89,$129 = $10 a month. WOW amazing. Dash gives you map updates often much more frequently than a year. Guaranteed. They don't just roll out a new map when the map makers do; they patch what is there and when you complain; they fix it. Garming 660 $399? Dash $399? - we'll call it even but we all know dash is way cooler being openmoko and that it will get haxored due to GPL of source and that nifty ethernet/usb dev port. The API and SEARCH (yahoo local!) and GEORSS are the killer man. I cannot tell you that someone that knows yahoo pipes; xml; a little perl or php can overload the fields of information (or get an API dev key) and make some applets that are going to be so cool. You just gotta trust me until the NDA is lifted alot of cool ideas that are home-grown. That already exist and have been working for a while; written by beta testers are going to RAWWK!! your socks off.
