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

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.

Not directly due to digital rights management (DRM). There are third party apps to strip the DRM and then sideload file to Aura, but they are not especially easy to use and technically a violation of copyright law.

If you use a licensing agency such as MTI, then it will come with the music. Check the Amazon website product description.

NO! There's conflicting information on the website saying it will work, but when I purchased this the MP3 player would NOT register with Rhapsody. Do NOT buy this for a Rhapsody account.

I did not try that, but I am sure once they are on your computer you can download to the itunes area.`A1`

Don't know if you "have to" use iTunes. I did because it's where all my music is located.

***********David W. Wilkins says:What is the difference between MP3 downloads and ITune downloads? Can they both go on an Ipod Classic? Thanks. ********The biggest difference is that most music on iTunes (and most other download services) has activation DRM on it. You don't own what you're "buying".You're MUCH better off buying MP3s from Amazon's music store, which doesn't have DRM. (Note that Amazon's video store DOES have DRM). Or of course the best choice is buying a CD, which has no DRM, and the highest audio quality, and can be easily ripped at any bit rate or format you want for your iPod. ***********David W.

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.

I subscribe to rhapsody, and although it cost $15 a month, it is very user friendly, and unlimited

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.

No. You can, however, upload the entire library to Google Play music cloud. Easy to keep updated as well.

No and it was totally impossible to download songs from online. My daughter does not even use it anymore. Just collects dust now

Actually yes you can. I bought two for my daughters and anywhere including itunes that they find music the download without a problem.I don't know the technical differences besides brand name. However, the sound quality is good, also has files that can be stored so you can add more music.
