What is Rhapsody?

Rhapsody is a membership-based music service. You can listen to millions of full length tracks whenever and wherever you want. Tune in to continuous music on your PC, Web browser, and through TiVo® using Rhapsody Channels, or listen to personalized suggestions tailored to your musical tastes. Plus, you can buy MP3s for your iPod® or other portable players.

There are two types of membership:

• Rhapsody to Go ($14.99/month) ($14.99/month) allows you to listen and transfer all the music you want to supported MP3 players. See our recommended list. Rhapsody To Go is available on Windows PCs only.
• Rhapsody Unlimited ($12.99/month) allows you to listen to unlimited music on PCs and Macs, TiVo and many compatible home audio devices.

How is a Rhapsody membership different?

Unlike other music services that charge you every time you download a song, Rhapsody allows you to listen to full length, CD-quality tracks as often as you want. Our all-inclusive plans start at $12.99/month, less than the cost of a CD a month. So you can listen to and discover more music without paying for every single track or album.
