Can I get a refill? The Real Rhapsody
James Kim
James Kim,
senior editor

In response to the success of iTunes and the significance of Napster To Go, Real Networks has launched a revamped version of Rhapsody that incorporates many of its competitors' features. The biggest change is a Napster To Go-like subscription service that will allow users to transfer any number of 1 million-plus songs from Rhapsody's catalog to a compatible device. Rhapsody 25 is the free iTunes-like streaming audio jukebox software with 320Kbps MP3 encoding, 25 free streaming radio stations, and 25 free track streams per month. Rhapsody Unlimited is a $10-per-month subscription service with unlimited downloads and streams; it also has innovative community features such as playlist sharing and Instant Playlist, which automatically creates a playlist based on your preferences and usage history. For $15 a month, you can untether your downloads and transfer them to compatible devices in the new Rhapsody To Go subscription service. So which devices will be compatible with the service? Here's a partial list; you'll notice that some devices work with both Rhapsody and Napster To Go. Side note: Real Music Store downloads are again compatible with the iPod.

Review summary As did the phased-out H120, the H320 will attract those who value features as well as superior audio playback and recording quality over style. As iRiver's first 5GB entry, the H10 includes nearly every coveted feature, but navigating the player controls can frustrate some users. Gateway's latest digital audio player offers solid audio playback along with some nifty features for photo buffs on the go, but check out others in its class before you buy. If you want the most stylish PMC, look no further than the YH-999; if you need a battery that goes the distance, try elsewhere. The colorful and versatile Creative Zen Micro will make lots of users happy.
