Hi Jasmine and Donald,

I really do love your show! By listening I've learned that there is a world of devices for listening to music other than iPods!

My family has had a subscription to Rhapsody for several years. I bought this when my kids were teenagers to discourage them from pirating music. I think it's an awesome service and I would rather give up my cable subscription than Rhapsody.

I'm ready to branch out to a portable player. While I see a list of players on the Rhapsody site, I'm having a hard time selecting one. Can you recommend a player that is reliable, easy to use, and is able to have a Rhapsody playlist downloaded to it? Cost is not the major factor here. I have the "Rhapsody Unlimited" service, so I think all I need is a player.

Thanks for your help!
