This morning, we’re formally releasing our Rhapsody mobile app for the Android platform.
Now, people with Android-powered handsets like the Motorola Droid or Google’s Nexus One can explore and stream Rhapsody’s entire catalog of over 9.5 million songs from pretty much anywhere. Using the app requires a Rhapsody subscription, but anyone can try it free for seven days.
We’ve been beta-testing our Android app since January; thank you to the hundreds of people who have tried it and given us your feedback.
PC Magazine recently honored the app’s beta version with their Editor’s Choice award, saying “Rhapsody is the best streaming music service for Android.”
You can get the app for free starting this morning- check it out and let us know what you think.

Am hoping for and iPad version of Rhapsody soon...
What is the difference between the $14.99 and $9.99 services with regards to the iPhone and Android apps? Anything? Cause I don't use Window Media DRM devices anymore....
I just tried the app for android and there's a big question:
What's the quality of the streaming music???
64 kbps???
Please enable an option for high quality streaming: 256kbps, 320kbps or at least 192kpbs... and please, stop telling the customer that he cannot stream those high quality files over 3G because of network load.
You are not a telephone company, so network congestion is none of business. Leave that problem to the customer and the telephone company.
Thank you.
Does the Android version allow offline storage? I plan on getting the HTC EVO 4G when released on Sprint and there is a MicroSD slot for storage.
Great work. Can you guys add offline support, so that we can download songs directly to our android device so that we can play them back? You know, like a regular mp3 player? That would make this even more sweet.
I too would like to be able to download straight to my handset and be able to sync with my computer. If I could do all that for $10/mo then id say bye bye to my iPod. Do this now!!! Seems like limited functionality for a phone that comes with 16gb standard. Gogogogogo. Do this and ill tell all my friends. LISTEN TO THE PEOPLE. Thanks =)
