Phew, this gig as Rhapsody's device guru is relentless. Just as soon as I get used to using the new Rhapsody Android App, Rhapsody turns around and releases their sweet new iPhone App.

The new Rhap App for the iPhone lets you download as much music as your iPhone can hold (I've got the 32GB'er, so I am light-years away from filling it up).

I have been chosen by my peers for this device guru assignment because I am technologically illiterate. I review jazz/rock/indie/soul, write Rhapsody's Coup De Stereo column, head up Rhapsody Radio programming, conduct advanced Frank Sinatra studies and wish they still showed Bugs Bunny cartoons before the movies.

I have zero digital skills.

So if I can figure out the new iPhone App in a couple of seconds, then nobody should have any problems with it. Still, here are a few pointers on using Rhapsody's updated iPhone App with unlimited downloads.

Whenever I tell people that I work at Rhapsody, the music subscription service, I often get this reply: "I'm not interested in something that is tied to my computer." Now, Rhapsody subscribers know that we were liberated from the PC years ago — there are Rhapsody-enabled mobile phones, MP3 players, boom boxes, stereos, TVs and more.

Rhapsody lets you take the music wherever you want to go for just ten bucks a month. With Rhapsody, you can listen to more than 9 million tracks, exclusive content, radio stations and playlists. Check out the news on our new mobile devices, and, when you're through, take Rhapsody for a free 14-day trial spin right here. 

I'm the new Rhapsody's device guru, but I am an old-world music nerd. They figure if Nick can figure this stuff out, anybody can. There are literally dozens of ultra-easy ways to get Rhapsody off your computer and take the music anywhere you want to go.

Recently, I have been testing the upcoming offline downloads upgrade to our Rhapsody iPhone app (it rocks) and have been trying out the awesome Rhap app for the new Android phone.

It’s hard to believe that I was chosen to be Rhapsody's device guru. I am an old-world music nerd and Rhapsody's jazz editor and the head of radio programming. I care more about checking out the Doors documentary or finding a Sinatra bootleg than I do about the latest gadgets.  

Actually, I think that's why they are having me tell you about the amazing world of Rhapsody devices. They figure if Nick can figure this stuff out, anybody can. There are literally dozens of ultra-easy ways to get Rhapsody off your computer and take the music anywhere you want to go.
