A Rhapsody MP3 Player  is made to use every aspect of Rhapsody.  Drag and drop tracks and albums from the Music Guide, playlists from Playlist Central, and even Rhapsody Channels to your device. With the appropriate membership, it's all yours to transfer and take with you, for free.*

If you like a track, you can choose to purchase it. Don't like a track? Give it the ban rating ( ) and you'll never hear it again. When you connect your device to your computer while you're signed in to your Rhapsody account, the tracks in your Rhapsody Channels will be refreshed, your ratings will transfer to My Library, and anything you want to purchase will be added to your Purchase Bin ( ) in the Sources area.

Every Rhapsody track you add to your device comes with the album art and Music Info that you see in the Music Info area of the Rhapsody Player Controls.

The Rhapsody MP3 Player lets you know when you need to reconnect to Rhapsody to refresh your licenses for the downloaded tracks you've transferred. Look for the colored dot (usually near the battery indicator) on the screen. You can also see your full subscription status information anytime by finding your Account information, usually via the Settings menu on your device .

*Not all the music on Rhapsody is available for download and transfer. Some tracks may need to be purchased before they can be transferred.

Tip: Right-click your portable player in the Sources area for the following right-click options:

• Device Options
• Create New Playlist on Device
• Authorize/Deauthorize
• License
• Format Device
• Disconnect

When you transfer a Rhapsody Channel to your Rhapsody MP3 Player, you are transferring over three hours of music from that Channel's normal song list. Channels on your device play just like they do on Rhapsody - you can skip forward, but not back. Like the song you're hearing? You can add it to your device library or On the Go List, or even add it to your Purchase Bin ( ) in the Rhapsody Sources area. Every time you connect to Rhapsody, you get a fresh selection of tracks for each Channel, programmed by our talented editors. You can add any Rhapsody Channel to your device, including Artist Channels, Custom Channels, and My Rhapsody Channel.

You cannot add live, streaming radio stations to your Rhapsody MP3 Player.

Note: See your Rhapsody MP3 Player documentation for more information about your device, the device library, and the On the Go list.

Your Rhapsody MP3 Player will warn you when your subscription tracks(downloaded Rhapsody tracks that have been transferred to a portable player or device) (including Rhapsody Channels and Dynamic playlists) need to be renewed. (To renew your subscription tracks, simply connect your device to your computer while you are signed in to your Rhapsody account.)

There are two places on your device to check your subscription track status:

• The status icon on your device screen.

A green dot will appear (usually next to your battery icon) after you have renewed your subscription tracks. If you do not connect your device to your Rhapsody account during the next thirty days, the dot will gradually change from green to red. When the dot is entirely red, your subscription tracks have expired, and you must connect your device or you will not be able to play them.

• The Account screen in your device menu.

The Account screen (usually accessible from your device Settings menu) will display:

• The date you last renewed
• The date your subscription tracks are due to expire
• How many days you have left before you must reconnect your device to your Rhapsody account

Note: See your Rhapsody MP3 Player documentation for more information about your device menus.
