Using your iPod with Rhapsody

First things first: the iPod does not work with Rhapsody To Go subscription tracks. At this time Apple does not support track "rental" from Rhapsody or any other subscription music service. However, you can still transfer tracks you have purchased as MP3 files from Rhapsody, added from your hard drives, or imported from CDs.

With Rhapsody you can:

• Manually transfer tracks and playlists that you own, including MP3 files purchased from Rhapsody.
• Manage the contents of your iPod - delete tracks and playlists, or create playlists from the tracks that are already on the device.

How do I know what I can transfer to my iPod?

Any track that you have imported, you can transfer to your iPod. To see what is available in your Library, open My Library, and view the Track type column (to the right.) You can also transfer MP3 files purchased from Rhapsody to your iPod. If you see Imported or MP3 as the track type, you can transfer the track to your iPod.

When your iPod is connected, you can drag and drop tracks, albums, and playlists from My Library onto the portable device icon in the Sources area. You can also drag and drop local(computer resources such as drives or files that are part of a computer, or available on a Local Area Network; music files located on your computer's hard drive(s) are referred to as "local") playlists from your collection in the Playlists area. You will not be able to transfer any track that you do not own. You can burn secure .RAX tracks you have purchased from Rhapsody to a CD or listen to them on your computer, but you cannot transfer them to your iPod. MP3 files purchased from Rhapsody, however, can be transferred to your iPod.

Important: Tracks you have purchased from the iTunes music store cannot be transferred to your iPod using Rhapsody. Rhapsody software cannot play purchased iTunes tracks. This is because of the type of Digital Rights Management used on those files. When Rhapsody imports an iTunes library, it matches purchased iTunes tracks with streamed Rhapsody tracks whenever they are available.  You will not be able to transfer them from your Rhapsody Library to an iPod.
