You must be signed in to do the following:

• Play full-length streaming(large audio or video file that is broken into smaller pieces and transferred from a server piece by piece, so it can be viewed immediately rather than waiting for the whole file to be downloaded) tracks from the Music Guide.
• Add tracks and albums to My Library from the Music Guide.
• Listen to Rhapsody Channels and live streaming radio.
• Create custom Rhapsody Channels.
• View and edit My Rhapsody.
• Create and edit playlists made from Rhapsody tracks(tracks that have been streamed, downloaded, or purchased from Rhapsody).
• Visit and publish on Playlist Central, an online Rhapsody community.

When you sign in, Rhapsody will synchronize My Library with your Rhapsody account and show all your Rhapsody tracks(tracks that have been streamed, downloaded, or purchased from Rhapsody) and playlists, along with the 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") tracks on that computer.

If you sign in to your Rhapsody account from a different computer, Rhapsody tracks that you have downloaded will appear in My Library as streams(large audio or video files that are broken into smaller pieces and transferred from a server piece by piece, so they can be viewed immediately rather than waiting for the whole file to be downloaded). You can choose to re-download your Rhapsody tracks at any time. To download tracks from My Library or the Mixer, select and right-click the tracks, then select Download Track(s) from the right-click menu.

Optionally, you can download to your current computer copies of tracks you previously purchased from the Music Guide on other computers, at no extra charge. (With this feature, you can maintain copies of your downloaded music on each of your authorized computers.) Just select Re-download Tracks in the My Account menu.

 

You can open the "Sign In" dialog by clicking the Sign In link at the bottom-left of the Rhapsody window (see below), or from the File menu.

After you are signed in, your sign-in name will appear at the bottom-left of the Rhapsody window, and the button will read Sign Out. Click to sign out of your account, or change email addresses.  

 

Note: If you have selected both the Save password and Auto sign-in at startup options in the "Sign In" dialog, then you can only open the "Sign In" dialog by selecting File > Sign Out from the Rhapsody menus. then clicking the Sign In button at the bottom of the Mixer/Playlists area.

The following fields and options appear in the "Sign In" dialog:
