Rhapsody is a service that offers music listening and downloading for a monthly fee. Now they have released an app for the iPhone that allows users who pay for a subscription to listen to music right on their device. The app let's subscribers search for any song that they can think of that is in the Rhapsody library, play it, and even form playlists within the app for later use. In concept, this is an exciting prospect for iPhone users as it is access to unlimited amounts of music. But it is not without it's caveats and issues.

The largest issue of all of these is the monthly subscription. Even subscribers to the pc service must still pay another monthly subscription on top of the one they already pay in order to have it on their iPhone. Another large complaint is that the quality is extremely low. There are arguments over whether Apple has anything to do with this or not but in the end, the music just isn't as high quality as one would hope. With more issues such as the occasional bug and poor performance over the Edge network, this app goes from being a great idea to a definite pass.

The concept is something that will eventually take off, but with the way things are currently, it's just not worth it. You an try it out for yourself with a free trial account. So pick it up and see for yourself how a great idea can be hindered by too many annoyances.
