Adds downloads to embrace iPod.
Today, Rhapsody announced the opening of a DRM-free MP3 store. The tracks will be compatible with most music players, but most importantly, the iPod. This is a significant shift in the thinking of the company, who, until today, only “rented” tracks using their subscription model.
“We’re no longer competing with the iPod,” Rhapsody Vice President Neil Smith said. “We’re embracing it.”
The new store from Rhapsody is only available in the US and contains 5 million songs. One interesting feature to this service is the ability to preview an entire song, instead of a 30 second window.
