Rhapsody has today taken its Android music app out of beta and launched the finished thing, bringing the ability to stream “over 9.5 million songs” to your Android phone.
Of course, music is not free, despite what you may have learned from the internet over the last decade – you’ll require a paid Rhapsody subscription to use the service, but there is a free seven day trial currently on offer for new joiners. Here’s the full Market sales pitch:
“Hear your old favorites or listen to the newest releases. The Rhapsody App makes it easy to tap into over 9 million songs from wherever you are. With a subscription, you can listen to anything and everything in the catalog–and offline playback coming soon. Download the beta today and try it FREE*.
*Trial for new customers.
And some pics:
Looks like this is a US-only launch at the moment, as was the beta test – Rhapsody’s not showing up for us on the Android Market. Go and leave an aggressive comment about this international oversight over on the official announcement blog post.
HTC’s 4.3″ dual-core Android model, powered by Qualcomm’s all-new S4 processor. It’s smaller than the enormous One X, but is it as nice as its bigger brother? (SPOILER: Yes it is).
HTC is very much B-A-C-K at the top of the Android world with this, its quad-core flagship for 2012. Great camera, huge 4.7″ display and Android 4.0 running beautifully well.
Sony returns with an all-new mobile design for 2012, pairing a dual-core processor with a 720p display. It’s a lovely phone, but is it enough to end our Samsung and HTC obsession?
LG’s updated Prada phone comes with an absolutely crazy black & white theme, but is it just for fashionable suit wearers who want to make themselves look a bit more interesting?

/ April 6, 2010I use Last.fm, it allows for scrobbling, it’s free and I’ve been using the browser version for ages, so my music library has gotten pretty large. The drawbacks are- there’s no offline mode and you can’t just pick and choose specific tracks to play on the Android version.
