TiVo Hearts Rhapsody

I'm a Rhapsody subscriber and I love it. For less than the price of a CD per month I can listen to virtually whatever I want, all the time, three concurrent feeds.

TiVo and Rhapsody just struck a deal which I think is a cool way for a lot of people to get their Rhapsody music to their AV system. Kudos. It's too bad that AppleTV would never support this. I do hope that at some point Apple offers a subscription service, it's so much nicer than 'owning' your music.

Really though, who isn't supporting Rhapsody these days? Real's hardware integration list, which includes iRiver, Nokia, SanDisk, Sonos, etc., now gets another notch in the bedpost with TiVo's newfound Rhapsody playback support. While you can thumbs up and down your selection (thanks, TiVo peanut), it doesn't sound like you can do much more than stream tracks and Rhapsody radio from the cloud, so if you're expecting some crazy TiVo-centered device syncing or portable media integration, think again. Unfortunately, the Rhapsody update launch date wasn't provided, so unless TiVo is going to flip a bit and turn it on today you may wind up wait a short while to get this going. And while we're on the topic of TiVo updates, not that we want to look a service-supporting gift horse in the mouth or anything, but we're still waiting for TiVoToGo and TiVoToComeBack for our Series3s and HDs, y'hear TiVo?
