Rhapsody and Sandisk Sansa
September 29, 2006 at 2:45 PM by Eric| I'm a gadget guy. I like to think that I'm a discerning gadget guy, but that might be an oxymoron. While my gadget drawer has a good number of failed gadgets every so often I hit on a winner. Combining my Rhapsody To Go account with my new Sandisk Sansa (e270 6GB) MP3 player is one such winning combo. I’ve written about Rhapsody in one of my Web Smart newsletters (Wikis and Swikis and Blogs, part 2) in short it's a music subscription service that allows me to listen to just about anything I want. The best part though is how it helps me discover really great music with its recommendations, similar artists, influences, etc. But until I got my Sansa I could only listen to all this music while at my computer. With the Sansa I can add any music to my Rhapsody library and sync it with the player. Now I can grab an album, through it on the player and have it with me wherever I go. Nice! It does take a while (10-20 minutes) to fully sync my player to my library and update all the DRM tracks, but having the entire world's music available and mobile is awesome. Because the Sansa is a flash based devise it's small and light enough to take on a run. With 6GB of storage and a miniSD slot I've got plenty of room for all my music. Of course they did just release an 8GB versions, hmmmm, I guess I should at least wait until I've run out of room on my 6GB. |
