Tivo Now Offering Rhapsody Music Service

Tivo recently announced they have made available a new way for its customers to experience digital music in the home. They will do this by delivering instant access to the Rhapsody music service through any broadband-connected TiVo box.

This exciting new joint venture now puts millions of songs and thousands of Internet radio stations at Tivo users’ fingertips from the comfort of their homes. Tivo subscribers can easily search for music directly from their Tivo box and instantly play anything from Rhapsody’s extensive music catalog of over four million songs using Tivo’s intuitive remote control and Emmy® award-winning user interface.

Among other functions, consumers can search for music directly from their TV using Tivo’s intuitive search feature, browse current charts of Rhapsody’s most popular, artists, albums and songs, check out weekly lists of new music releases, or listen to thousands of radio stations that suit virtually any mood.
The launch of Rhapsody on Tivo represents a fundamental leap forward in making Rhapsody accessible anywhere consumers want to enjoy music — on the computer, portable music device and mobile phone, and now through the television. The addition of music also adds to the diverse array of entertainment options for TiVo customers, joining movie downloads from Amazon, online content from sources such as The New York Times and The Onion, and the ability to share home movies through One True Media.

To celebrate the launch of this new service, TiVo subscribers have access to a free 30-day trial of Rhapsody. Consumers can choose to continue their Rhapsody service beyond the trial period for $12.99 per month.

Current Rhapsody subscribers who have broadband connected TiVo DVRs can access their existing Rhapsody music libraries (including artists, albums, playlists and channels) via their television at no extra charge. Subscribers can learn more about Rhapsody on TiVo and sign-up for the priority list found at www.TiVo.com/rhapsody to ensure that the Rhapsody update is delivered to their TiVo boxes as soon as possible.
