Rhapsody Music App Approved

We reported that Rhapsody submitted its music streaming App to Apple and was set to compete with Spotify’s own music subscription App. Due to Apple’s reputation of denying Apps for petty reasons and somewhat false claims, some speculated that Rhapsody’s offering would face some opposition from Cupertino but the App has been approved without any trouble.

While the App is free, you will have to pay a monthly fee to download content from Rhapsody’s library of over 8 million songs. However, you can sign up for a free 7-day trial to try out the service. Rhapsody’s VP of business management, Neil Smith had this to say:

“This breaks us out of the non-Apple MP3 player segment and now we can reach the iPod Touch and iPhone audience that was unavailable to us before,”
