Yahoo Music Shutting Down - Switching Users to Rhapsody

Yahoo Music is closing its website and switching its users to Rhapsody. The change is expected to occur sometime in the first half of this year. Yahoo music customers will keep the same rates for a limited time, but will eventually need to switch over to Rhapsody's rates. Apparently, Rhapsody will be integrated into Yahoo's music portal. More specific details are forthcoming.

Yahoo Music was a nice service, but it never really was able to catch up to Rhapsody in terms of performance. I think Yahoo music customers will enjoy Rhapsody's service, but they will miss the Yahoo price.

Sansa Clip with Rhapsody DNA

I've been testing the recently released Sansa Clip player and so far I'm very pleased with the results.

This is one of the smallest players you will ever see, yet somehow it squeezes in a very nice user interface with an electric blue on black screen. On the back of the player is a built in removable clip which makes this player perfect for the gym.

You navigate the Sansa Clip using a circular click pad which I found to be very quick and responsive. A home button located above the click pad takes you back to the menu screen. There is also a power-hold button on the left and a set of dedicated volume control buttons on the right of the player. The sound is very good and the player is packed with options including a voice recorder and and FM radio receiver.

It also comes with built in support for the DNA. For those of you who subscribe to Rhapsody to Go, this is a great feature. You can download any track from Rhapsody on to you player and listen to it on the go. Just make sure you plug in your player to Rhapsody each month or else your tracks will expire. I've been downloading a feature called Rhapsody channels. This allows you to pick a favorite genre of music and have hours worth or music automatically updated and refreshed on your player every time you plug it in. Basically, its like taking a radio station to go. If you like a track, you can click on it to automatically add it to your library.

If you are looking for a small portable player that's great for the gym, you won't find a more full featured player than the Sansa Clip.

Ryan Adams - Easy Tiger

Ryan Adams is back to his old ways (kind of) on Easy Tiger. I've given it a couple of listens and although its probably his best album since Rock N Roll, its still a bit subpar.
