"Best MP3 Player for Rhapsody"
Pros: Rhapsody Channels and Rhapsody to Go Support
Cons: Scroll wheel; 2GB capacity
Summary: The Sansa e250R is how Rhapsody to Go should be experienced. Not only does it download music faster than other Plays for Sure devices (we own a regular Sansa e250 and a Zen V Plus also) , content is automatically downloaded to the player each time I connect to my laptop via Rhapsody Channels. These are helpful for finding new artists and songs that you wouldn't otherwise think of when looking for new music. Songs on the Channels are not added to your library but are available for listening on the player. If you like the song, you can add it to your library with a couple of clicks on the Sansa.
Album art, ratings, and the witty Rhapsody artist notes are available with a couple of clicks.
While the text is sharper and the interface is slicker than the original Sansa e250, the scroll wheel is the same and that's not good. Ipod owners will rightfully sneer at you when they pick up the Sansa. The scroll wheel is clunky and rough compared to the Nano. But when you compare Rhapsody to Go and Rhapsody Channels to Itunes, my bet is you will be alot happier. My daughter loves her Ipod but she is very jealous of how much music I get everytime I connect to Rhapsody.
One caveat - 2GB can get filled up very quickly with Channels. If you like a lot of music in your library, splurge for the 4GB or 8GB models.
