Verizon Wireless and Rhapsody have teamed up to bring the subscription music model to cell phones. This partnership expands the Rhapsody DNA platform and once again proves that Rhapsody is more dynamic, far reaching and solid than any other subscription music model like Napster, eMusic, Yahoo! Music (oh, wait - Rhapsody acquired the Yahoo! Music business earlier this year). You can get Rhapsody on TiVO, Sansa MP3 devices, Sonos, Squeezebox, Verizon Phones, Denon Receivers, Panasonic MP3 devices, MAC browsers, Linux browsers and of course PCs - software and browsers.

So, how does it work with Verizon?
1) You need to have a Rhapsody To Go subscription. Click here to get a free two week trial. This gives you access to the entire 5,000,000+ song catalog. You can listen on your Mac, Linux or PC and up to three subscription compatible devices including Verizon phones and Rhapsody Enabled MP3 players.
2) You need to have a subscription capable Verizon phone - there are 22 of them currently (different colors count as different phones so it’s not that big of a selection). Click here for the list.
3) You need to have VCast Music with Rhapsody - Download that Here.
4) Link your VCast Music program with the Rhapsody To Go account by ativating the phone in the Rhapsody Jukebox software. You can now find songs in the Rhapsody Catalog and then transfer them on your phone. This includes custom radio stations, playlists and internet radio stations created by the editors at Rhapsody in any genre.

Additional items VCast Music gives you:
- VCast Song ID > Let’s you ID a song and get the ringtone for your phone
- Song downloads and purchases > if you want to own the song, not just listen to it, you can purchase a DRM free track through VCast Music and Rhapsody for $.99. This will synch up with your PC as well.

All in all, a pretty slick system.
