How to listen to the Rhapsody Music Service on your TiVo DVR

With a paid subscription, you can log in to your Rhapsody account from your broadband-connected TiVo DVR. You'll have access to the same library of songs that you see on Rhapsody online. You can even search Rhapsody using your PC, and have the music available on your TiVo DVR for easy playback through your living room speakers.

Try the Rhapsody Music Service free for 30 days. Then become a member by visiting www.rhapsody.com/tivo. (The same subscription works on computers and compatible portable players.) If you already have a membership with Rhapsody or the Best Buy Digital Music Store you can access it from your TiVo DVR right now — with no additional charge.
