Rhapsody brings streaming music app to Blackberry

By Aemon Malone October 19, 2010

Rhapsody has landed on the BlackBerry in beta form. The streaming-music service has been available for iPhone and Android users for sometime, but up until now has neglected Research in Motion’s BlackBerry. Rhapsody announced that the service is now available to users of “America’s hardest-working smartphone” through an app available at Rhapsody’s website. It plans to make the app downloadable through BlackBerry’s App World soon.

BlackBerry users can try the service out with a free seven-day trial and then expect to pay $9.99 per month for unlimited streaming of Rhapsody’s library of 10.5 million songs. Currently the service is only accessible with a Wi-Fi, 3G, or EDGE connection, but the company says it plans on bringing offline capability through unlimited downloading to the BlackBerry soon.

For the time being, BlackBerry users can enjoy Rhapsody’s customizable playlists, on-demand music streaming, and customizable radio stations.

I’ve used Android phones for 10 years, and I hate these ones the most

I’ve been using and reviewing Android smartphones for at least a decade, and during that time, I’ve spent time with a massive variety of devices that mostly fall into three distinct categories: good, passable, and bad. But what about the ones that have really stirred my emotions in a negative way? The phones that have elicited a visceral, guttural response? I’m not talking about the ones I love, but the ones I’ve downright hated.

Here are the six models that have irked me the most over the last 10 years of using and reviewing smartphones, and the reasons why they’ve made this list.

Apple Music Sing brings karaoke singalongs to iPhones, Apple TV

Apple Music Sing.

Apple wants you to sing like everyone's listening with its new Apple Music Sing feature, a karaoke mode that works with the music streaming service's popular lyrics experience.

Available later this month on iPhone (11 and later), iPads (third-gen and later), and the 2022 model of Apple TV 4K (not earlier models, for some reason) to really max out the karaoke experience in living rooms, Apple Music Sing will be incorporated right into the Apple Music app, giving you the option to use a slider to control the volume of the vocals in Apple Music's song library so you can sing along. With the slider, you can tweak the volume to either blend your voice with the singer's or drop them out completely to go solo. Background vocals are also viewable independently from the main vocals for budding backup singers to follow more easily, and a Duet view separates multiple singers' lyrics on opposite sides of the screen.
