Rhapsody, Tivo Finally Launch Integrated Service
By Michael Santo
Executive Editor, RealTechNews
When I say finally, I mean finally. This integration was announced back in January at CES, and it just now launched today, for those with Series 2 and Series 3 standalone Tivos (we DirecTivo users are still left out in the cold for yet another feature).
Terms are the same as for the normal Rhapsody Unlimited service, $12.99 / month. If you want to be able to take your content with you, you have to sign up for the Rhapsody To Go service, for $2 more a month — and you have to use a PC for that.
Rhapsody and Tivo both had nice things to say about each other in the press release: 
“By adding music to our portfolio of broadband offerings, TiVo is the only universal entertainment provider in the living room,” said Tom Rogers, CEO and President of TiVo. “Since the beginning, TiVo has been focused on the principle of choice and control, giving our users the ability to experience TV on their terms. Together, TiVo and Rhapsody have extended the personal viewing experience on TiVo into music, providing consumers with an incredibly easy way to access their favorite artists from their television set. Our customers can not only navigate through hundreds of TV channels and thousands of movie downloads, they now have access to millions of songs all on their television set.”
“We’re thrilled to bring Rhapsody into the heart of the living room with TiVo,” said Rob Glaser, chairman and CEO, RealNetworks, which in partnership with MTV Networks, owns and operates Rhapsody. “By partnering with TiVo, we can now give consumers easy and unlimited access to Rhapsody’s library of four million songs from the comfort of their sofa. This is another important step as we fulfill our mission of bringing Rhapsody to consumers whenever and wherever they want it.”
We Say: Does this make Tivo’s PVR any more desirable than it is? Nah, in my book it’s already something I would not give up, ever. But it does give Tivo another bullet point to advertise to consumers.
Note that Tivo owners will get a free one-month trial to the Rhapsody service.
